cirrhosis, gout, and a 30-pack a year smoking history presents to the emergency room

diagnosed end-stage renal disease. Physical examination reveals yellowish

discoloration to the skin and sclera, multiple bruises, 2+ bilateral edema, and weakness

lasting more than three weeks. Her medications include Glisten, a new drug for diabetes

that causes ATP sensitive potassium channels to close, thereby releasing insulin. Her

recent laboratory results are as follows:

CBC

Sodium 126 mEq/L

Glucose 220 mmol/L

Calcium 7.1 mg/dl

Red blood cell count 3.9 cells/ul

Vitals

Blood Pressure 92/64 mmHg
