Update the supporting evidence for the assessment problems and include a plan and rationale for EACH problem in the plan. Using the Global AKI Guidelines
Align each problem with each plan properly, keeping it very organized.

“I’m here to follow up on the results of my labs”
History of Present Illness
A 38-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension (HTN), and dyslipidemia returns to her primary care physician (PCP) for a follow-up visit. At her routine physical examination 3 months ago, her annual nephropathy screening revealed a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) of 659 mg/g, which was elevated from the previous year’s screening that showed a mildly increased UACR of 145 mg/g and an SCr of 1.2 mg/dL. A second spot urine test from 1 week ago showed a persistently elevated UACR of 673 mg/g. She has returned to the office today to review her lab results and presents with no complaints. She brought with her a list of her medications and self-monitoring blood glucose readings.

Assessment
1. CKD with albuminuria (G3bA3) with inappropriate medication dosing
Supporting Evidence:
Subjective: patient does not report any complaints
Objective: worsening of SCr to 1.6 from 1.2 a year ago, eGFR of 42 mL/min (stage 3 CKD), MACR/UACR 673 up from 659 3 months ago and 145 1 year ago, CrCl = 53 mL/min
(ActualBW = 87 kg, IBW = 59.3 kg, AdjBW = 70.4 kg)
Non-pharmacologic options:
A. remove nephrotoxic agents
B. Dietary recommendations
– diet high in vegetables, fruit, whole grain, fiber, plant based proteins, unsaturated fats and nuts; low in processed meats, refined carbohydrates, and sweetened beverages
– dietary protein should be 0.8g/kg daily
– restrict sodium to < 2000 mg/day
C. Weight reduction
D. Physical exercise
E. Smoking cessation
Pharmacologic options:
A. Blood pressure management: the patient is currently above goal of < 130/80 on HCTZ therapy
Hydrochlorothiazide (current therapy)
Pros: currently tolerating therapy, efficacy with CrCl > 25-30 mL/min, first line therapy for HTN
Cons: electrolyte disturbances
ACE inhibitor (lisinopril)
Pros: slows the progression of kidney disease, first line in patients with CKD and diabetes with albuminuria
Cons: may increase SCr if not stable (AKI risk), cough, hyperkalemia, angioedema risk
ARB (losartan)
Pros: slows the progression of kidney disease,
