1601006062 LONG CASE

 28 YEAR OLD GENTLEMAN WITH FEVER,SOB,PEDAL EDEMA, ABDOMINAL DISTENSION AND DECREASED URINE OUTPUT.


Hello everyone, I am a final year medical student. Recently I came across an interesting case in my clinical rotations.

Here we discuss our individual patient's problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs. 


This E log book also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio. Your valuable inputs on the comment box is welcome.
This is an online E log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's signed informed consent.


 CHIEF COMPLAINTS: A 29 year old male unmarried who is a daily wage labourer resident of Nalgonda, came to hospital with chief complaints of on & off fever since 2 yrs , shortness of breath , b/l pedal edema , abdominal distension and decreased urine output since 1 year

HISTORY OF PRESENTING ILLNESS:
Patient was apparently asymptomatic 2years ago and then one day he developed 
fever (high grade , continuous , associated with chills & rigors) and generalized body aches for which he went to a local RMP and he prescribed some tablets.
Fever subsided temporarily and he used to get fever at night.

So he went to a local hospital in nalgonda where they prescribed him some pain killers for his body pains & fever which he continued to take daily for nearly 5-6 months (2-3 tablets/day).

Inspite of that he had on & off fever & pedal edema(b/l pitting type extending upto knees) for which he went to NIMS,where several investigations where performed. He then underwent kidney biopsy due to abnormal RFT's and was diagnosed with primary focal segmental glomerulo sclerosis.

2 months later he had increasing pedal edema associated with decreased urine output , abdominal distension and SOB grade 2-3, for which dialysis was advised & that was when he came to our hospital. From then onwards he was on maintainence hemodialysis.

He has also been started on empirical ATT even though his sputum turned out to be negative because of the long standing history of fever, cough and around 10 kgs of weight loss in 7 months. After initiating ATT, his blood pressure couldn't be under control so decision was made to put Rifampicin on hold.

From the past 5-6 months SOB has been increasing gradually to grade-4 with associated orthopnea & PND.
