Discharge Disposition:  Hospice   Medications, instructions, follow up information: See patient Discharge Instructions/AVS.   Hospital Course and Significant Findings:   The patient is a 94 years old gentleman, with history of a compression fracture of the spine earlier this year, who presented to the ED with complaints of generalized weakness, decreased p.o. intake, and fever.   He had a positive PCR test for COVID and was admitted for treatment.   The patient has defervesced after 3 doses of remdesivir, he has never been hypoxic.   However, he remained physically weak, was noted to have significant degree of obstipation, and had what appears to have been vasovagal syncope on 11/6.   Review of the chart revealed presence of chronic anemia and chronic renal failure.  While the patient only started being seen at clinic fairly recently, a month ago was the first time, he apparently has had abnormal renal function in the past. Per his outpatient record, his creatinine was 2.15 and his GFR was 28 in July 2022. He was noted to have significantly more impaired renal indices on this admission.   As of the last month, his Cr was 3.8, and it is currently 5.97 as of today. He has been having good urine output since a foley catheter has been placed.   The labs were notable for a monoclonal spike on the SPEP, in the M-band. Immunofixation report is pending.   11/10-11/11 the patient developed worsening respiratory distress, hypoxia, associated with B/L pulmonary infiltrates.   He was treated with IV Lasix for fluid overload. Decadrone IV for treatment of COVID-19 associated hypoxia was also started.   Unfortunateyl, patient's overall condition continued to deteriorate. He's remained uremic, despite fair urine output.   The family has made a decision to transition to Hospice care.
