The diagnosis of eosinophiluria is typically made through a urine test. This test can identify the presence of eosinophils in the urine, which is a sign of inflammation in the kidneys.

The treatment for eosinophiluria depends on the underlying cause. If the condition is caused by a drug reaction, the offending drug may need to be discontinued.
