From the Research
Presence of Hematuria in Prerenal Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
- The provided studies do not directly address the presence of hematuria (blood in urine) in prerenal Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) 1, 2, 3, 4.
- However, one study mentions that urine microscopy with examination of the urine sediment examination provides useful diagnostic information about the histology of the kidneys, but it does not specifically discuss hematuria in prerenal AKI 1.
- Another study discusses the use of urinary biomarkers to detect mild renal tubular damage in prerenal AKI, but it does not mention hematuria 5.
- The studies primarily focus on the diagnosis, classification, and management of AKI, as well as the use of biomarkers to detect renal damage, but they do not provide direct evidence on the presence of hematuria in prerenal AKI 2, 3, 4.
Urinary Biomarkers in Prerenal AKI
- One study found that urinary biomarkers such as L-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), interleukin-18 (IL-18), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and albumin were modestly elevated in patients with prerenal AKI compared to those without AKI 5.
- This study suggests that these biomarkers can detect mild renal tubular damage in prerenal AKI, but it does not provide information on the presence of hematuria 5.
