Question 4:
A 35-year-old man has been treated for hypertension and a slightly elevated creatinine level. A fasting lipid panel 3 years earlier revealed a total cholesterol level of 246 mg/dL, but he declined treatment. His blood pressure has been elevated since he was 23 (then 150/98 mm Hg); he has been taking lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide. His blood pressure is now 148/100 mm Hg, and his BMI is 24 kg/m2. ECG findings are consistent with LV hypertrophy and “strain pattern.” His estimated GFR is 59 mL/min, which-together with data from 6 months earlier-classifies him as having stage 3 chronic kidney disease. A renal ultrasonogram was obtained.
