Overview

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for acute tubular necrosis.

Screening

  • Screening for acute tubular necrosis is usually not recommended for asymptomatic individuals.
  • Screening is usually recommended for patients who are at high risk including
    • Patients with recent abdominal and cardiac surgery
    • Severe volume depletion
    • Hemorrhagic shock
    • Rhabdomyolysis
    • Sepsis
    • Severe pancreatitis
    • Comorbid conditions (eg, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, atherosclerosis)
  • Screening evaluation includes measurement of:[1][2]
    • Serum creatinine
    • Volume of urine
    • Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
    • Urine sediment and microscopy
    • Urine electrolytes
    • Serum electrolytes
