OUTCOME AND FOLLOW-UP
Over the course of treatment, the patient developed increasing edema due
to over-hydration. However, he was treated with diuretics at the expense
of some increase in creatinine, with edema eventually subsiding to his
baseline. He never had any respiratory symptoms or oxygen requirements
throughout this admission. He received physical therapy to assist with
ambulation. Eventually, he was discharged to a rehabilitation facility.
He has been well since then until his last follow-up four months later.
