An accurate assessment of proteinuria is crucial for the evaluation and management of CKD since it is a major predictor of unfavourable cardiovascular and renal outcomes. Methods such as dipstick, precipitation, and electrophoresis can be used to measure total urine protein. It is crucial for doctors to be well versed about the different kinds of urinary proteins, albumins, laboratory procedures, and urine sample techniques. Join us as Dr. Ravindra Prabhu, Professor of Nephrology at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, discusses assessment of proteinuria. 

Assessment of Proteinuria

In India, the increasing burden of CKD puts a strain on existing health policies due to a lack of financial resources, educated staff, and infrastructure. Dialysis maintenance is a well-known treatment option for people with end-stage renal failure. Unfortunately, the quality of dialysis provided to patients in our country varies from centre to centre. The quality could range from low to excellent, depending on the location. This is due to the lack of clearly defined maintenance dialysis care standards. Dr. Ravindra Prabhu, Professor and Head of the Department of Nephrology at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, will discuss the key do's and don'ts of treating CKD patients on dialysis.
