She has type 1 diabetes mellitus, end-stage renal disease, and was recently started on erythropoietin for anemia. Her last hemodialysis session was yesterday. Current medications also include insulin, calcitriol, and sevelamer. She appears well. Her pulse is 68min and regular, respirations are 12min, and blood pressure is 169108 mm Hg. Her blood pressure was normal at previous visits. Examination shows normal heart sounds. There are no carotid, femoral, or abdominal bruits. The lungs are clear to auscultation. Laboratory studies show a hemoglobin concentration of 12 gdL, a serum creatinine concentration of 3.4 mgdL, and BUN of 20 mgdL. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patients hypertension?? A: Calcitriol therapy, B: Erythropoietin therapy, C: Autonomic neuropathy, D: Hypervolemia, E: Hypoglycemia,  <response>: This is a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus, end-stage renal disease, and anemia who is on hemodialysis. The key findings in the question stem are that she has recently started erythropoietin for anemia, her blood pressure was normal at previous visits but is now elevated, and she has no evidence of carotid, femoral, or abdominal bruits on exam. The choices given are potential causes of hypertension in this patient. Choice A, calcitriol therapy, can cause hypertension but is less likely in this case since she has been on it chronically. Choice B, erythropoietin therapy, is a more likely cause given that this medication was recently started. Erythropoietin can increase blood pressure by increasing blood viscosity and vascular resistance. Choice C, autonomic neuropathy, may occur with long-standing diabetes but there are no symptoms or exam findings to suggest this is the cause of her new hypertension. Choice D, hypervolemia, is unlikely given her recent hemodialysis session. Choice E, hypoglycemia, would not cause hypertension.B: Erythropoietin therapy
