“Turned out” is fine with “she had acute kidney failure”
With “has acute etc” I would tend to say “have turned out to be”

Hello! I hope someone can help me with my English grammar. I'm trying to say:

She has acute kidney failure and her blood tests turned out to be very bad.

Is this correct? Thank you!
