Complete Blood Count Anemia – Low RBC, Hgb, Hct – Due to insufficient production of EPO by the diseased kidneys (CKD stage 3) Thrombocytosis – Occurs as an acute phase response to infection Leukocytosis – With predominance of neutrophils connotes active bacterial infection

SGPT-ALT37.8U/L0-31 SGOT-AST55.3U/L0-38 Creatinine5.23.5mgl/dL Sodium130mmol/L Potassium5.4mmol/L AST/ ALT - Active liver insult probably drug induced (aspirin) Creatinine - Impaired Filtering Capacity of the kidneys due to CKD Sodium/Potassium - Most probably due to impaired kidney function Biochemical Blood Test
ECG Sinus rhythm Left ventricular hypertrophy – pathological reaction to cardiovascular disease, or high blood pressure – increase afterload that the heart has to contract against – causes of increased afterload that can cause LVH include aortic stenosis, aortic insufficiency, and hypertension Peak T-waves – Due to hyperkalemia
