A patient is diagnosed with a postrenal acute kidney injury. Which of the following assessment findings would support this diagnosis?
1. intake of NSAIDs for arthritis
2. vomiting with diarrhea for the last 6 days
3. heart failure diagnosis
4. large renal calculi in kidney and ureter
4
Rationale: Large renal calculi in the kidney and ureter are considered a mechanical cause for a postrenal acute kidney injury. The intake of NSAIDs for arthritis would contribute to an intrinsic cause for an acute kidney injury. Vomiting and diarrhea for the last 6 days and the diagnosis of heart failure are both considered prerenal causes for an acute kidney injury.
