Explanation:
1. Platelet count is drawn when a bleeding disorder is suspected.
2. BUN is a serum laboratory test for kidney function. Obstructive uropathy is a structural or functional abnormality of the urinary system that interferes with urine flow and results in urine backflow into the kidneys; therefore, the BUN will be elevated.
3. PTT is drawn when a bleeding disorder is suspected.
4. A blood culture is done when an infectious process is suspected.
5. Creatinine is a serum laboratory test for kidney function. Obstructive uropathy is a structural or functional abnormality of the urinary system that interferes with urine flow and results in urine backflow into the kidneys; therefore, the creatinine will be elevated.
