4. Case 1: Tragic Misdiagnosis
25 y.o. female presents complaining of fatigue and mild joint
pain. Routine urinalysis with a dipstick shows proteinuria and
microscopic hematuria.
Diagnosed as cystitis and treated with an antibiotic.
6 months later patient returns with hypertension and edema.
Blood tests: Creatinine 10 mg/dl (normal 0.8 - 1.3),
BUN 130 mg/dl (normal 10-20), and, on urinalysis, RBC casts.
Admitted to hospital and started on dialysis.
5. Case 1: Tragic Misdiagnosis
25 y.o. female presents complaining of fatigue and mild joint
pain. Routine urinalysis with a dipstick showed proteinuria and
microscopic hematuria.
Diagnosed as cystitis and treated with an antibiotic.
6 months later patient returns with hypertension and edema.
Blood tests: Creatinine 10 mg/dl (normal 0.8 - 1.3),
BUN 130 mg/dl (normal 10-20), and, on urinalysis, RBC casts.
Admitted to hospital and started on dialysis.
Dx: SLE with diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis
6. Case 2: Problems After a Diagnostic Study
75 yo female (45 kg) complaining of intermittent chest pains is
admitted to the hospital for cardiac catheterization. Creatinine is
1.7 mg/dl. Following the study, patient is noted to have
decreased urine output, and over the next three days her
creatinine progressively increases to 5.5.
7. Case 2: Problems After a Diagnostic Study
75 yo female (45 kg) complaining of intermittent chest pains is
admitted to the hospital for catheterization. Creatinine is 1.7
mg/dl. Following the study, patient is noted to have decreased
urine output, and over the next three days her creatinine
progressively increases to 5.5.
Dx: Contrast-induced acute renal failure in a patient at
increased risk because of reduced renal function. Renal
function declines with age and at 45 kg she has relatively small
muscle mass, lowering creatinine production. The creatinine of
1.7, therefore, represents not a minimally elevated value, but,
rather one indicative of substantially decreased baseline
glomerular filtration.
8. Case 3: Life Threatening Hyperkalemia
A 35 y.o. female with 20 year history of Type I diabetes and
hypertension is hospitalized for treatment of a cellulitis.
Creatinine - 2.5 mg/dl, K+ 4.8 mEq/L, BP 150/100. The intern
starts enalapril (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) and
atenolol (beta-blocker).
Three days later, BP is well-controlled at 115/70, but morning
chemistries return with a K+ is 6.8 and EKG shows peaked T
waves and widening of the QRS complex. Urgent treatment for
hyperkalemia is started.
9. Case 3: Life Threatening Hyperkalemia
A 35 y.o. female with 20 year history of Type I diabetes and
hypertension is hospitalized for treatment of a cellulitis.
Creatinine - 2.5 mg/dl, K+ 4.8 mEq/L, BP 150/100. The intern
starts enalapril (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) and
atenolol (beta-blocker).
Three days later, BP is well-controlled at 115/70, but morning
chemistries return with a K+ is 6.8 and EKG shows peaked T
waves and widening of the QRS complex. Urgent treatment for
hyperkalemia is started.
Dx: Hyperkalemia secondary to inhibition of aldosterone
production by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and shift
of potassium out of cells by beta-blocker in the setting of
preexisting decrease of kidney clearance function and lack of
insulin.
10. Case 4: A missed treatment opportunity
A 77 y.o. man has a renal scan for assessment of hypertension
and a small area of increased tracer uptake is seen in the left
upper pole, so he is referred for a CT scan, which shows a small
undulation less than 1 cm. in size in the upper left kidney.
Repeat CT scan in 6-12 months is recommended but not done.
Three years later a repeat CT done to evaluate possible
diverticulitis shows a 1.7 cm heterogenously enhancing mass in
the posterior left upper kidney and a noncalcified subpleural
nodule in the right middle lobe. What is going on?
11. Case 4: A missed treatment opportunity
A 77 y.o. man has a renal scan for assessment of hypertension
and a small area of increased tracer uptake is seen in the left
upper pole, so he is referred for a CT scan, which shows a small
undulation less than 1 cm. in size in the upper left kidney.
Repeat CT scan in 6-12 months is recommended but not done.
Three years later a repeat CT done to evaluate possible
diverticulitis shows a 1.7 cm heterogenously enhancing mass in
the posterior left upper kidney and a noncalcified subpleural
nodule in the right middle lobe. What is going on?
Dx: The initial lesion was a renal cell carcinoma
(hypernephroma), which grew and metastasized to lung in the
subsequent three years, changing a completely curable lesion
into one with a much poorer prognosis.
