In children with AKI, urinalysis and kidney/ bladder ultrasound are the usual initial tests to guide diagnosis. As in our case, the bland urinary sediment, absence of hematuria and proteinuria, directed us towards a tubulointerstitial disorder, rather than glomerulonephritis. Ultrasound excluded obstruction and showed enlarged kidneys, which guided us to perform a kidney biopsy when the patient did not improve after discontinuation of the presumed offending agent (ibuprofen) and hydration. Additional testing should be guided based on the patient’s history and examination findings. The presence of body aches, low-grade fever, and tenderness over the left elbow prompted further testing including CBC with Differential, blood culture, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), uric acid (UA), and creatine kinase (CK).
