noted a fever last night which was measured as high as
101.6, which did return despite Tylenol. Per the staff at her
rehabilitation hospital, there has been significantly more
swelling and erythema around the incision site. Her labs
were also notable for an elevated wbc and decreased hct. Radiology showed No acute cardiopulmonary process. DX THORACIC AND LUMBAR SPINES showed The most superior aspect of the thoracic spinal fusion hardware appears to be
positioned more posteriorly than on in the intraoperative radiographs,
potentially due to hardware migration. Please see the thoracic CT report for
more details. CT T-SPINE W/O CONTRAST showed 1. Limited evaluation due to patient positioning, absence of IV contrast and
beam hardening artifact.
2. Subcutaneous emphysema at T1-2 is nonspecific, and may be postsurgical in
nature. However emphysematous changes secondary to infection cannot be
excluded on the basis of this examination. Recommend clinical correlation.
3. Within limits of examination, no definite CT evidence of osteomyelitis or
discitis identified in thoracic spine. If additional evaluation is warranted a
contrast enhanced study may be helpful, however this will be limited in
evaluation due to beam hardening artifact.
4. At T1 through T4 posterior spinal rods and hooks are suggested to being
within bone graft material approximately 1.5 -2 cm posterior to the lamina.
Recommend clinical correlation and correlation with surgical history for
evaluation of hardware orientation.

decortication while the patient is having a cyst rupture. Fever
downtrended by second day of admission. Continued home
oxycontin. Given IV dilaudid while vomiting, changed to PO by
second day of admission. Also gave Tylenol, though patient
reported that this had no effect. Patient reported being back to
her baseline chronic level of abdominal pain. Her home oxycontin
is for her neck pain. She requested dilaudid on discharge. I
discussed with her that she needs an overall pain management
plan with her outpatient providers and dilaudid is not a good
long term option, especially now that she is back to her

Pt was unable to make his cognitive neurology evaluation today
and refused to get his B12 injection. ___ NP advised his
daughter-in-law to bring pt to ED for further workup.
Pt denies any pain pain. New onset urinary incontinence and
possible fecal incontinence x2 days per daughter-in-law. No
known falls and no fevers. History otherwise limited as pt is
only oriented to person.
In the ED initial vitals were: 98.4, 66, 176/54, 16, 98%
- Labs were significant for hgb 13.9 (MCV 101) and relatively
unremarkable chem-7. Urine and serum tox screens negative.
- Patient was given nothing.
On the floor, an interview is conducted with the aid of a
___ interpreter. Pt is able to state his name. He is unsure
where he is or what the date is. He denies any pain, including
back and abdominal pain. He states he has not had any trouble
with his bladder however he is noted to be incontinent. He does
not know what medications he takes.
Review of Systems:

neurosyphilis (RPR negative, no other signs of tertiary
syphilis), and B12 deficiency (had been refusing shots as
outpatient but B12 within normal limits, no evidence of
neuropathy, on high dose oral cobalamin). MRI/CT Brain showed
chronic small vessel disease without acute disease process
making vascular dementia more likely. Epilepsy/post-ictal state
and meningeal process were considered but felt to be unlikely
given lack of clinical signs/symptoms and stable clinical and
mental status. Throughout his time, patient remained oriented
to person and hospital only and never knew date. He was given
thiamine/folate/B12 supplementation. Physical Therapy
recommended ___ rehab and he will see outpatient cognitive
neurology to continue workup of his delirium.

ACTIVE ISSUES
# Atrial flutter: Patient with PMH of paroxysmal afib, is
admitted with atrial flutter with a RVR of 114. Patient was
given a loading dose of digoxin 0.125 mg PO/NG Q6H (2 Doses),
and was then mantained on digoxin 0.0625mg PO QD and metoprolol
tartrate 25mg PO Q6H. Patient's HR around ___ with
medication, asymptomatic. Will be kept on that dose of digoxin,
and will receive metoprolol succinate 100mg QD. Has indication
for anticoagulation, is receiving apixaban 2.5 mg PO/NG BID.
# Acute on chronic sCHF: Patient with PMH of ischemic
cardiomyopathy with an LVEF 40%. At admission the PE was
suggestive of mild fluid overload (JVP elevated to jaw,
billateral crackles and +1 edema in BLE). However, due to
constrictive pericarditis, diuresis was managed with caution. He
received lasix IV bolus of 20 mg and was then transitioned back
to home dose of furosemide 20mg PO QD. His discharge weight is
68kg (down from 70.5 at admission).
# Metabolic acidosis high anion gap/ Lactic acidosis: At
admission lactate was 4.3 and patient had a high anion gap that
peaked at 28. The lactic acidosis was attributed to
hypoperfusion and/or metformin overdose. The patient has shown
slow downtrend throughout hospitalization. Last lactate= 3.2.
# ___: Patient admitted with Cr: 1.6. (Baseline ___. Probably
secondary to hypoperfusion. Peaked at 1.8. At discharge 1.4.
# Acute liver failure: There was evidence of transaminitis since
admission, with ALT 374 AST 377. There was also an increase in
INR up to 2.9 and the patient was not oriented (possible grade I
hepatic encephalitis). The lab values downtrended slowly with
medications and patient's mental status improved.
# UTI: Urine culture was positive for PROTEUS MIRABILIS
>100,000 ORGANISMS/ML. The patient did not report any symptoms.
He received ceftriaxone 1g Q24H for 5 days and will be sent home
with cefpodoxime 100 mg Q12h for 2 days.
# Disposition: On ___, the patient reported to the team that
he adamantly wished to be discharged home. His providers had
been working on getting rehab placement, and occupational
therapy had recommended either home with 24-hour supervision or
rehab placement. Given the patient's insistence, the risks and
benefits of going home without adequately supervision were
explained to his daughter, ___. Risks included
potentially life threatening falls and his impaired ability to
call for help appropriately. Attempts were made to discuss the
patient's care with the patient, but his grandson, who was by
the bedside, was incredibly rude to the care team and
particularly to the ___ interpreter; he refused to step out
of the patient's room when asked.
CHRONIC ISSUES
# CAD: Evidence of CAD on past stress test. No current CP.
Patient was kept on Atorvastatin 20 mg PO/NG QPM
# Type II DM: had been receiving metformin at home. HPI
suggested metformin toxicity, so patient was kept on an insulin
sliding scale. Fingersticks in 150s-200s. Patient will be
discharged without metformin, shoulf F/U diabetes treatment with
PCP. A1C 8.0%

acute respiratory failure and chest x-ray concerning for
bilateral infiltrates.
# altered mental status, progressive dementia: He was initially
intubated in ED for airway protection in the setting of altered
mental status with mixed picture of hypercarbic and hypoxic
respiratory failure. Patient's mental status continued to
improve after being called out of ICU, although he remained
altered. Per family, patient was at baseline. Dysarthric,
somewhat appropriate in responses, but not always intelligible.
Notably, pt with progressive dementia over past year.
Moderate-to-severe per FAST testing w/ PCP. Pt has HTN, smoking
hx, but normal lipid panel; possible component of vascular
dementia. Pt additionally found to have acute on chronic SDH
which could be responsible for, at least in part, his altered
state; no focal findings on neuro exam. Neurosurgery consulted;
did not feel SDHs were responsible for current presentation.
Patient was continued on home donepezil. Home melatonin was
held.
# aspiration PNA: concern given CXR opacities and acute
respiratory distress. Likely in setting of dementia. No
foreign body on CXR. Likely etiology of mixed hypercarbic and
hypoxic respiratory failure esp in setting of COPD. Could also
be CAP/aspiration given polymicrobial sputum specimen; S/S of
sputum unable to be performed given polymicrobial nature of
infxn. Legionella, MRSA, rapid viral panel negative. S/S
consulted in ICU who made patient strict NPO. Eventually was
reevaluated with video and patient was advanced to pureed/honey
diet. In reagrds to antibiotics, patient received Vanc/cefepime
(___), flagyl ___, then switched to monotherapy
with unasyn ___.
# hypoxia: The most likely cause for his respiratory failure was
an aspiration event given history of gargling and chocking in
the context of bilateral infiltrates and a history of
moderate-severe dementia. He was treated with
Vancomycin/Cefepime/Azithromycin. Emphysematous changes were
noted on CT C-spine and he was also treated with solumedrol for
a 5 day COPD exacerbation course. TTE was done which
demonstrated severe global left ventricular systolic dysfunction
(EF 20%) and regional RV systolic dysfunction. His respiratory
status improved and he was extubated on ___ prior to callout

(z-pak) and solumedrol (___) followed by a 4 day pred burst.
Consider PFTs/pulm f/u as outpatient.
# h/o subdural hemorrhage: For his moderate-severe dementia with
a suspected component of vascular dementia he underwent NCHCT on
admission which was negative for ICH or acute process, although
positive for likely chronic frontoparietal SDH. He did not have
a reported history of trauma or falls. Neurosurgery was
consulted and recommended no acute surgical intervention and
followed with repeat NCHCT in 6 weeks as an outpatient for
monitoring. His neurology exam was non focal. Home ASA was
continued and SQ heparin was started. He underwent speech and
swallow evaluation for aspiration.
# global systolic dysfunction: New, identified on echo.

#NASH cirrhosis ___ B/C)
#Hepatic hydrothorax
The patient has a history of NASH cirrhosis ___ B/C),
currently on the transplant list and followed by Dr. ___ as
an outpatient. Her cirrhosis has been complicated by
encephalopathy, esophageal varices (status post bleed several
years ago), recurrent hepatic hydrothorax, hyponatremia on
tolvaptan and HCC. For this admission, she presented with
shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, minimal ascites on
exam, found to have a large right pleural effusion on CXR,
concerning for hepatic hydrothorax. Her recurrent hydrothorax on
presentation occurred the setting of her spironolactone being
decreased from 100 mg daily to 25 mg daily secondary to
hyponatremia. While in the ED, the patient had a pigtail
placement with drainage of 1L of fluid with symptomatic
improvement. At this time her chest tube was clamped. On
admission, the patient had a MELD score of 14 and was without
any localizing signs of infection. The chest tube was removed on
___ and the patient remained stable with good O2 saturation on
room air. Her pleural fluid studies were consistent with a
pseudoexudate, most likely hepatic hydrothorax. Her home
diuretics were initially held due to creatinine increase to 1.3
from baseline of 1.0. She was given albumin 75g x2 and 25g x1.
As her creatinine returned to baseline levels, Lasix ___ IV
was started as diuretic therapy to treat her continuing
hydrothorax. An abdominal ultrasound was also obtained which
showed no lower abdominal ascites. The patient was evaluated by
interventional radiology for TIPS placement given her continued
recurrences of hydrothorax on diuretic therapy. The
interventional radiology team performed the TIPS procedure and a
right thoracentesis (draining 4 L) on ___. Following TIPS,
there was concern for ischemic hepatitis given significant
elevation in LFTs and up-trending INR, however these values
stabilized and downtrended after several days. She spiked a
fever to 100.7 F post TIPS with a mild leukocytosis, was
pan-cultured (blood cultures no growth, and no growth in urine
or sputum culture), but remained afebrile since with a normal
WBC. Following TIPS and thoracentesis, she also reported some
hemoptysis, thought to be due to epistaxis, though this
resolved. During her hospitalization, frequent CXRs were
obtained to monitor recurrence of her right hepatic hydrothorax.
Prior to discharge, the most recent CXR showed stable residual
hydrothorax. The patient was continued on rifaximin, ursodiol,
vitamin B12, and lactulose during hospitalization. On discharge
she was breathing well on RA and MELD score was 19.
# Pancytopenia
On admission, the patient had evidence of pancytopenia (WBC 2.2,
Hgb 10.8, plt 22) that was stable from prior admission. Her
pancytopenia has been persistent since her first labs recorded
in the ___ system on ___. She is followed by a
hematologist in ___, Dr. ___
(___). Per her hematologist, the patient's pancytopenia
is most likely due to her liver disease though she had at one
point considered an autoimmune process. A bone marrow biopsy was
preformed by her hematologist on ___, notable for erythroid
hyperplasia, normal number of megakaryocytes, suggesting
hypersplenism as main etiology of her cytopenia. There was no
evidence of lymphoma, MDS, or MPD (BM report from OSH placed in
chart). We trended her CBC, which showed improvement
#Coagulopathy
INR was 1.4 on admission, stable from prior admission. The
patient's coagulopathy was thought to be due to underlying liver
disease. INR remained stable around 1.4-1.7 until after the
TIPS, when it increased to 2.3 likely in the setting of lier
ischemia. However, the INR downtrended to 1.9 on discharge. </s> |

PATIENT SUMMARY
===================
___ with severe CAD (CTO mid-LCx since ___, repeated PCI to RCA

periventricular subcortical infarct post cath ___, HTN, HLD,
AF not on anticoagulation, ESRD on HD
MWF, who presents with a several-day history of nausea and
vomiting associated with food intake. Of note, he had been just
admitted to Cardiology for the same presentation. At that time,
the etiology of his nausea/vomiting was unclear. During this
admission, GI was consulted. CT A/P was obtained, which did not
show evidence of gastric outlet obstruction or other significant
abnormality. The patient was able to tolerate PO intake with PRN
antiemetic zofran. He was discharged home with plan for
outpatient GI follow up and EGD.
===================
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
===================
[] The patient will need outpatient GI follow up with EGD for
workup of his anorexia and nausea/vomiting. This is being
arranged through GI office.
[] Cardiology recommended a stress test, ideally with exercise
MIBI, although most likely will be a pharmacological stress
(patient reports he is unable to exercise).
===================
ACUTE ISSUES
===================
#Anorexia
#Nausea, vomiting
Patient presented with a 2-month history of anorexia and a
several-day history of nausea/vomiting that occurs immediately
after eating. Denies any abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematemesis,
dysphagia, or early satiety. He stated that certain foods, e.g.
oatmeal and cornmeal, trigger this, while he is able to tolerate
other foods, including eggs and bagels. He endorsed a 20-lbs
weight loss during the past two months, though ___ records do
not show a significant weight change. The etiology remains
unclear. GI was consulted. CT A/P did not show evidence of
gastric outlet obstruction though on review with Radiology, did
show significant calcifications of his celiac artery and SMA.
However, chronic mesenteric ischemia was felt to be unlikely
given the lack of pain. Other differential for his presentation
includes persistent digoxin effect; worsening metaplastic
changes of esophagus (though no dysphagia), worsening PUD
(though no abdominal pain); worsening ___
ulcers vs. progressive intrusion of hiatal hernia. By ___, the
patient was able to tolerate multiple meals without emesis, and
as such it was felt to be reasonable to discharge the patient
home with outpatient gastroenterology follow-up and EGD. He was
also provided with PO Zofran 4 mg q8H PRN nausea. QTc 360.
# Coronary artery disease
# Elevated troponin to 0.15, which downtrended to 0.14. EKG
without acute ischemic changes; changes were thought to be c/w
dignoxin. He did not have any chest pain this admission.
Cardiology recommended stress testing with exercise v. pharm
mibi.

============================
___ with HTN, CKD, BPH, dementia with multiple recent falls who
presnted with right acetabular fracture in the setting of a
fall, mangaging non-operatively, hospitalization complicated by
acute on chronic kidney injury.
# Right Acetabular Fracture: Traumatic in setting of recurrent
falls and known osteoporosis. Seen by orthopaedics who feel that
fracture can be managed non-operatively. Specifically they feel
that joint is currently set in a way as to facilitate healing
with touch down weight bearing status on the Right Lower
extremity and that surgical intervention would not result is a
shorter duration of recovery or greater short term mobility.
# Recurrent Falls/Dementia: Long standing history of falls.
Thought to be related to underlying dementia and deconditioning.
Evaluated by Neurology in the past with concern for NPH though
no formal diangosis. Infectious workup negative during admission
# Acute on Chronic Kidney Injury: Creatinine on admission 2.3
and has been stable since. Baseline creatinine 1.8. CK not
signficantly elevated. No hydronephrosis seen on renal US. FeNa
2.5% suggestive of renal sodium wasting and likely ATN.
Creatinine downtrending on discharge.
# Hypertension: On lisinopril, labetolol, and amlodipine at
home, but lisinopril was held on admission in setting of ___. In
absence of lisinopril, he was noted to be more hypertensive
especially in the mornings that was thought be exacerbated by
pain and anxiety. During admission, labetalol was from 200mg BID
to ___ TID and amlodipine increased from 2.5mg to 5mg daily
with goal BP <150/90. Restart lisinopril as an outpatient

# Troponinemia: Patient has reported history of CAD, though
history unclear. CK initially elevated in setting of fall with
unclear duration of immobility, CK-MB index was normal. The
patient was asymptomatic without chest pain or dyspnea, EKG with
LBBB block but no Sgarbossa criteria thus thought not to reflect
active ischemia. Troponin continued to elevate in the absence of
ischemia thought to reflect decreased renal clearance with low
grade troponin leak from hypertension. He was continued on
aspirin.
CHRONIC ISSUES:
# BPH: Followed by Dr. ___ Urology. Continue tamsulosin and
recently started finasteride.
# Hypothyroidism: TSH was elevated in acute illness but free T4
normal. Was continued on levothyroxine.

sweats and chills accompanied by RUL infiltrate on CXR.
# Dyspnea: Patient's dyspnea was felt to be secondary to an
upper respiratory URI with associated bronchospasm, which was
relieved with Albuterol. Although an infiltrate was noted on
CXR, this was likely an old pneumonia for which patient was
already treated. In addition, she was afebrile without
leukocytosis or hypoxia during entire hospitalization, making an
acute process less likely, especially she had already been
treated with a full antibiotic course. There was initial
suspicion for active tuberculosis with fever and night sweats,
but this was felt to be clinically unlikely based on history,
physical and radiographic appearance of the infiltrate. Due to
risk factors for acquiring latent TB, a ppd was planted and
returned negative, which also reinforced low clinical concern
for tuberculosis. Patient was discharged with prescription for
albuterol. She should have further evaluation for suspected
reactive airway disease vs. asthma with outpt PFTs. She should
also have repeat CXR in ___ weeks to assess for interval
resolution of RUL infiltrate. If infiltrate persists or
symptoms worsen, would recommend further evaluation with CT
chest and consideration of outpt Pulmonary evaluation.

interstitial fibrosis, HIV on HAART, COPD on home O2 2L NC
presenting today with increasing SOB and L foot swelling. Radiology showed Stable chest radiograph. No new focal lung consolidation. Radiology showed 1. Evaluation of the distal subsegmental pulmonary arterial branches supplying
the bilateral lower lobes due to respiratory motion artifact. Otherwise, no
evidence of pulmonary embolism. No acute aortic syndrome.
2. Emphysema dependent reticular opacities at the right lung base, potentially
atelectasis. Given chronicity, these could represent sequelae of aspiration
or infection in the appropriate clinical setting.
3. Moderate to severe luminal narrowing of the proximal left subclavian artery
secondary to noncalcified atherosclerotic plaque.

presented with HCAP and recurrent C. diff infection. He
continued to receive radiation while inpatient. For his HCAP he
was treated with a 7d course of antibiotics (cefepime,
transitioned to augmentin). His C. diff was treated with PO
vancomycin and PO flagyl. He was also having right sided chest
wall pain, associated with swallowing. Rad-onc felt this was
most likely a side effect of his radiation. This was managed
with Oxycodone and a lidocaine patch. ___ also worked with him
while he was here and felt he was strong enough to go home and
did not require ___ rehab. He developed neutropenia during
his hospitalization, likely due to recent chemotherapy. He was
treated with neupogen with normalization of his white blood cell
count.
He developed volume overload while in the hospital, as his home
torsemide was held due to his C. Diff infection. He was treated
with IV Lasix and then transitioned back to his home torsemide.
He developed a mild ___ so his torsemide dose was decreased to
20mg. With this dose, his Cr returned to baseline. Please
continue to assess his volume status and adjust the dose of
torsemide as an outpatient.
Pt's HIV markers were checked as inpatient. His Viral load was
63 copies/mL. His CD4 count was low (64) but his percentage was
normal (32%) so the low CD4 count likely was due to his
leukopenia rather than his HIV burden, so he does not need PCP
___. His CD4 count should be rechecked at a follow-up
appointment once his white count has normalized.
#Acute on chronic respiratory failure secondary to HCAP.
The patient has SCC of the lung and is on 2L NC at home, however
he developed an increasing oxygen requirement and cough. CTA
chest on ___ showed opacities in R lung base that "could
represent pneumonia in the right clinical setting". Because the
patient had an increased O2 requirement, a worsening cough, and
was just discharged from the hospital on ___, he was treated
for HCAP. He was initially started on cefepime, and completed
his 7d course with augmentin. His O2 requirement improved, and
he was actually able to be on room air at times with O2 sat >
93%. He went home on oxygen as he was still intermittently
requiring up to 2L.
#Recurrent C. diff.
The patient had recurrent C. diff which was treated initially
with PO vanc. It was not improving, likely because he was being
treated for HCAP at the same time, so he was started on IV
flagyl. Prior to discharge his diarrhea had decreased in
frequency but was still more than his baseline. Because he has
had recurrent episodes of C. diff, he was set up with an
outpatient appointment with ID to discuss the possibility of
fecal transplant. He was discharged on PO vanc and PO flagyl to
complete a full 14d course from the day he finished the
augmentin for his HCAP.
#Odynophagia.
The patient was complaining of R sided chest wall pain
associated with swallowing. He had a recent endoscopy which
showed esophagitis, which is consistent with his long standing
GERD treated with ranitidine; however, this is not consistent
with R sided chest pain. He had no evidence of oral thrush on
exam; however, he could have had esophageal thrush so he was
treated empirically with nystatin with no improvement in his
symptoms. Rad/onc felt that even though his radiation was
directed at his L chest, this pain could be a side effect of the
radiation. He was treated with oxycodone 15mg PRN and a
lidocaine patch with some improvement of his symptoms. He was
discharged home on this regimen.
#Neutropenia.
Attributed to the ___ he got on ___ and his radiation
therapy. He was given neupogen, which was stopped when his ___
recovered.
#Pitting sacral and lower extremity edema.
The patient's home torsemide was held because he was having >10
loose bowel movements/day from his C.diff infection. He
developed pitting sacral and lower extremity edema. He was
diuresed with IV Lasix and wore TEDS. Prior to discharge he was
restarted on his home torsemide 40mg, but was feeling
lightheaded and had SBP <100. For that reason he was discharged
on half his home dose (Torsemide 20mg).
#HIV.
Pt's HIV markers were checked as inpatient. His Viral load was
63 copies/mL. His CD4 count was low (64) but his percentage was
normal (32%) so the low CD4 count likely was due to his
leukopenia rather than his HIV burden, so he does not need PCP
___. He was continued on his home HIV regimen of
Darunivr, Truvada, Ritonavir.
#Stage II lung squamous cell carcinoma.

# Pelvic Abscess with enterovesicular fistula: s/p drain
placement Currently draining purulent material. Cultures with
polymicrobial infection as well as ___ albicans growing from
abscess. Per surgery, no colectomy during this hospitalization,
will need to follow up as outpatient. Her Foley continued to
drain pus and given the fistula between the abscess and the dome
of the bladder urology was consulted and they felt that the
Foley needed to stay in long term and that with the foley in
place and the pigtail drain, the fistulous tract should resolve
on its own. Given her pelvic abscess, PD was contraindicated.
An HD line was tunelled in the patient's right chest wall and
PICC line was placed on the right as well. The patient went for
surgical removal of her PD catheter and the surgical sites were
healing well at the time of discharge. For antiobiotics of her
infection, she was placed on meropenem and fluconazole. She was
also kept on PO flagyl for her c. diff and she will need to
continue the flagyl for 14 days after the last dose of her other
abx. She will have follow up with ID, Urology, Colorectal
surgery for further management of her abscess. The patient was
discharged home with her sister caring for her.
# ESRD on Dialysis: Ms. ___ was on PD on arrival, but given
her abscess PD was held. She was going to need long term
management of this abscess and so an HD line was placed and she
was started on Hemodialysis. PPD was negative and hep
serologies were sent. She tolerated HD well. PD catheter was
removed and she tolerated the procedure well without
complications. In addition, the renal team was following her
and we started sevelamer 800mg PO TID w/ meals. She otherwise
did very well from a renal standpoint. As changes in the
management of her Dialysis evolved, I constantly updated her
outpatient nephrologist so that he was up to date on the plan
upon discharge. In addition, we started vein preservation on
the LUE and mapping for possible AV fistula vs. graft was done
prior to discharge.
# RUE swelling: RUE swelling was noticed while she was in the OR
having her PD catheter removed. It was initially thought to be
___ blood pressure cuff on that arm, but it did not resolve on
arrival to the floor. She had no erythema or pain in the arm,
but given she had a PICC line and HD line on the right she was
sent for RUE dopplers that was negative for DVT. Unclear why
she was having edema and it will need to be followed in the
outpatient setting.
# UTI: Patient has a history of a fairly sensitive E. Coli in
the past, but required treatment with meropenam because of
allergies. Mixed flora in urine likely realted to fistula. See
abx and management of abscess and fistula as above.
# Guiaic Positive Stool: Patient is reported as having guiaic
positive brown stool. Etiologies include hemmorhoids, which the
patient has a known history of, as well as diverticulitis. HCT
is currently at baseline with the patient remaining
hemodynamically stable. Hct was stable throughout most of her
hospital stay.
# Hyponatremia: Patient appears to be euvolemic, could be
secondary to SIADH. Resovled without significant intervention.
# Macrocytic Anemia: At baseline. Iron studies in ___
suggest ACI.
# C. Diff: Patient was 1 day short of completing an antibiotic
course for c. dif. will continue flagyl for now given on other

carcinoma who presented with shortness of breath and overall
weakness, unclear etiology.
#. Fatigue/failure to thrive: Patient presented with worsening
failure to thrive and fatigue over past months. Etiology
unclear, however likely multifactorial secondary to
chemotherapy, deconditioning and hypothyroidism. It is not
clear this is related to progression of disease as his last CT
scan showed improvement in metastatic RCC. TSH elevated with
normal T4 and low T3 so patient started on levothyroxine 12.5 mg
daily. B12 was low on admission so patient was given IM
repletion while here and started on PO supplement on discharge.
Cortisol was normal. Patient was seen by palliative care and
nutrition. Nutrition recommended supplements. Dexamethasone 2 mg
daily was started per palliative care recommendations. An MRI
brain was done to rule out metastatic disease and this was
negative. Patient was gently hydrated with NS at 100 cc/hr.
Axitinib was held as this may be causing some of symptoms, could
consider restarting as outpatient. Citalopram was continued for
depression.
#. Shortness of Breath: Patietn complained of dsypnea on
exertion. Given oncology history there is concern for pulmonary
embolism; however his sats are 100% on room air and he is not
tachycardic. Hypothyroidism may be contributing. Likely he is
deconditioned from weight loss and overall decline. Exam and
chest x-ray were not not concerning for CHF or PNA. Patient

#Presyncope:
Telemetry showed only rate-controlled atrial fibrillation.
Cardiology was consulted and given recent extensive cardiac
workup, they felt this episode was unlikely to be cardiac in
origin. TTE was repeated was stable. The most likely cause of
presyncope was either UTI or urinary retention. Urinalysis and
culture were unable to be performed the first day due to foley
trauma with significant hematuria.
#Hematuria, urinary retention, BPH, acute blood loss anemia:
He developed hematuria after traumatic attempts at placing Foley
in the ED. Warfarin was held and initial INR was 2.5.. Urology
was consulted and offered foley, but the patient and his family
refused citing infection risk. Upon discussion with family, it
was agreed to hold warfarin until hematuria resolves and restart
warfarin as an outpatient. The patient endorsed significant
prostate symptoms and started on Flomax but developed
orthostatic hypotension so it was stopped. PVRs improved to
150s. He was not having difficulty urinating at the time of
discharge and urine was non-bloody. Last INR was 1.4 on
___ and hemoglobin was 8.6 on discharge, down from
admission.
#Hypertension:
Amlodipine was stopped due to the patient feeling lower
extremity weakness while on it. Flomax was started for BPH but
he developed relative hypotension, so it was stopped. His BP
was noted to be labile. Due to concern that this was
contributing to presyncope, decision was made to discontinue all
blood pressure meds except for Coreg. His goal systolic blood
pressure was 140s-170s.
#Possible urinary tract infection:
Ceftriaxone were started empirically to treat for possible
urinary infection, given his urinary difficulty earlier in his
hospital course. Urine cultures were negative. He was afebrile
without leukocytosis. He was discharged on Cefpodoxime (renally

failed to improve with outpatient apixaban.
# Left lower leg edema and pain, secondary to:
# Left SFA DVT
--Recently diagnosed with SFA DVT approximately two weeks
ago and started on apixaban. DVT likely secondary to local vein
compression by thigh mass (as detailed below). Repeat U/S
without essentially unchanged size of clot. Per heme, likely
does not represent clot failure, though preference for lovenox
at this time rather than resumption of apixaban. Patient started
on lovenox 60mg BID (slightly dose reduced for CKD). He then he
developed hyperkalemia, so decision was made by Heme to switch
back to apixaban, which he tolerated well. He was transitioned
to a heparin gtt in anticipation of surgery as below and then
restarted on apixaban 2.5 mg BID post-procedurally.
# Left tibial plateau fracture
--Continued to have severe left lower leg pain, worse with
bearing weight, despite therapeutic anticoagulation and
increasing multi-modal pain medication regimen, prompting
further imaging of the leg. X-rays of the leg showed a
non-displaced left tibial plateau fracture which most likely
pathologic and not traumatic. Knee immobilizer placed for
comfort. Given inability to bear weight due to pain and risk of
worsening fracture limiting quality of life, ortho-onc
recommended limited surgery to stabilize knee which was done on
___, which patient tolerated well. Intraoperative biopsies
taken were pending at time of discharge, but preliminary
pathology report suggestive of high grade sarcoma, as previously
suspected.
# Thigh mass:
# Metastatic sarcoma:
# Goals of care:
Recent MRI demonstrated large soft tissue mass in the left thigh
encircling the superficial femoral vessels with associated
femoral vein thrombosis (as above) with radiographic features
highly concerning for sarcoma. S/p biopsy on ___ and staging CT
on ___ that demonstrated lung nodules. First biopsy results
were non-diagnostic due to majority of cells being necrotic.
Another biopsy was performed, this time of the enlarged left
inguinal lymph node (rather than the thigh mass itself), and the
results showed likely sarcoma (final stains pending). PET-CT was
performed and revealed known disease in thigh/along vessels up
to iliac and pulmonary nodules as well as possible small focus
in spine. He was seen by oncology who recommended against
chemotherapy. He was evaluated by radiation oncology who said
they would continue to follow his course and consider palliative
radiation therapy depending upon the final pathology results,
with radiation commencing no sooner than 2 weeks following his
orthopedic surgery (i.e. no sooner than ___. After
discussion with palliative care, he was transitioned to DNR/DNI.
# Hyperkalemia: developed while on heparin/LMWH despite holding
his home lisinopril -HCTZ. Improved initially w/ stopping
heparin/LMWH, then worsened again, suspect from lack of bowel
movements. Improved after bowel regimen produced multiple BMs.
# Constipation: likely multifactorial from opioids, pain, and
lack of mobility from severe LLE pain. Improved with aggressive
bowel regimen.

# GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING - Patient had guaiac positive stool
in the ED (confirmed by ___ physician) with an unsuccessful
nasogastric lavage. There was initial concern for upper
gastrointestinal bleeding given his hematocrit of 17% (10% drop
since ___ - though that was after transfusion for a
hematocrit of 23% on ___. Patient has been taking Ibuprofen
for headache while on steroids, which could predispose the
patient to gastritis among other issues. Patient does report
history of polyps on colonoscopy ___ prior and has known
diverticular disease, which could be a source for lower GI
bleeding. We initiated a Protonix infusion following a bolus and
consulted the GI specialists. He was maintained NPO with plans
for endoscopy, however HCT stabilized and he remained
hemodynamically stable without evidence of frank melana or
hematochezia. He received 5 units of packed red cells on
admission for his hematocrit of 17%. His HCT stabilized between
24 and 25. Given risks associated with intervention and the lack
of evidence for acute bleeding the decision was made to
empirically treat with PPI without endoscopy. The protonix gtt
was changed to IV BID and then omeprazole 40 mg po BID. His INR
was elevated likely in the setting malnutrition and he was given
1 unit of PRBC and vitamin K. Patient was monitored overnight
and continued to remain stable. He was discharged with plans to
avoid NSAIDS and with a prescription for a PPI.
.
# SEVERE MICROCYTIC ANEMIA - Patient has unclear hematocrit
baseline and has known anemia with recent hematocrit of 23%
following recent transfusion in ___ clinic.
Chronic GI bleeding, marrow suppression given his underlying
malignancy vs. marrow suppressive therapy could be contributing.
We monitored his hematocrit serially and transfused as needed.

# METASTATIC NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER - The patient is
status-post resection and cyberknife of brain metastatsis and
first cycle of chemotherapy. He was continued on his Keppra
dosing for seizure prophylaxis and oxycontin and oxycodone for
pain. The patient was evaluated by the palliative care team.
Patient decided at this time he is interested in full aggressive
care including CPR and intubation but not prolonged intubation.
Once he feels that he is declining and nearing death, he says
that he will likely choose to die without resuscitation but is
not at that point now. Patient was discharged with plans for
home visiting care (minimal services at this time) and potential
bridge to hospice should that be decided as the next step.
Patient has plans to follow up with his outpatient oncologist
next week and issues of goals of care will be discussed during
that visit.

baseline heart rate has been in the 110-120s (lowest HR recorded
in clinic was 112), except for a single EKG from ___
documenting a rate of 80 bpm. Unclear etiology likely ___
anemia. Patient continued to have sinus tachycardia despite
blood tranfusions and IVF making hypovolemia less likely. Had
CTA chest on ___ which was negative for PE and patient
remained in no respiratory distress, without pleuritic chest
pain, and maintained oxygen saturations in the ___ on room air.
LENIs were negative for DVT. Also, likely component of
overlying anxiety.

the medicine ICU. She had increasing somnolence and serial NCHCT
with expansion of her hematoma without increased midline shift.
She was transferred to neuro ICU. SBP goal <150 and did not
require standing antihypertensives. Her 48 hour NCHCT showed
overall stable hemorrhage and subq heparin was resumed. In terms
of etiology, given her preceding months of abdominal symptoms,
weight loss and an area of hemorrhage and area of hypodensity,
suspicion for malignancy was high. She underwent MRI/MRA which
showed left fronto-temporal IPH without evidence of contrast
enhancement or abnormal vascularity as well as an area in right
temporal anterior lobe with contrast enhancement suspicious of
underlying malignancy. She had a CT Torso with and without
contrast which showed no evidence of malignancy but did show
pancreatitis. GI was consulted who recommended MRCP in ___ weeks
to assess for underlying malignancy after inflammation has
resolved. Alternative etiologies for her IPH were ischemic
hemorrhagic conversion, but TTE negative for thrombus and LENIs
negative as well. CAA vs. hypertensive etiologies were also
considered, but she had no persistent hypertension and no other
findings suggestive of CAA on MRI. In the neuro ICU, her mental
status improved and she was alert, but not following commands
with global aphasia. She was subsequently extubated on ___. She
was transferred to the neurology ward service where she
continued to improve. She had PEG placed ___. She remained
stable from neuro perspective. On discharge, she was alert with
improving aphasia, able to speak short phrases softly in ___
and able to follow simple commands in ___. She will have
follow-up with neurology and repeat MRI with and without
contrast of brain to assess left IPH and possible right anterior
temporal mass, amyloid.
#Acute on Chronic Abdominal Pain
#Pancreatitis
Family reported weeks to months of abdominal complaints. She was
scheduled for endoscopy as outpatient. Prior to presentation she
had acute worsening of her abdominal pain and vomiting. LFTs
were elevated (400-600s), lipase was elevated to 1800sand tbili
to 1.6. She had CT Torso which showed pancreatitis. She was
treated with aggressive fluids for 48 hrs and her liver enzymes
normalized. She had no evidence of gallstones, no history of
etoh, normal ANCA, triglycerides and calcium. She does however
take statin, celocoxib and supplements, all of which have been
linked to pancreatitis. These medications were stopped. There
was also suspicion for pancreatic malignancy given her history
of chronic abdominal issues and 20 lb weight loss. Given
inflammation in the setting of pancreatitis, GI recommended MRCP
which was performed but not completed due to chest pain (EKG
unremarkable) and anxiety. No pancreatic abnormality detected on
this limited study. Given the study limitations, she was
scheduled for an outpatient EUS and GI follow-up prior to
discharge.

the right atrium. Blood products also extend along the proximal aortic arch,
some of which may be intramural, and along the course of the pulmonary
arteries to the subsegmental level on the right and the lobar level on the
left, resulting in a decrease in caliber of the affected vasculature. No
hemothorax.
NOTIFICATION: The findings and recommendation for cardiac surgery
consultation were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___, M.D.
on the telephone on ___ at approximately 09:05 am, less than 5 minutes
after discovery of the findings. Radiology showed The patient is post median sternotomy with repair of a ruptured ascending
aortic aneurysm. The tip of the endotracheal tube projects over the mid
thoracic trachea. On the initial radiograph, the tip of a right internal
jugular Swan-Ganz catheter is looped in the pulmonary artery and the tip
projects over the left hilum likely within a branch of the left lower lobe
pulmonary artery. This positioning is subsequently corrected on the
subsequent radiographs. On the final radiograph the tip projects over the main
pulmonary artery, in satisfactory position. Multiple mediastinal drains and
chest tubes are present.
Patchy opacities at both lung bases likely reflect atelectasis. The size of
the cardiomediastinal silhouette is enlarged, likely reflecting a hematoma and
postoperative change. No pneumothorax is identified. Chest radiograph showed 1. Interval improvement of pulmonary vascular congestion and edema compared to
___.
2. All support and monitoring devices are in standard position. Chest radiograph showed All support and monitoring devices are in standard positions. No pneumothorax
or mediastinal widening. Radiology showed The ET tube, NG tube and the Swan-Ganz catheter are unchanged. Pulmonary
edema is slightly worsened. Bilateral effusions are stable.
Cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged. No pneumothorax is seen. Radiology showed The Dobbhoff tube terminates in the stomach. Otherwise stable exam. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed Swan-Ganz catheter tip is at the level of the right ventricular outflow tract.
Type of tube passes below the diaphragm terminating in the stomach. ET tube
tip is 5 cm above the carinal. There is minimal improvement in the right
basal consolidation. The patient is still in mild pulmonary edema. No
pneumothorax. Chest radiograph showed 1. Interval insertion of a Dobhoff feeding tube projecting over the right
mainstem bronchus. The primary team is aware and the tube has since been
removed.
2. Pulmonary edema and bilateral effusions appear slightly worse compared to
prior.
NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by
___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 1:35 pm, 5 minutes
after discovery of the findings. Radiology showed No findings of bowel obstruction Radiology showed No definite findings of bowel obstruction. Left lower airspace disease and
pleural effusion. Radiology showed The enteric tube now appears to be post pyloric. Radiology showed Compared to the earlier same day examination, the Dobhoff tube has been
repositioned with the tip projecting over the expected location of the
pylorus, satisfactory. There is a nonspecific bowel gas pattern with relative
paucity of visualized bowel gas. The lung apices are excluded from view.
Right IJ central venous catheter appears grossly unchanged. This study is not
tailored for examination of the lung parenchyma, with left-sided effusion and
bibasilar opacities appearing grossly similar. CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT showed Comparison to ___. The patient has received a new left-sided
PICC line. The course of the line is unremarkable, the tip of the line
projects over the mid SVC. No complications, notably no pneumothorax.
Otherwise unchanged radiograph, including the right jugular introduction sheet
and the feeding tube. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed Comparison to ___. Bilaterally, the extent of the pre-existing
pleural effusions has minimally decreased. Areas of substantial atelectasis
are still visualized at the left and right lung bases. Moderate cardiomegaly
persists. No new focal parenchymal changes. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed In comparison with study of ___, there again is substantial
enlargement of the cardiac silhouette with moderate pulmonary edema.
Retrocardiac opacification is consistent with substantial volume loss in the
left lower lobe and probable small effusion. Less prominent changes are seen
at the right base. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed Compared to chest radiographs since ___ most recently ___.
Edema has resolved. Left lower lobe remains densely consolidated accompanied
by an indeterminate volume pleural effusion. Moderate enlargement of cardiac
silhouette is unchanged.
No pneumothorax.
Feeding tube passes into the stomach and out of view. Left PIC line ends in
the mid SVC. Radiology showed The tip of the Dobhoff projects over the stomach. CHEST (PA AND LAT) showed In comparison with the study of ___, the Dobhoff tube has been
removed. Left subclavian catheter is unchanged.
Continued enlargement the cardiac silhouette with mild vascular congestion.
Opacification at the left base is consistent with substantial volume loss in
left lower lobe and pleural fluid. The patient was diagnosed with Chest pain, unspecified. The patient was treated with ___ - Emergent resection of ascending aortic
aneurysm rupture and ascending aortic replacement with a 28 mm
Gelweave tube graft and coronary artery bypass grafting x 1

invasive monitoring.
She weaned from sedation on POD#1 but she was slow to wake. She
was arrousable but she required aggressive diuresis with a Lasix
drip and was extubated on POD#4. She had tube feeds through a
dobhoff tube which was very difficult to place and required ___.
Her chest tubes and wires were discontinued in the first few
days postop. She was weaned from inotropic and vasopressor
support. Beta blocker was initiated and she was diuresed toward
his preoperative weight. She had an elevated WBC and grew
Citerobacter on a BAL. She was treated with Ceftazadime and

ACTIVE ISSUES
=============
#Non-purulent RLE Cellulitis
Patient presented to ___ in early ___ for a
pneumonia, and was found to have RLE cellulitis, which was
treated
initially with IV vancomycin, CTX, and azithromycin, and he was
discharged on PO doxycycline. Course was extended due to
insufficient response, and cephalexin was added on ___.
Presenting here due to persistent cellulitis, due to concern
from
orthopedics given ongoing infection and plan for possible
further
surgical intervention to right ankle. Patient was afebrile, and
hemodynamically stable, and there is no evidence of involvement
of the underlying joint or hardware. However, given the
persistence of the infection and the possibility for seeding the
ankle hardware or cardiac pacemaker, pt was treated initially
with IV
antibiotics. Patient was seen by infectious disease, felt that
some of his skin changes were more consistent with peripheral
vascular disease (likely mixed arterial and venous), and
therefore recommended discontinuing IV antibiotics and
completing a course of cephalexin (end ___. Blood cultures
were pending. CRP elevated at 10.9/ESR 46. Recommended
outpatient vascular surgery evaluation, which was discussed with
pt and his wife prior to discharge home.
#Normocytic anemia
Most recent hemoglobin in ___ was 10.6. Hemoglobin on admission
7.9. Iron studies consistent with anemia of chronic
inflammation.
#Complicated UTI
Urinalysis in the ED was significant for pyuria and bacteria.
Patient also reports increased frequency of urination. Urine
cultures grew KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE >100,000 CFU/mL;
sensitivities reported after discharge revealed highly resistant
(carbapenem resistant, sensitive only to amikacin). Discussed
with ID, RNs, and environmental services for appropriate room
cleaning. Pt and his wife notified by phone; given lack of
dysuria, reasonable to defer further treatment of UTI vs
asymptomatic bacteruria. Received one dose of CTX in the ED, and
initially treated with PO Ciprofloxacin 500 mg BID, neither of
which were active against highly resistant Klebsiella.
Chronic Issues

TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
===================
- On course of cephalexin 500 mg four times a day through ___
for cellulitis. It is unclear how much of his current findings
are due to infection vs peripheral vascular disease.
- Will need follow up with vascular surgery for question of
peripheral vascular disease
- Urine sensitivities for Klebsiella resulted after patient was
already discharged. Resistant to nearly all antibiotics
(intermediate sensitivity to meropenem, and sensitive to
amkikacin). Patient was only having very minor urinary symptoms
(just frequency) so the risks of treating outweigh the benefits.
However, should he develop more significant urinary symptoms or
become septic, this will be a very difficult organism to treat.

pneumonitis who presents with cough and shortness of breath x1
week, noted to be tachycardic with lactic acidosis in the ED.
She was admitted to the MICU and her lactate resolved and
symptoms improved with IV fluids and treatment for community
acquired pneumonia.
# Community acquired pneumonia: She did have WBC to 15 with
mild fevers and productive cough/sputum production. We decided
to treat with levofloxcain 750 mg daily x 7 days because of her
history of radiation damage and bronchiectasis. Other likely
etiologies are a viral URI/bronchitis in the setting of her sick
contacts at school with associated reactive airway disease,
especially given her normal CXR. She was continued on her home
fluticasone inhaler and albuterol inhaler. She did recieve 40
mg of prednisone in the ED but this was not continued.
# Tachycardia: Could be in setting of infection, though pt
reports very good PO fluid intake. She says she has been
running a "high" heart rate in the ___ over recent months
at baseline and this is confirmed in prior clinic notes.
Pulmonary embolus was considered but her Ddimer in the 200s
makes this less likely. No evidence of effusion/tamponade on ED
bedside echo. No recent levothryoxine dose changes. We sent an
email to her outpatient PCP making them aware that this was an
ongoing issue and they may want to pursue cardiac work-up
including echo and stress since she has potential for
radiation-induced CAD or heart failure.

than 4 despite 3L NS in the absence of a significant infectious
process. BP is normal on the floor. No abdominal pain or other
localizing symptoms. It did resolve the following morning.

and HCV with varices (last admitted in ___ for GI bleed
secondary to varices at which time he required intubation, and
again in ___ for EtoH intoxication and hematemesis), who
was initially admitted for complicated alcohol withdrawal. Surgery area showed Streaky opacities overlying the bilateral lower lobes could represent
atelectasis given low lung volumes, however infection cannot be excluded.
Slight vascular prominence may be exaggerated by low lung volumes.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Consider dedicated PA and lateral view radiographs when
tolerated by patient. CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST showed 1. No acute intracranial abnormality on noncontrast head CT. Specifically no
large territory infarct or intracranial hemorrhage. Suggestion of bilateral
orbital frontal encephalomalacia.
2. Mild left frontal scalp soft tissue swelling without evidence of acute
displaced calvarial fracture.
3. Additional findings as described above. CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST Q311 CT SPINE showed 1. No fracture or malalignment.
2. The palatine tonsils are prominent, slightly greater in the expected for
the patient's age, but overall unchanged from prior exam. This could be
reactive in nature. Clinical correlation is recommended. Radiology showed 1. Evaluation of the subsegmental pulmonary arterial levels within the lung
bases is limited by respiratory motion. Allowing for this, no pulmonary
embolism to the segmental level is demonstrated. No acute thoracic aortic
pathology is seen.

to persistent tachycardia with minimal responsiveness, he was
admitted to the MICU. On arrival to the MICU, he was arousable,
but generally refused to engage in conversation. He received a
phenobarbital loading dose, but was not continued on maintenance
dosing due to his cirrhosis and stabilization of his symptoms.
He had a transient fever, which was felt to be due to aspiration

#Tachycardia.
Prior discharge summary notes history of withdrawal seizures
which patient denies. On arrival in MICU, patient was
tachycardic, tremulous, and nauseous concerning for onset of
withdrawal. Serum ETOH 433 on arrival to ED, with elevated
lactate to 2.4 (suspect type B lactic acidosis). Received 2 mg
Ativan in ED and was reportedly somnolent. Mental status
improved on assessment in MICU and patient received reduced
phenobarbital load to 5 mg/kg which he tolerated to good effect.
He received high dose Thiamine, folate, and multivitamin.
The patient was transferred to the floor on ___ and
remained clinically stable. He did not exhibit any signs or
symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal and did not require any
additional lorazepam (written for 1 mg q4 PRN per ___
protocol). He was continued on Thiamine, multivitamin, folate.
He was seen by ___ and expressed interest in programs for
Behavioral Health and substance use recovery and was provided
with relevant resources. At discharge, a plan was made for the
patient to follow-up at ___ where he can
be set up with a case manager, as well as with his primary care
provider, who was informed about his admission.
#Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Patient noted to desaturate and had oxygen requirement in the
MICU. This was likely due to sedation. It resolved prior to
discharge.
#Fever.
Temperature to 101.6F in ED. Mild leukocytosis on admission,
which normalized later. CXR with b/l lower lobe opacities
favoring atelectasis rather than infection. UA negative for
infection. Antibiotics were deferred given hemodynamic stability
and low suspicion for infection.
On the floor, the patient spiked a fever again to 101.7 the
night of ___. UCx was clear and repeat CXR did not demonstrate
pulmonary process suggestive of pneumonia. The etiology was
thought to be most likely temperature fluctuations in setting of
withdrawal. The patient remained afebrile throughout the morning
on the day of discharge. He was given return precautions to
re-present to care if he developed more concerning respiratory
symptoms
#Hyponatremia: Na 131 on ___, drop from 139, together with
lower blood pressures (systolics <100) was noted. This was
thought to be most likely hypovolemic hyponatremia. The patient
was treated with IVF and increased PO intake and his blood
pressures increased to systolics >110 prior to d/c.
#Cirrhosis
#Esophageal varices.
#Hx ___ tear.
Received Nadolol and Lactulose on prior admissions, though does
not take these medications as an outpatient. In ___ EGD
showed 2 cords of grade II varices seen in the lower esophagus.
He was restarted on Pantoprazole, Lactulose, and Nadolol while
inpatient.
#Coagulopathy: Presented with an admission INR of 1.8. This did
not respond to Vitamin K challenge, so likely primarily due to
liver disease.
#Anemia of chronic disease: His hemoglobin was low on admission
but similar to prior values in our system. Likely due to marrow
dysfunction from alcohol and cirrhosis, and there was no
evidence of active blood loss.

demonstrated non-specific T-wave inversions, but troponin was
negative x 2 so ACS ruled out. TTE ___ demonstrated normal LV
function, slightly dilated RV, PASP unable to be estimated. BNP
low (unreliable given his adiposity); overall, CHF exacerbation
unlikely. New tachycardia and pleuritic nature of pain c/f
