| Core Tip |
The utility of urine biochemistry assessment for acute kidney injury (AKI) monitoring was proposed 50 years ago, being theoretically capable of defining AKI pathophysiol-ogy and distinguishing functional (“pre-renal”) and structural (“renal”) impairments. However, the actual usefulness of urine biochemistry was never confirmed due to vari-able and controversial results among studies. In this review, alternative considerations for when to assess urine electrolytes and how to interpret their values for renal function monitoring are proposed. |
