67/F with SOB & decreased urine output

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. 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.


Case history:
A 67 year old female resident of  came with the complaints of SOB since yesterday night. 

History of present illness:
Patient was apparently asymptomatic 2 years back. She had complaints of decreased urine output, B/L pedal edema, SOB and facial puffiness for 1 month. She also developed altered sensorium for 2 days for which she was taken to a local hospital and was diagnosed with renal failure with heart failure. She was on conservative management. Later, (due to recurrent symptoms) She had undergone 2 dialysis and a blood transfusion due to low haemoglobin after her symptoms relieved. Then she came to KIMS, Narketpally for further dialysis as suggested by her Doctor.

 She had pedal edema, altered sensorium and no urine output since past 3 days. Later she developed SOB (yesterday night)which gradually progressed to the state she was brought in. Aggravated on lying down and slightly relieved in sitting.
