no means exhaustive:

- Unexplained haematuria
- Renal failure

- Inherited kidney disease
- Difficult hypertension

When in doubt, refer. It's better to refer
earlier than too late. When chronic renal failure
is diagnosed early, renoprotective measures may
still be effective in slowing or arresting the
relentless march to end-stage renal failure.
