☐ Serum creatinine
- Gradual increase of 1 to 2 mg/dL per every 24 to
48 hr for acute renal
failure (ARF)
- Gradual increase over months to years for chronic
renal failure (CRF)
exceeding 4 mg/dL
■ Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
- 80 to 100 mg/dL within 1 week with ARF
- Gradual increase with elevated serum creatinine
over months to years for
CRF
- 180-200 mg/dL with (CRF)
■ Serum electrolytes
- Decreased sodium (dilutional) and calcium,
increased potassium,
phosphorus, and magnesium
■ Complete blood count (CBC)
- Decreased hemoglobin
What food should you increase -increased amounts of potassium-rich foods (e.g.,
when taking Lasix? bananas, prunes, raisins, and orange juice)
