    A six-year old with Glomerulonephritis has had blood and urine samples sent to the laboratory. Which of the following results are expected findings?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Decreased H & H and platelet count are not typical findings in glomerulonephritis. B. Decreased BUN is not expected; BUN typically increases due to impaired kidney function. C. Decreased Sed Rate is not expected; Sed Rate may increase due to inflammation. D. Elevated BUN and Creatinine indicate impaired kidney function. Urine specific gravity of 1.030 indicates concentrated urine, and a positive ASO titer suggests a recent streptococcal infection, which is associated with glomerulonephritis.
