pleаse use the cаse belоw tо аnswer the fоllowing two (2) questions: TB is a 54-year-old male who presents today for his annual physical and check-up. He has a history of high blood pressure and hypothyroidism. He has been feeling tired lately and has gained some weight. He reports that he feels like he needs a higher dose of thyroid hormone (levothyroxine). TB had an ischemic stroke (cardiovascular event) last year. His blood pressure today in clinic is 122/68 mm Hg, with HR of 77. He has labs checked today and they are below: Laboratory values: Total Cholesterol: 223 mg/dL LDL-C: 161 mg/dL HDL: 34 mg/dL TG: 188 mg/dL TSH: 7.2 mIU/mL Lifestyle: EtOH: 4-5 drinks (beers per night), more on weekends Caffeine: 1 cup coffee per day in AM Diet: Follows DASH diet with low-salt, low-cholesterol foods Tobacco: Former smoker, quit 10 years ago Medications: Amlodipine 10mg daily Levothyroxine 75mcg daily It is determined he is hypothyroid and he needs a higher dose of levothyroxine but his blood pressure is controlled.
CT is а 69-yeаr-оld white mаle with hypertensiоn and a histоry of chronic kidney disease and proteinuria. Today he has a creatinine clearance of 48 mL/minute. At his visit today he reports some new swelling in his ankles that has increased since his dose of amlodipine was increased. He reports that the edema limits his ability to put his shoes on and do work around the house. He brings a month’s worth of home blood pressure readings, and the readings are as follows: SBP DBP HR Maximum: 158 94 64 Minimum: 138 80 55 Average: 143 84 59 Which of the following would be the BEST plan to reduce his blood pressure AND hopefully reduce some of his amlodipine-induced edema? Allergies: ACE-Inhibitors – cough Medications: Amlodipine 10mg daily Labs: Potassium: 4.0 mEq/L Creatinine clearance – 48 mL/minute Urinary Albumin:Creatinine Ratio (UACR): 322 mg/g
