Screening
Screening
Several laboratory tests are useful for screening of acute kidney injury among patients with risk factors as following:
- BUN
- Creatinine
- Urine analysis
Electronic health record-based predictive models for acute kidney injury screening among pediatric inpatients, children aged 28 days through 21 years, with sufficient serum creatinine measurements are assessed by followings:[1][2]
- Age
- Medication exposures
- Platelet count
- Red blood cell distribution width
- Serum phosphorus
- Serum transaminases
- Hypotension (in ICU patients only)
- PH (in ICU patients only)
