- Abstract
Urine microscopy is one of the most commonly used markers for diagnosis of acute kidney injury, but its performance hasn't been adequately studied in acute kidney injury secondary to sepsis. This paper reports the case of two patients with acute kidney injury secondary to sepsis in which fresh urine samples were obtained and urinary sediment was examined. We evaluated the urinary microscopic score on the basis of cast and renal tubular epithelial cells. Measurements of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and NGAL were performed. A high urinary microscopic sediment score had a good correlation with other markers of renal dysfunction; thus, we consider that evaluation of urine microscopic sediment score in acute kidney injury secondary to sepsis is a valuable tool.
