ASSESSMENT:
Main Diagnosis
Essential (Primary) Hypertension (ICD10 I10): Given the symptoms and high blood pressure
(156/92 mmhg), classified as stage 2. Once the organic cause of hypertension has been ruled out,
such as renal, adrenal or thyroid, this diagnosis is confirmed (Codina Leik, 2015). Diagnosis is
based on the clinical evaluation through history, physical examination, and routine laboratory
tests to assess risk factors, reveal identifiable causes and detect target-organ damage, including
evidence of cardiovascular disease (Domino et al,. 2017).
Differential diagnosis:
Renal artery stenosis (ICD10 I70.1)
Chronic kidney disease (ICD10 I12.9)
Hyperthyroidism (ICD10 E05.90)
PLAN:
Labs and Diagnostic Test to be ordered:
CMP
Complete blood count (CBC)
Lipid profile
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Urinalysis with Micro
Electrocardiogram (EKG 12 lead)
Pharmacological treatment:
Hydrochlorothiazide tab 25 mg, Initial dose: 25 mg orally once daily.
Lisinopril 10mg PO Daily
Non-Pharmacologic treatment:
Weight loss
Healthy diet (DASH dietary pattern): Diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and
low-fat dairy products with reduced content of saturated and trans l fat
Reduced intake of dietary sodium: <1,500 mg/d is optimal goal but at least 1,000 mg/d
