Older patient with BPH with signs of an AKI (creatinine increase of at least 0.3) who also has suprapubic distention/tenderness, consistent with post-renal AKI in setting of urinary retention
Diabetic nephropathy can lead to chronic kidney disease over time, but it wouldnโt develop as quickly as seen in this patient
danielle359xIn case anyone didn't know, the "generalized itching" is uremic pruritis 2/2 kidney failure. This threw me off for a second since my mind automatically jumped to elevated bili+12
tinylilronYou can also do the BUN/Creatinine ratio to rule out a Pre-renal etiology which isn't an answer choice (lol)... his most recent BUN/Creatinine ratio is 13.88 which is <15:1 so its less likely to be Prerenal AKI+1
Maybe someone can help me out here. Is the postrenal obstruction not likely due to acute prostatitis in this case?
