Evaluation of renal disease progression: Markers
In this step, Prof. Chen introduces several markers to evaluate the progression of CKD and the kidney function of patients.
To begin with, she emphasizes the importance of lean body weight in C-G Method. Therefore, please check your local reference for lean body weight.
Secondly, the normal level of BUN is around 10 to 15 mg/dL. When a patient’s level is above 18, we should notice if there is any risk factor. After removing those factors, you may find the BUN level back to normal.
Finally, the urinalysis is important as well. We need to check the physical and chemical properties, pH value, protein content, and sodium excretion.
