How Do Pediatric Nephrologists Diagnose Kidney Disorders?

Diagnosis typically involves a combination of:
- Medical History and Physical Examination: Gathering detailed information about the child's symptoms, family history, and overall health.
- Lab Tests: Blood and urine tests to assess kidney function and detect abnormalities.
- Imaging Studies: Ultrasounds, MRI, or CT scans to visualize the kidneys and urinary tract.
- Biopsy: In some cases, a kidney biopsy may be necessary to determine the exact nature of the kidney disorder.
