A 58 yr old male with pedal oedema
This is the case i have seen
A 58 year old male daily wage labourer from vattikodu who is apparently asymptomatic 5 yrs back.
Then he developed deafness secondary to (?Tympanic membrane perforation) and was fine with it until last year when he developed on & off episodes of giddiness & headache which was attributed to hypotension by a local RMP and was treated conservatively.
(can it be ? Peripheral vertigo)
2 months back he had an episode of fever , generalized weakness & body pains for which he is using analgesics and has on and off pedal edema from then which subsided with treatment by a local RMP.
4 days back he developed pedal edema , burning micturition and SOB which gradually progressed to anasarca associated with abdominal distention , increased SOB and decreased urine output 1 day later for which he was taken to a local hospital where he was diagnosed with kidney failure and was referred to our hospital for further management.
