Hello,

The many of the relevant information to pin point to particular possibility of kidney pathology are not available as amount of protein in urine, additional cast or sediments through which we can differentiate between the nephritic and nephrotic syndrome ahead. A kidney biopsy is the key report necessary when all scan reports are normal and persistent symptoms or lab data is suggestive of kidney malfunction.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
