Question

Please help

CTA abnormal aorta w/ runoff

TBIs

Finding

Lung base: dependent atelectasis present

Liver: partially visualized, no focal lesion seen

Pancreas: few scattered punctate calcification, likely reflect chronic pancreatitis.  

Adrenal gland: unremarkable

Spleen: unremarkable

Both kidney are normal inside. 1-9 cm right renal cyst, unchanged. no hydronephrosis renal enhancement is symmetric, Nomobstructive left nhephrolith present.   Several tiny sub centimeter low density sessions too small are present. Several tiny sub centimeter low density sessions too small to characterize are present.

Reason for study because acute kidney injury. There is

reason for study because critical limb ischemic, but couldn’t find any abdominal to concern

Base on the result above please help to answer these question

1. Test,

2. Finding,

3. Why is this information needed? Explain the results and how the results relate to your patient. Include pathology and nursing considerations.

Answer 1

Here in the present scenario, we can see :

*Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is used in the evaluation of many conditions affecting the veins and arteries of the abdomen and pelvis or lower extremities. This study (Abdomen/Pelvis CTA) is useful for evaluation of the arteries/veins in the peritoneal cavity (abdominal aorta, iliac arteries) while the Abdominal Arteries CTA is more useful for the evaluation of the abdominal aorta and the vascular supply to the legs.

*Computed tomography of the lungs, pancreas, liver, Adrenal gland, Spleen, kidney.

Test results:

CTA shows that there is an abnormality in the large vessels mainly here there is an abnormality in the aorta.

The CT scan of the different organ shows:

There is an inflammation in the pancreas and injury to the kidney due to the ischemia, and as well the patient is suffered from some scattered calcification.

The pathology of the disease in the present scenario is mainly due to the decreased blood supply to the organs.
