Elevated BUN,creatinine,and serum potassium levels and low blood pH are signs of renal failure.Cystitis is an infection of the bladder and would not result in abnormal renal function.Renal calculi typically produce blood in the urine but do not lead to marked renal dysfunction and failure.Enuresis is involuntary urination,particularly common in children,and does not produce renal dysfunction.The cause of enuresis is often emotional,developmental,or trauma related.
