LABORATORY DATA: CBC: WBC is elevated at 13.6, hemoglobin is low at 8, hematocrit 23 with low MCV of 70. Platelet count is 404, which is elevated. There is a left shift. Chemistry: Sodium 138, potassium is low at 2.8, chloride 106, CO2 of 26, BUN 18, creatinine 0.7, glucose is elevated at 104. AST is mildly elevated at 44, ALT 30, alkaline phosphatase 85, total bilirubin 0.7. Calcium is low at 8.2. Albumin also low at 1.8. Total protein 5.8. N-peptide is elevated at 3850; this was 55.2 previously. Cardiac enzymes showed an elevated CK of 404 and CK-MB of 8.2 Troponin is within normal limits at 0.22. Urinalysis shows cloudy appearance, 30 protein and moderate blood, otherwise negative for urinary tract infection. ABG is significant for an elevated PH of 7.52, PCO2 of 30 and PO2 of 52 as well as oxygen saturation of 90% on room air. Bicarbonate is within normal limits at 26.
DIAGNOSTIC DATA: Initial EKG showed SVT with 160 beats per minute. Repeat EKG showed sinus rhythm with 66 beats per minute with left ventricular hypertrophy, no evidence of ischemia. Telemetry showed normal sinus rhythm; however, he had a wide-complex tachycardia versus atrial fibrillation. Chest x-ray, no acute process, just only significant for mild cardiomegaly.
LABORATORY DATA: INR is 0.90. WBC 7.6, hemoglobin 15.8, hematocrit 46, platelets 229,000. LFTs completely normal. Sodium is 141, potassium 3.7, chloride 106, CO2 of 26, BUN 11, creatinine 1.1, glucose 104. Lipids; cholesterol 172, HDL 26, LDL 72, triglycerides 388. CPK is 370. Troponins are negative x3. TSH completely normal. Magnesium was 1.8, which has been repleted.
LABORATORY DATA: WBC count 12.2, hemoglobin 11.8, hematocrit 36.6, platelet count 224,000. Sodium 142, potassium 4.1, chloride 104, bicarbonate 30, glucose 150, BUN 26. LFTs are within normal limits. BNP upon admission was 262. Urinalysis revealed cloudy urine, nitrite negative, leukocyte esterase 3+, wbc’s more than 50, bacteria 3+. Urine culture obtained on admission revealed more than 100,000 colonies of Proteus mirabilis and Morganella morganii. Susceptibility reports reviewed. Morganella is resistant to all the antibiotic classes, except carbapenems and tobramycin. Proteus is pretty much susceptible to all third-generation cephalosporin and carbapenems, resistant to quinolones.

RADIOLOGIC DATA: CT scans reviewed reveals a solitary functioning left kidney, which appears to function and drain appropriately with no abnormalities. There is an atrophic right kidney. There is a normal-appearing bladder and enlarged prostate. There is a 2.6 cm mass involving the aortic bifurcation. MRI is reviewed and is consistent with the above findings. There is no urologic abnormality noted. Flexible cystoscopy performed today at the bedside reveals a normal urethra, evidence of benign prostatic hypertrophy with high tight bladder neck with blood in the prostatic fossa. Once this was washed free, there was no mucosal abnormality noted. The bladder was unremarkable with no trabeculation, no mass, erythema or other lesions noted. There was clear urine effluxing from the left ureteral orifice. There was a large intravesical component of the prostate.
