To assess kidney function and diagnose kidney diseases, common diagnostic tests include blood and urine tests, imaging studies, and biopsies. Blood tests like serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and electrolyte levels provide insights into kidney function. Urinalysis can reveal protein, blood, or cell abnormalities. Imaging techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) help visualize the kidneys and surrounding structures. Kidney biopsy is a procedure to remove a small piece of kidney tissue for histological examination, which can aid in the diagnosis of various renal diseases.
