Roll no. 75
A 45 yr old male welder by occupation resident of suryapet came to opd with chief complaints of swelling in leg since 2 months and difficulty in breathing since 10 days.
HOPI-
Patient was apparently asymptomatic 3yrs ago. Then he developed swelling in both legs till mid thigh and facial puffiness for which he visited our hospital . He stayed here for 6 days and was on medication and his swelling was subsided.
He went back home.
But 10 days later he had again swelling on both legs till hip joint so he was taken to a hospital in the city there after a series of test he was found to be having kidney failure. He was given 12 dialysis for alternate days and was sent back home to continue dialysis in his native place.
He went to 'A' hospital in his native place where his creatinine levels were found to be low and he was told to not have dialysis and sent back home.
He was at home retired with intermittent swelling on both legs for 2.5 yrs with the line used for dialysis still attached to his chest (which was kept when he was in city hospital) and he had intermittent swelling on legs.
But his line was detached and also as he had swelling on both legs he went to govt hospital in his hometown where because of low creatine levels he was sent back. So patient went to private hospital in his home town where they reattached line for dialysis on his hand and started him on dialysis like 1-2 months ago. He was given 10 dialysis on alternate days but there was no reduced swelling on leg and he started having difficulty in breathing and hypertension so he was referred to our hospital.
On his was here after having his breakfast he was having difficulty in breathing(grade 4)and was taken to emergency care in our hospital.
