Important diagnostic approaches for renal disease


1. GFR – most important for renal function
2. Urinanalysis
3. Ultrasound
4. Urine culture
5. Blood values (electorlytes etc…)
6. Biopsy

associated glomerular diseases.
4. Acute urinary tract infection – typical clinical expressions, diagnosis, management
5. Characterization of most common morphological types of expression of glomerular
diseases

glomerulonephritis

diagnosis, and treatment.

10. Acute kidney insufficiency – definition, clinical classification, oftenly seen causes,
management
11. Chronic kidney disease: definition (NKF-KDIGO 2012), characterization of stages
and significance
12. Chronic kidney disease: diagnosis and management of crucial clinical syndromes.
13. Characterization and interplay of the types of renal replacement therapy.
14. Planned start of renal replacement therapy and indications of urgent start.
15. Glomerular and non-glomerular hematuria: differentiation and according further
diagnostic approach.
