Description
Patient History An obese 66-year-old male presented to an outpatient center with generalized weakness, fatigue, thirty-five pound weight loss, shortness of breath, lower extremity edema, and oliguria. The patient had a medical history of coronary artery disease (status post coronary artery bypass graft), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, malnutrition, alcoholism, chronic renal disease and RCC. Two weeks later, the patient was transferred to a large medical center presenting with acute and chronic renal failure, lethargy, edema in both legs, and elevated liver function tests. While in the hospital, the patient experienced respiratory failure, right lower extremity cellulitis, sepsis, multi-organ failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and several hypotensive and tachycardic episodes. One week later, the patient was not responding to treatment. His family stopped supportive therapy, and he died later that day. An autopsy revealed a tumor in the right kidney, which extended into the perinephric fat with metastases to the liver and lungs. The heart revealed fibrosis from an earlier myocardial infarction.
