The patient also presents with a 1-month history of abdominal pain, cramping, and bloody diarrhea consistent with worsening of her inflammatory bowel disease. Past medical history is significant for Crohns disease diagnosed 2 years ago for which she currently takes an oral medication daily and intermittently receives intravenous medication she cannot recall the name of. Her temperature is 37.0C 98.6F, blood pressure is 12090 mm Hg, pulse is 68min, respiratory rate is 14min, and oxygen saturation is 99 on room air. Physical examination reveals significant truncal weight gain. The patient has excessive facial hair in addition to purplish striae on her abdomen. Which of the following laboratory findings would most likely be found in this patient?? A: Hyperkalemia, B: Normal random blood glucose levels, C: Metabolic acidosis, D: Hypoglycemia, E: Hypokalemia,  <response>: This is a medical question about a 38-year-old woman with Crohns disease who is presenting with weight gain, abdominal pain, cramping, and bloody diarrhea. The key details in the stem are the history of Crohns disease, worsening symptoms, weight gain, excessive facial hair, and purplish striae on her abdomen. The question asks which laboratory finding would most likely be present in this patient. Based on the clinical presentation, the excessive weight gain, facial hair, and striae point towards Cushings syndrome, which can be caused by prolonged glucocorticoid treatment. Glucocorticoids like prednisone are commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions like Crohns disease. Therefore, the lab finding most consistent with Cushings syndrome due to glucocorticoid use would be hypokalemia, or low potassium levels. This is a common electrolyte abnormality seen in Cushings syndrome. The other answer choices do not fit with the clinical scenario described.E: Hypokalemia
