She has been advised to increase her fluid intake in the short term.    DETAILS OF HOSPITAL STAY: PRESENTING PROBLEM: Pneumonia due to COVID-19 virus [U07.1, J12.82] COVID-19 [U07.1]   HOSPITAL COURSE: 66-year-old female with a past medical history significant for immunosuppression due to history of liver and renal transplant who presented to the emergency department with complaints of nausea, diarrhea, and shortness of breath on exertion.  She was found to have COVID-19.   Patient did require oxygen on admission to the hospital.  Based on her duration of symptoms and need for hospitalization with oxygen use, she was precluded from monoclonal antibiotic therapy.  Her mycophenolate was held in the setting of her acute illness.  Her prednisone dose was thought to be in need of increased and she was placed on initially methylprednisolone and subsequently after that 40 mg of prednisone daily.  Her tacrolimus was held on admission and tacrolimus level was checked in the setting of AKI.  With her AKI, it was suspected that she was suffering from volume depletion therefore IV fluids were started and Nephrology was consulted.   Patient was seen in consultation by Nephrology who agreed with holding tacrolimus and mycophenolate initially and providing IV fluids.  Patient was also seen in consultation briefly by Gastroenterology by Gastroenterology had nothing to offer in regards to use of the patient's immunosuppressive agents.  Patient's transplant service was contacted and they agreed withholding mycophenolate and once tacrolimus level came back greatly elevated at 28, they also agreed with holding of tacrolimus.   Patient was found to maintain adequate oxygen saturation on room air shortly after admission but did desaturate significantly with ambulation was thought to qualify for home oxygen.  She overall felt better shortly after admission with the use of IV fluids and supplemental oxygen.  After repeat tacrolimus level came back at 16, after discussion with the University transplant service, patient was thought to be okay to resume her tacrolimus morning of 12/24 at decreased dose of 2 mg.  Patient was also advised to consume more liquids as her renal function overall improved from a creatinine of 1.85 on admission down to a creatinine of 1.32.  As she was anxious to go home for the holidays, she was allowed to be discharged home on 12/23/2021 with repeat labs to be done on 12/27 to further evaluate her tacrolimus level.  She has also been prescribed a short course of tapering prednisone.
