How To Confirm Kidney Disease?

Lately, my daughter is producing many soggy diapers a day, but her stool is firm, small fecal balls. She drinks throughout the day. When she had a fever a month ago, the doctor said that she had mildly elevated kidney values indication mild dehydration.How likely is this that she could have kidney disease.?

Hi thanks for asking question.
You gave not mentioned age of your child.
During fever as less water drinking she might have dehydration and kidney function test comes abnormal..
To look for kidney disease like pyelonephritis , stones or glomerulonephritis USG can be done....
If kidney disease there causative treatment done...

If cause not clear and urine show proteinuria then for further work up if needed biopsy might needed.

Take care...
