Presentation Transcript

  1. ANCILLARY PROCEDURES

  2. Complete Blood Count • Anemia • Low RBC, Hgb, Hct • Due to insufficient production of EPO by the diseased kidneys (CKD stage 3) • Thrombocytosis • Occurs as an acute phase response to infection • Leukocytosis • With predominance of neutrophils connotes active bacterial infection

  3. Biochemical Blood Test • AST/ ALT - Active liver insult probably drug induced (aspirin) • Creatinine - Impaired Filtering Capacity of the kidneys due to CKD • Sodium/Potassium - Most probably due to impaired kidney function

  4. ECG • Sinus rhythm • Left ventricular hypertrophy • pathological reaction to cardiovascular disease, or high blood pressure • increase afterload that the heart has to contract against • causes of increased afterload that can cause LVH include aortic stenosis, aortic insufficiency, and hypertension • Peak T-waves • Due to hyperkalemia

  5. Other lab exams
