Featured Lab Tests Special for Diabetes and Kidney Disease

Name of the disease: Diabetes and Kidney Disease

Items of lab tests:

1. Renal damage series

2. Uremia series

Routine lab tests include:

1. Biochemical test

2. Blood coagulation detection

3. Urinalysis

4. Blood cell analysis

5. Virus series

Special tests:

1. Immunization tests

2. General tests

The purpose of immunization tests (Renal damage series):

To figure out whether injury exists in the kidneys

To decide the specific injury site is in glomeruli or renal tubulus

To measure the injury severity, and then give instructions to the clinical prescription

To decide the patients’ drug sensitivity in order to guide the clinical treatments

Among all these tests, the tests for total urine protein, MALB (microalbminurine) and urine IgG aim at measuring the injury severity of glomeruli and the drug sensitivity.

Urine α1-MALB is used to see if the reabsorption of renal tubulus is damaged and how serious the damage is.

Urinary enzyme GGT and Urinary enzyme NAG is the criteria of deciding whether the inflammatory injury occurs in renal tubulus, besides, by detecting the GGT and NAG, the injury severity can be told.

In order to estimate the injury severity of reabsorption in distal nephrons, we will detect urine osmolality (UOsm).

The purpose of immunization tests (Uremia series):

To figure out the accumulation of toxins in the body

Give suggestions for the clinical treatment, such as choose a right approach to clear the toxins out. Those tests include: urea nitrogen, creatinine, urea acid, β2-MALB, Cystatin C, RBP (retinol-binding protein), HCY(homocysteine) and PTH (parathyroid hormone).

Among all those substances, urea nitrogen, creatinine and urea acid are small molecules, while medium molecule toxic substances includeβ2-MALB and Cystatin C. Those two substances take part in amyloidosis. Other toxic matters such as PTH would result in bone disease, and detection of RBP contributes to the early detection and prognosis.

Why those lab tests matter?

Five years after the diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (D1M) and by the time of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (D2M) diagnosis, possible kidney diseases may occur accordingly. That’s why immunization tests are indispensable for the diagnosis and further treatment. Kidney Disease Hospital (SKDH) has carried out Cystatin C lab test as a diagnostic criterion for Diabetes since 2007. All those lab tests contribute to the correct diagnosis and further treatments.
