Case Study #4 DVT
- This patient is taking glyburide for his diabetes mellitus.
- Glyburide is protein bound via non-ionic binding, and it is metabolized in the liver to two metabolites. The action of the drug occurs within two hours and has a maximal decrease in serum glucose within three to four hours (PDR LLC , 2018).
- The two vital signs that trigger concern for DVT are the patient’s fever of 99.8 and his increased heart rate of 110.
- The BMI for this patient is 34 which would classify him as obese.
- Two risk factors for DVT: +protein C deficiency, high wbc
- Two abnormal findings consistent negative factor V Leiden mutation, homocys 91
- Three abnormalities that need to be addressed cholesterol, triglycerides, ESR
- Two drugs that may serve as initial DVT treatment is low-molecular-weight heparin, anticoagulants and thrombolytics.
- The therapy should be for about three to six months.
