Diagnosis |
|
· Primary Diagnosis- Differential diagnosis: Acute pyelonephritis: Patient doesn’t complaint of back pain, urgency, fever, malodorous urine, hematuria, chills, no PMHx of kidney stones or recent respiratory infections, which makes pyelonephritis a less likely diagnosis. Hypothyroidism: There isn’t generalized weakness, recent weight gain, cold intolerance, syncope, faintness, dry skin, anterior neck mass or pretibial edema, BMI is less than 25; which point far from Hypothyroidism diagnosis. Hyperthyroidism: No tachycardia, no nervousness, no heat intolerance, no diarrhea, no insomnia, no, weight loss, no neck mass, no recent infections. All previously mentioned makes Hypothyroidism a less likely diagnosis. Primary diagnosis:
1) Essential (primary) hypertension (I10): High blood pressure (BP), or hypertension, is defined by two levels by 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines: (1) elevated BP, with a systolic pressure (SBP) between 120 and 129 mm Hg and diastolic pressure (DBP) less than 80 mm Hg, and (2) stage 1 hypertension, with an SBP of 130 to 139 mm Hg or a DBP of 80 to 89 mm Hg. Hypertension is the most common primary diagnosis in the United States. It affects approximately 86 million adults (≥20 years) in the United States and is a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. PLAN Essential (primary) hypertension Pharmacological: Increase dose: Lisinopril 10 mg PO daily. Non-pharmacological: Low sodium diet. Exercise 15 minutes at least 6 times a week. Stress management or avoid stress. Continue monitoring blood pressure at home, document and bring log to the consult. Patient instructed to call/visit office if blood pressure higher then 140/90mm/Hg. Avoid high-sodium foods Avoid eating: Smoked, cured, salted, and canned meat, fish, and poultry, ham, bacon, hot dogs, and luncheon meats, regular, hard, and processed cheese and regular peanut butter. Crackers with salted tops, and other salted snack foods such as pretzels, chips, and salted popcorn. Frozen prepared meals, unless labeled low sodium. Canned and dried soups, broths, and bouillon, unless
labeled sodium-free or low-sodium. Canned vegetables, unless labeled sodium-free or low- sodium. French fries, pizza, tacos, and other fast foods. Pickles, olives, ketchup, and other condiments, especially soy sauce, unless labeled sodium-free or low-sodium. FOLLOW UP: Follow up next week to review treatment effectiveness and laboratory results.
