# Urine Tests

Urine tests (proteinuria) may also be done to measure the amount of protein in the urine. This can be a clue that damage to the kidneys has occurred, because protein in the urine is not normal. Urine tests can also identify the existence of abnormal cells or measure the concentration of electrolytes.

#Abdominal Ultrasound

This test can assess the size of the kidneys and pinpoint where the obstruction exists (if any).

#Kidney Biopsy
