Overview
There are no other diagnostic studies associated with [disease name].
OR
[Diagnostic study] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
Other diagnostic studies for [disease name] include [diagnostic study 1], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3], and [diagnostic study 2], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Renal biopsy: Finding of acute tubular necrosis on renal biopsy may include:[1]
- Tubular dilatation and swollen tubular cells
- Loss of tubular cells or the denuded tubules
- Thinning of the tubular epithelium
- Loss of the cell brush border
- Edema of the interstitium
- Presence of cellular casts
- Novel biomarkers: Evaluation of various urinary and serum biomarkers may be helpful in patients with acute tubular necrosis to identify renal tubular injury at very early stage.
