SPECIFIC MANIFESTATIONS OF RENAL DISEASE
This section reviews the approach to the patient with specific manifestations of renal disease such as proteinuria, hematuria, pyuria, or azotemia. The evaluation of all such patients includes a detailed history and physical examination, a urinalysis, and determination of the serum concentration of creatinine, urea nitrogen, and electrolytes. A timed collection of urine for calculation of the creatinine clearance and rate of protein excretion is often helpful. Other studies, including anatomical imaging of the urinary tract or renal biopsy, may be indicated.
