Diagnosis
The renal damage or the renal dysfunction is mainly characterized by 2 conditions.One is the abnormal blood,urine or the imageological examination.The other is the reducing GFR that is less than 60ml/(min•1.73m2) for more three months.

The Stage of CKD
According to the GFR,CKD can be divided into 5 stages.

stage	description	GFR ml/min/1.73m2
Ⅰ	slight renal damage with the normal or increased GFR	≥90
Ⅱ	renal damage with the slight decreased GFR	60~89
Ⅲ	moderate decline of GFR	30~59
Ⅳ	severe reduced GFR	15~29
Ⅴ	ESRD	<15

PS.GFR means the the glomerular filtration rate that is a index of renal function.
Test
Some routine tests are common to patients,like Blood Test,Creatinine,etc.Besides,our hospital provides other special tests for patients:
--Lymphocyte Subsets
--Urine Protein Electrophoresis
--Autoantibody Tests
--Toxins in Blood Serum
--Kidney Damage Tests
