Calculating Renal Failure Index,RFI Calculator |
This RFI calculator determines the renal failure index value in patients who are suspect of acute kidney failure due to acute tubular necrosis. The renal failure index is obtained from measurements of urinary sodium, serum creatinine and urine creatinine. | |

The renal failure index The renal failure index is used to compare the sodium clearance with the creatinine clearance. It is one of several indices that help in |
|
distinguishing prerenal azotemia from oliguric acute renal
failure. The renal failure index equation: RFI= Na+(U)*Cr(S)/Cr(U) Where: RFI=The renal failure index(%) Na+(U)=Urine Sodium(mEq/L) Cr(S)=Serum creatinine(mg/dl) Cr(U)=Urine creatinine(mg/dl) A renal failure index greater than 1 is consistent with oliguric acute renal failure; an index less than 1 is consistent with prerenal Azotemia.
