A doctor once asked the patient's medical history and signs and symptoms that arise, for determining the existence/occurrence of kidney failure so he will perform a physical examination in his focus on the possibility of kidney organ enlargement or swelling around the kidneys. If suspected of impaired kidney function, then the patient will be consulted to a kidney specialist (Nephrologist).

Further laboratory tests performed either blood or urine to see the levels of electrolytes, sodium and potassium/potassium. In some cases the medical team may perform installation of the catheter tube into the urine bag (bladder) to remove the urine.
