Chronic kidney disease
Male in the 90s
Chief Complaint: Dyspnea
Past Medical History: Peritonitis
Current Medical History:
He was being treated at a nearby hospital for the above diagnosis, but visited a local doctor on April 28, 2016, due to the appearance of fatigue. He was hospitalized with a high potassium level of 7.9. The potassium levels then normalized, but HOT therapy (home oxygen therapy) was started due to worsening COPD symptoms and chronic respiratory failure. He was hospitalized for continuous care due to difficulty in home care.
Treatment Outcomes:
Upon closer examination, he had a thoracoabdominal effusion.
As he had already been on medical treatment, the combination use of CUA fucoidan resulted in a decrease in thoracic ascites and oxygenation. NT-proBNP also decreased.
