Azotemia

A 68-year-old man is admitted to the intensive care unit after open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The patient has received 4 units of packed red blood cells during the surgery. During the first 24 hours following the procedure, he has only passed 200 mL of urine. He has congestive heart failure and hypertension. Current medications include atenolol, enalapril, and spironolactone. He appears ill. His temperature is 37.1°C (98.8°F), pulse is 110/min, respirations are 18/min, and blood pressure is 110/78 mm Hg. Examination shows dry mucous membranes and flat neck veins. The remainder of the examination shows no abnormalities. Laboratory studies show a serum creatinine level of 2.0 mg/dL and a BUN of 48 mg/dL. His serum creatinine and BUN on admission were 1.2 mg/dL and 18 mg/dL, respectively. Further evaluation of this patient is most likely to reveal which of the following findings? BUN/serum creatinine ratio 25:1 Proteinuria Decreased urine osmolality Hematuria RBC casts

BUN/serum creatinine ratio 25:1 (Patients with prerenal (AAA=hypovolemic) azotemia typically present with a decreased urine sodium concentration (< 20 mmol/L) and a BUN/serum creatinine ratio > 20:1. This type of AKI is caused by a lack of fluids (e.g., due to decreased perioperative oral intake and intraoperative blood loss) and subsequently reduced renal perfusion, rather than direct damage to the nephrons. The kidneys physiologically respond by reabsorbing large amounts of sodium, which is then followed by water. As a result, the excreted urine contains low amounts of sodium and is concentrated; only a small amount of water is lost.)
