Nephrology

Very often the symptoms of urogenital system affections may be nonspecific and only thorough instrumental and laboratory examination helps to make an exact diagnosis.

GMS Clinic provides a whole complex of investigations, which according to the attending medical doctor's prescriptions may include the following:

Urine analysis. In this analysis is included: microscopic sediment investigation, presence of protein, glucose, ketones, blood, nitrites, pH urine determination.
Express-tests that are very often used:
- Protein identification in urine (especially actual when leukemia, multiple myeloma…)
- Sugar identification in urine (diabetes or kidney lesion)
- Ketones in urine (noncompensated pancreatic diabetes, alcoholism…)
- Blood in urine (renal insufficiency…)
- Nitrites (as a rule of alimentary origin)
- Leukocytes (inflammatory signs of any origin )
Urinary sediment investigation – detection of lesion place and character
Urine inoculation
Functional tests for renal disease estimation and control
Ultrasonic scanning (radiologic methods are long ago displaced by this method of investigation)
CT (computer tomography)
Excretory urography (with contrast) – for kidneys and lower parts of urinary tracts visualization
Retrograde pyeloureterography
Angiography – for vascular lesion detection when ambiguous tomography results, when suffering of tumor, when persistent one-sided bleeding, when poor kidney function.
Venography
MRT (magnetic resonance tomography) – provides with supplement information about kidney tumors that cannot be obtained by other methods.
Kidney biopsy – sometimes the only method of making diagnosis. Also helps to control the clinical course and treatment.
