ChronoChart 3K

The patient’s initial hemoglobin level was 10.2 g/dL, and her hematocrit was 32%.

REview Snapshot #1.1

ChronoChart 3K

The patient's comprehensive medical history and current symptoms are important to consider to make an informed diagnosis. The integration of her chronic conditions with presenting symptoms provides a clear, evidence-based rationale for selecting chronic kidney disease and ongong vaginal bleeding as the most likely underlying cause of her lab results.

Chronic kidney disease and ongoing vaginal bleeding

Considering her symptoms and medical history, what is the most likely underlying cause of these lab findings?

The patient’s initial hemoglobin level was 10.2 g/dL, and her hematocrit was 32%.

BNP level and serum creatinine

Which combination of these lab values most significantly contributes to her diagnosis and management plan for acute heart failure?

The patient's initial lab results showed a BNP level of 740 pg/mL, a serum creatinine of 1.4 mg/dL, hemoglobin of 10.2 g/dL, and hematocrit of 32%.

• Mary's labs show low hemoglobin and hematocrit, and her BNP signifies acute heart failure
• There is a risk of cognitive bias if focus is anchored on the heart failure and does not include an assessment of the vaginal bleeding pattern, including quality, quantity, and timing
