How is Kidney Stress Diagnosed in Cancer Patients?
Diagnosis involves a combination of clinical evaluation, blood tests, and imaging studies. Blood tests measuring serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels help assess kidney function. Urinalysis can detect proteinuria or hematuria, indicating kidney stress. Imaging studies, such as ultrasound or CT scans, can reveal structural abnormalities. In some cases, a kidney biopsy may be necessary to determine the exact cause of kidney dysfunction.
