Please keep this tab open if you want to refer to the patient information at any point in this case.

JD is a 44-year-old female who complains that lately she’s been feeling a burning pain while urinating, and the urine tends to look foamy. After further examination, you note the following:

Height: 5’2”
Weight: 179 lb
[tooltip=SCr][/tooltip]: 1.8mg/dL
BUN: 34 mg/dL
PMD: MI 6 months ago
Allergies: NKDA
Current medications: aspirin 81mg, lisinopril 20mg, metoprolol ER 25 mg

1. JD’s serum creatinine is high. Hypothetically speaking, this could be a sign of any of the following except:
a. Acute tubular necrosis
b. Glomerulonephritis
c. Muscle injury
d. All of the above could result in an increased SCr.
