Question

to know kidney failure in patients with diabetes and hypertension, what is the amount of urine tested?

Answer 1

The earliest sign of diabetic kidney disease is an increased excretion of albumin in the urine. As a person with diabetes, you should have your blood, urine and blood pressure checked at least once a year. This will lead to better control of your disease and early treatment of high blood pressure and kidney disease

Answer 2

GFR is a measure of kidney function and is performed through a blood test. Your GFR will determine what stage of kidney disease you have – there are 5 stages. Know your stage. ACR is a urine test to see how much albumin (a type of protein) is in your urine.
