Licurse Score for Renal Ultrasound: 0 — Low risk, 0 to 2. Interpretation: Low risk, 0 to 2 What to do: In the validation cohort, 4 of 94 patients in this band had hydronephrosis (4%). A total of 2 stays here. Inputs: History of hydronephrosis: false; Race category other than Black: false; History of recurrent urinary tract infection: false; Diagnosis consistent with possible obstruction: false; No exposure to the named nephrotoxic agents: false; No congestive heart failure: false; No prerenal acute kidney injury: false Source: Licurse A et al. Renal ultrasonography in the evaluation of acute kidney injury: developing a risk stratification framework. Arch Intern Med. DOI: 10.1001/archinternmed.2010.419. PMID: 21098348. Points, as reprinted with the Licurse framework: history of hydronephrosis 4; race other than Black 1; recurrent urinary tract infection 1; a diagnosis consistent with obstruction 1; no exposure to the named inpatient nephrotoxic agents 1; no congestive heart failure 1; no prerenal acute kidney injury 1. High risk is 4 or more, medium risk is exactly 3, and low risk is 2 or less. (2010)
