1 NEPHOLOGY OON LINIAL PESENTATIONS AND ADINAL ANIFESTATIONS OF ENAL DISEASES- INITIAL EVALUATION AND DEISION-AKING SKILLS GOAL: The residents will learn the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of patients with commonly encountered acute and chronic renal disorders -Asymptomatic patient renal disease prevention - Diabetes -Hypertension -Sickle cell anemia -Symptom evaluation and diagnosis -Fatigue -Anorexia -Weight gain -Pallor -Pruritus -Easy bruising -Increased thirst -Dyspnea -Nausea, vomiting -Diarrhea -Flank pain -Abdominal pain -Alterations in urine output -Hematuria -Urinary urgency, frequency -Swelling -Urinary incontinence -Urinary retention -Lethargy -Seizures -Physical examination abnormalities -Elevated blood pressure -Altered mental status -Eyelid edema -Altered breath sounds, crackles -Edema, anasarca -Flank tenderness -Abdominal mass / palpable kidney NEPHOLOGY LEANING OBJETIVES - manage as the primary physician - co-manage with subspecialist - refer to subspecialist omprehensive clinical skill development for- -History taking -Physical examination and diagnosis -Formulation of complete differential diagnosis -Decision-making for initial evaluation and management -Presentation of findings and articulation of prioritized plan -Ordering and interpretation of appropriate tests to evaluate renal function and pathology -Assessment of need for hospital admission or emergency department referral in the outpatient setting -omprehensive medical care of hospitalized patients with renal disorders -Assessment of the need for referral to subspecialist for evaluation and management -Assessment of need for continued hospitalization of inpatients with renal disorders and transition to outpatient care Learning Objectives- - esidents are expected to learn how to evaluate, diagnose and manage these conditions without subspecialist consultation. They are expected to acquire primary management experience for the majority the conditions in this category. hanges in the condition of the patient may necessitate subspecialist consultation, comanagement and subsequent referral as indicated. - esidents are expected to be able to perform the initial evaluation and establish the diagnosis of patients with these disorders who are then typically co-managed with the consultants. Subspecialist consultation is frequently needed for these conditions to interpret specialized test results, perform procedures, confirm diagnosis and advise during ongoing co-management of the patients. 1
