Azotemia is seen in acute renal failure.
Oliguria is also seen in acute renal failure.It is unusual in chronic renal failure.
Anemia is rare in the initial period of ARF.
Small kidneys are most consistent with CRF, whereas Normal to large sizes can be seen with both.

Good question.
I think you are right for the first doubt becaue azotemia actually occurs in both actue and chronic renal failure; after months to years progressive azotemia, uremia occurs as end-stage sign.
However, in the beginning even a long time before end-stage disease in chronic failure, GFR can be normal; and in the stage 1, can even have higher GFR; oliguria only happen at far-advanced stage.
Comments welcomed.
