labs, and then told me that "kidneys are failing," something about
a big change in my creatinine and that I needed to come to the
emergency department. He told me to bring the test results here
with me. [Test results today: creatinine 3.2 mg/dL; 1 month ago
Test results 1.1 mg/dL; urine protein = 400 mg microalbuminuria]
Do you understand what all that means? I sure don't!"

despite normal appetite and exercise? Uh… no.

• Has there been a change in your urination frequency? Actually,
I have been peening less recently.
• What is the color of urine, has it changed recently? It's
usually fine, but I have been peeing less recently
• Does anything make your fatigue/tiredness better or worse? No.
• Do you have pain anywhere? If so where? I hurt my back
last week, but that's fine now.
• Have you noticed swelling in any part of your body? No
• Can you tell me about any current or past medical problems she
had? I have high blood pressure. I take medications for that. I
was told last month my blood pressure has caused some kidney
damage. Something about my protein in my urine. Oh, about a
week ago I pulled my back lifting a heavy carton when I was
cleaning out my garage. It was pretty painful so I took something
for the pain. My back is really pretty good right now, but then
this nausea vomiting began.
• Any previous medical, surgical, or dental procedures? Yes. I had
my tonsils out as a kid and then my appendix out about 35
years ago now.
• What treatments have you had for the pain in your back? Just Naproxen.
• Are you taking any prescription medications? I take
lisinopril, metoprolol, and hydrochlorothiazide for BP. I have
not taken anything for the last 24 hours because I feel so sick,
can’t keep the pills down.
