end stage renal disease (esrd)

How is ESRD Diagnosed?


ESRD is diagnosed through a combination of blood tests and imaging studies. Key indicators include a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 15 mL/min and elevated levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scans can help visualize the extent of kidney damage.
