HN=hypertensive nephrosclerosis; HKN=hypokalemic nephropathy; OU=obstructive uropathy; MISC=miscellaneous; AIN=acute interstitial nephritis; HC= hypercalcemia; PRA=prerenal azotemia; MM=multiple myeloma; RVD=renal vascular disease.

Figure 3 Miscellaneous diagnoses associated with a serum creatinine >2 mg/dL and a normal urinalysis. ARF ATN = acute renal failure with acute tubular necrosis; CRF non-HD = chronic renal failure without hemodialysis; ARF unspec = acute renal failure unspecified; Mg++ metabolism = magnesium metabolism; Phos metabolism = phosphorus metabolism.
