acute kidney injury (aki)

How is AKI Diagnosed?

Diagnosis of AKI involves a combination of clinical evaluation and laboratory tests. Key diagnostic tools include:
- Blood Tests: Elevated levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are indicators of impaired kidney function.
- Urine Tests: Urinalysis can reveal abnormalities such as proteinuria, hematuria, or the presence of casts.
- Imaging: Ultrasound or CT scans can help identify obstructions or structural abnormalities in the kidneys.
