Calculation of Fractional Sodium Excretion
Formulas Used: Fractional Excretion of Na ( FENa) in %=[ (urine Na) / (serum Na) ] x 100 / [ (urine Cr) / (serum Cr) ] To accurately interpret FENa, patients should not have recently received diuretics. FENa is greater than 1% and usually greater than 3% with acute tubular necrosis and severe obstruction of the urinary drainage of both kidneys. It is generally less than 1% in patients with acute glomerulonephritis, hepatorenal syndrome, and states of prerenal azotemia such as congestive heart failure or dehydration.
