Resolved Hospital Problems No resolved problems to display.     Discharge Disposition:  Home   Medications, instructions, follow up information: See patient Discharge Instructions/AVS.   Hospital Course and Significant Findings: 56-year-old male with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis and hyperparathyroidism who was asked to come to the hospital due to severely low serum calcium 5.8).  Remarkably, asymptomatic.  Received intravenous calcium supplementation and hemodialysis.  Calcium at time of discharge was 8.7.  As patient remained asymptomatic, and has a plan for medical management of his hyperparathyroidism put in place with the assistance of his nephrologist Dr., I felt it safe for patient to return home today.  See above for management of hypocalcemia.   Incidentally found to have COVID-19 disease.  On further questioning, patient reports he developed a cough 2 days ago on December 11.  However he  was not observed to be coughing in the hospital.  As the patient was not hypoxic and had no respiratory symptoms, he did not receive directed treatments for COVID-19 while hospitalized.  Isolation instructions given at time of discharge.   Hemodialysis has been arranged for the patient and the facility that accepts COVID patients.  Patient will receive hemodialysis tomorrow, and again on Saturday.
