A urinalysis (UA) is a set of tests that detect cells and substances (e.g. crystals, casts) in the urine done as part of a health exam or to help detect a urinary tract infection, kidney disorder or other condition.
To determine GFR, your doctors monitor blood levels of the substance creatinine. The higher the creatinine level, the higher the likelihood that the kidneys are not filtering at normal speed. In addition to blood tests, urinalysis can detect protein and/or blood in the urine-also signs of kidney diseases. Anyone can get chronic kidney disease at any age.
