ASSESSMENT:
Main Diagnosis
Essential (Primary) Hypertension (ICD10 I10): Given the symptoms and high blood pressure (156/92 mmhg), classified as stage 2. Once the organic cause of hypertension has been ruled out, such as renal, adrenal or thyroid, this diagnosis is confirmed (Codina Leik, 2015). Diagnosis is based on the clinical evaluation through history, physical examination, and routine laboratory tests to assess risk factors, reveal identifiable causes and detect target-organ damage, including evidence of cardiovascular disease (Domino et al,. 2017).
Differential diagnosis:
Ø Renal artery stenosis (ICD10 I70.1)
Ø Chronic kidney disease (ICD10 I12.9)
Ø Hyperthyroidism (ICD10 E05.90)
