Overview
Urine routine (DR) and urine culture should be done to look for any sign of urinary infection and serum creatinine and electrolytes should be done to check the kidney function.[1]
Laboratory Findings
Patients with horseshoe kidney may show following findings on laboratory tests.These include:
- Complete blood count (CBC):
- Elevated WBC count may indicate the presence of infection.
- Elevated serum creatinine and BUN:
- Suggestive of obstruction and an underlying kidney disease
- Urinalysis and cultures: It may show red blood cells and white blood cells indicating hematuria and pyuria.
