Abstract
The absence of prior medical records presents a diagnostic challenge for physicians managing patients with renal failure in primary care. Elevated parathyroid hormone levels or echogenic contracted kidneys on ultrasound are known to point to a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The literature on the use of these tools to differentiate AKI from CKD is however, limited. The objective of this study is to assess the role of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) blood level and bedside ultrasound in differentiating acute kidney injury (AKI) from CKD.
