I have a patient with newly diagnosed PAD (new problem, w/ work up) - the doc is ordering noninvasive arterial studies (medicine test 1 prob)
THEN note states ....
however, patient will probably require invasive study, this will probably cause him to go into permanent renal insufficiency requiring permanent dialysis. If this studies are not performed, he will wind up losing both lower extremities to amputations secondary to his arterial insufficiency
What would be the associated RISK?
I'm leaning towards HIGH because threat to bodily function - process of healing - any suggestions??
