Urine tests and blood tests are used to detect kidney diseases. The key markers used for detection are abnormal urine albumin levels and a continuous reduction in the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate. Many diseases resulting in kidney failure have their origins in childhood, therefore, early diagnosis and proper treatment may improve prognosis as well.
