A 55-year-old banker has developed chronic kidney disease as a result of hypertension. His condition was discovered several years ago, when routine laboratory tests revealed elevated serum creatinine and BUN levels. Since then, he has been taking antihypertensive medications and restricting dietary sodium; he reported difficulty following the low-protein diet that was also prescribed. The patient recently visited his doctor with complaints of low urine output and reduced sensation in his hands and feet. He also reported feeling drowsy at work and mentioned that he was bruising more than usual. The examination revealed a 9-pound weight gain since his last visit and swelling in his ankles and feet. Tests revealed that his GFR had fallen to 10 milliliters per minute. The patient is 5 feet 8 inches tall and normally weighs 160 pounds.
