In assessing for acute kidney injury (AKI), Harvey should look for the indicator of "too much nitrogen." Specifically, elevated levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine in the blood are common markers that indicate the kidneys are not filtering waste effectively, which can suggest that kidney function has declined suddenly.
