Creatinine 1.47 with a BUN of 34, sodium 125, chloride 91, anion gap 15, serum bicarbonate 19, serum lactate elevated at 3.2, however, repeat was 1.1.  Troponin 23, 35 on repeat, no chest pain.  AST is 45 otherwise LFTs are normal.   Urine showing pyuria, negative for bacteria, glucosuria noted, trace ketosis.  COVID-19 negative, influenza negative.  Blood glucose nearly 400.  The patient has been persistently tachycardic with heart rate around 120s, respiratory rate in the high 20s to 30s although no hypoxia, no complaint of shortness of breath or cough, chest x-ray is clear.  VBG 7.45 with a pCO2 of 30, respiratory compensation with hyperventilation in response to metabolic acidosis, pH normal.     Review of Systems     Complains of shaking chills, fever, bilateral flank pain, malaise, denies syncope, denies chest pain.  Denies shortness of air or cough.  Denies urinary frequency or dysuria.

Acute pyelonephritis   N10   Given clinical and radiographic findings of bilateral pyelonephritis, critical illness with sepsis and possibly severe sepsis given acute kidney injury, and possible emphysematous pyelonephritis, will cover broadly per recommendations including empiric ESBL coverage as well as Pseudomonas coverage.  Meropenem 1 g every 8 hours in addition to vancomycin.  Follow urine cultures and procalcitonin to guide antibiotic de-escalation.   2. Sepsis   A41.9   Present on admission, fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, elevated serum lactate.  On repeat examination, capillary refill and tissue perfusion intact although there has been a 40 point drop in systolic blood pressure since the time the patient initially presented concerning for worsening sepsis.  Will place in ICU for close hemodynamic monitoring and hemodynamic support if needed.  Follow urine and blood cultures.  Broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage.  Follow procalcitonin levels as well.   3. Acute kidney injury   N17.9   Likely prerenal, will check urine sodium and creatinine, fractional excretion of sodium, avoid nephrotoxic agents, renal dosing of medications.  Hold ACE inhibitor, no IV contrast.   4. Acute hyponatremia   E87.1  The patient has chronic hyponatremia, tends to run around 130.  Blood sugar is 400, corrected sodium closer to 130 at this time.  Will check thyroid function, correct hyperglycemia, gently hydrate and repeat in the morning   5. CKD stage 3 due to type 2 diabetes mellitus   E11.22   Noted   6. Essential hypertension   I10   Hold antihypertensives until hemodynamic stability is assured and then reimplement and titrate as needed   7. Depression with anxiety   F41.8   Mood appropriate, does not appear to be on home medication for this.   8. Hypothyroidism   E03.9   Check thyroid function and continue levothyroxine   9. Insulin dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus   E11.9   Hold metformin, continue basal insulin at 10 units with sliding scale prandial coverage, A1c, Accu-Cheks   10.

This could be a normal finding ifthere has been recent catheterization or instrumentation. Otherwiseintraluminal gas can be sign of infection with gas producingorganisms or fistula.3.
