Clinical narrative: Date of Admission  12/28/2021   Date of Discharge  01/07/2022   Reason for Hospitalization   dx with covid on 12/26. pt recieved infusion on 12/26. pt reports increased weakness, malaise, fatigue, intermittant cp  Hospital Course       Pt is a 77 y.o. M with pmh HTN, T2DM, HLD, CAD (with 7 stents) and recent UTI with nonobstructing renal calculi on CT abdomen presenting to ED with ongoing nausea and sob after recently testing positive for COVID-19. CXR w/ bilateral opacities, inflammatory markers all elevated consistent with COVID infection. Started on dexamethasone. CT chest PE protocol with no evidence of PE, moderate interstitial edema, small B/L pleural effusions. Given edema and pleural effusions, echo ordered and showing new onset HFrEF with EF 40% and global hypokinesis. Hospital course complicated by episode of abdominal pain and lethargy with elevated lactate/crp with stat CT abdomen no acute findings aside from b/l pleural effusions and diffuse mesenteric edema, hyperglycemia/uncontrolled DM2 requiring insulin drip briefly. Continued on empiric antibiotics, weaning off supplemental (2-4L) oxygen as able.  Patient continued to appear nonseptic without significant fever, leukocytosis, thus antibiotics were discontinued on 1/3.  His dexamethasone was additionally discontinued on 1/3 as patient was now on room air and continue to struggled with uncontrolled hyperglycemia.  Lantus is periodically increased from 10 units to 30 units nightly with sliding scale and carb correction insulin.  Chlorpromazine added for hiccups at night appears to have uncontrolled.  Due to persistently elevated LFTs and alkaline phosphatase there was concern over possible hepatobiliary pathology.  Right upper quadrant ultrasound revealed biliary sludge and hepatic steatosis without acute abnormalities.  Transaminitis presumed like secondary to multifactorial effect of high Lipitor dose, acute COVID-19 pathology and less contributory biliary sludge.  His abdominal pain continues to be improved on aggressive bowel regimen of Doc senna, MiraLAX with as needed enemas and suppositories.  Patient's wife expressed concerns over patient's current endocrinologist and requested follow-up with  physicians patient.  We will additionally schedule outpatient gastric emptying study.
