Laboratory Findings
Patients with hydronephrosis may show following findings on laboratory tests. These include:[1]
- Complete blood count (CBC):
- Elevated WBC count may indicate the presence of infection.
- Anemia
- Elevated serum creatinine
- Elevated BUN
- Elevated serum potassium levels (hyperkalemia)
- Urinalysis: It may show red blood cells and white blood cells indicating hematuria and pyuria.
- Hematuria is commonly caused by stones or due to tumors.
- Pyuria indicates evidence of infection.
