Our Approach: How Do We Work?
Identifying the Source of Kidney Issues
Identifying the origin of your kidney disease and/or kidney stones relies on a specialized assessment crucial for accurate diagnosis. This involves recommended blood tests, a 24-hour urine collection for urine analysis, and a cytobacteriological urine examination.
While kidney and urinary tract ultrasound is common, a CT scan of the abdomen or urinary tract may be essential for precise diagnosis of kidney damage. In certain cases, understanding kidney problems may necessitate a kidney biopsy or a “Crystalluria” examination.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.
Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli.
