acute renal failure in 10 week old pup

Vomiting and diarrhea, parvo negative, mild leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia, marked renal azotemia (SpG 1.012, BUN >120, creat 8.5), Ca and Phos>15, T bili 8, ALP > 993, full UA pending.  Mild to moderate amount of anechoic effusion.  Bright kidneys.  Suspecting toxin or Lepto infection as top rule outs (no prior lepto vaccination). Please comment on renal dysplasia possibility.  Also saw what looks like splenic tissue in a nodule form off the body – thoughts?
