urinalysis lab Flashcards
estimating creatinine without collecting urine
Cockroft gault eq
creatinine clearance formula
urine creatine x urine volume/ serum creatine x 1440
CKD is defined as
either kidney damage or GFR < 60
leucoesterase
increases with nitrite in pyelonephritis
isothenuria
neither concentrated or diluted; in signs of UTI or chronic renal insufficiency
UAG
Na + K- Cl
tells you NH4 excretion
negative w/ chronic diarrhea
FENA <1%
normal and pre-renal
FENA > 2%
acute tubular necrosis
renal
u/p creatinine ratio
> 40 prerenal
<20 renal
Uosmolarity
> 500=prerenal
<350=renal
