AB  - Any  patient  with  renal  disease  can  present  either  as  an  outpatient  or  inpatient  consultation.  Some  patients  may  be  referred  because  of  abnormal  urinary  findings,  such  as  hematuria  or  proteinuria,  or  abnormal  laboratory  work  such  as  an  elevated  serum  creatinine,  which  may  have  been  incidentally  discovered  during  routine  clinical  evaluation  or  as  part  of  initial  employment  requirements.  Depending  on  the  stage  of  renal  disease,  patients  can  present  with  mild  edema,  generalized  pruritus,  or  more  advanced  signs  and  symptoms  of  uremia,  such  as  decreased  appetite,  weight  loss,  dysgeusia,  pruritus,  and  change  in  mental  status.  In  general,  the  symptoms  and  signs  of  patients  presenting  with  renal  disease  are  nonspecific  (Table  1–1)  and  some  patients  may  present  only  with  an  elevation  in  serum  creatinine.
