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>

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. 4. 9 mm AP window lymph node is decreased in size from prior exam from ___, previously 11 mm. 5. Persistent narrowing of the left upper lobe bronchus and partial left upper lobe, lingular atelectasis. 6. Mild intra and extrahepatic biliary ductal dilation is partially imaged however unchanged from prior exams, better evaluated on prior dedicated abdominal imaging.

The patient was given written instructions concerning precautionary instructions and the appropriate follow-up care. All questions were answered prior to discharge. The patient expressed readiness for discharge. [/INST] </s><s>Mr. ___ is a ___ with Stage II SCC of the lung who 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. Started cycle 2 ___ taxol ___. Continued to receive daily radiation as an inpatient. #L foot and ankle swelling. Minimal swelling on exam without history of trauma, no evidence of infection. CTA negative for PE and negative ___ for acute DVT. #CAD. Continued home ASA, statin #COPD. Continued home tiotropium and albuterol neb prn #Depression. Continued quetiapine and venlafaxine. #GERD.

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 abx as well. See above for plan for c. diff management. Essentially flagyl will be continued for 14 days after discontinuation of other abx. # Rash: Appeared to be a fixed drug reaction. The area was marked and despite not changing any of her medications, the rash improved. At the time of discharge it was not present. # PSYCH: Continued home meds: - Fluoxetine 20 mg PO DAILY - Lithium Carbonate 150 mg PO BID - OLANZapine 10 mg PO BID - Lorazepam 1 mg PO QHS:PRN insomina - OLANZapine 5 mg PO ASDIR .</s>

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 was saturating well and comfortable on room air at rest, however desaturated with ambulation. It was difficult to assess whether this was a true desaturation or a poor measurement.

Her exam was notable for left gaze deviation, right facial droop, RUE w/d in plane of bed and RLE with dense plegia. She had a NCHCT with left fronto-temporal IPH and right anterior temporal hypodensity. She was intubated in the emergency department given increasing somnolence. She had LFTs which were elevated (~400) with elevated lipase (~1800) and was admitted to 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.

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.
