How is Acute Renal Failure diagnosed?

Acute Renal Failure is usually diagnosed using blood and urine tests to monitor kidney function. Tests may include blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, complete blood count (CBC), and a urinalysis.


A chemistry screen may be used to look for abnormalities in electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, and calcium.
