Introduction
Elevation of urea, creatinine, and uric acid are seen in renal failure. Ca+ is usually low but may be elevated due to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Electrolyte levels depend upon renal function, salt and water intake, and the use of diuretics. Na+ will be low if water intake exceeds excretion. K+ may rise because of acidosis & the use of antidiuretic drugs (spironolactone & triamterene). Alkaline phosphatase is marginally raised.
