Also has a recent surgery of the left upper extremity with subsequent development of bilateral lower extremity pain and swelling, worse on the right.  Now presenting to Hospital on 7/10/2024.   Primary complaints on presentation are surrounding back pain, persistent progressive over the days prior to presentation, also endorses chronic cough.  Patient states that since 6/21/2024, her bilateral lower extremities have been swelling with pain along the inner thigh and popliteal region.   On initial evaluation, hemogram values show leukocytosis of 12.2 thousand, absolute neutrophils of 11.3 thousand.  D-dimer elevated at 688.  Hemoglobin 9.7 g/dL and consistent with a chronic and stable anemia.  Electrolyte analysis shows reduction in sodium at 131.  Renal function analysis shows acute worsening of baseline CKD stage II.  Hepatobiliary labs relatively within normal limits.  Albumin 2.8.  Lipase negative.  Initial lactate 2.4, downtrending to 3.5 (confounded in setting of liver disease and crystalloid fluid administration lactated Ringer's in the emergency department).   Vital signs show the patient to be febrile, persistently tachypneic and tachycardic, now saturating well on 2 L nasal cannula, and intermittently hypotensive still receiving 30 cc/kg bolus on admission.   Chest x-ray was performed showing no acute findings in the chest.   CT abdomen pelvis shows gas within the urinary bladder concerning for emphysematous cystitis in the setting of overtly infectious urinalysis.  Fatty liver disease with nodular liver and cirrhosis with sequelae of splenomegaly also noted.   CT of the chest was performed showing no pulmonary embolism, once again cirrhosis with splenomegaly noted.   This time the patient will be placed on inpatient ICU status.   In all greater than 50 minutes critical care time spent in coordination of care.  The patient is critically ill due to metabolic, hemodynamic and/or respiratory instability. He/she requires high complexity evaluation care and decision making. He/she requires critical evaluation/decision making and/or ICU level of care and monitoring due to high risk of clinical decompensation with high risk of morbidity and mortality. Critical care time includes bedside assessment, review of medical record, radiographic and laboratory results, ventilator and/or respiratory management, review of ekg and/or cardiac monitoring, critical decision making, coordination of care with consultants and/or care team, and documentation of critical intervention/plans, and consultation with patient and/or family. Time excludes any procedural time.

Sepsis secondary to UTI   A41.9   Present on admission, borderlining shock physiology with 30 cc/kg bolus still infusing while excepted on admission.  Will continue up to 3-4 L of crystalloid fluid supplementation prior to initiation of vasopressor support.  Patient being placed in ICU for moderate to high probability of hemodynamic and respiratory instability.  Blood cultures, urine culture, repeat lactate, and procalcitonin pending.  Will continue empiric coverage with cefepime.  Patient is a known cirrhotic and received lactated Ringer's in the emergency department, this may confound the lactate, will transition crystalloid fluid to normal saline.   2.
