Symptoms of arteriolar nephrosclerosis include:
Diagnosis of arteriolar nephrosclerosis typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests (such as urine and blood tests), and imaging studies (such as ultrasound or CT scans) to evaluate kidney function and identify any structural abnormalities. A kidney biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other possible causes of kidney damage.
