AKI tests
Ultrasound
CBC for Hgb
CMP for BUN/creatinine, phosphate/Ca, potassium
VBG for decreased CO2 and pH levels
UOP
Normal GFR
125
ESRD test results
Low GFR, high Cr and BUN, potassium imbalance, sodium and water imbalance
Metabolic acidosis, low calcium, high phosphorus
Anemia
MI
Health hx, 12 lead, echo
Cardiac biomarkers: creatine kinase (CK-MB), troponin, and myoglobin
Aortic stenosis
ECG, TEE (echo), CT, MRI
Cardiomyopathy
Echoes
Infection of heart (Peri/myo/endo carditis)
Echoes, ECG, cardiac catheterization, CT
Cultures, CBC, rheumatoid factor, ESR, C reactive protein
Cardiac biomarkers for MI
Troponin (T <0.1, I <0.35)
Creatine kinase (CK-MB positive)
Myoglobin (negative can rule out MI)
Normal hba1c
2.5-6%
