SUMMARY

1. BUN:Cr ratio is typically increased to > 20.
2. Urine is very concentrated with osmolality > 400, and often > 700.

3. Urine Na+ is < 20, indicating normal tubular function (and avid reabsorption of Na+ to increase glomerular pressure).

4. AKl with an FENa < 1% and a normal urine sediment +/- few granular or hyaline casts => prerenal azotemia.

5. Urine-analysis - bland U/A; occasionally granular and/or hyaline casts.
