MSRA-0899

A 72-year-old man has been admitted to the orthopaedic ward following a left hemiarthroplasty. He has a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes and chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML).

The nurse has requested an urgent review of the patient as he is displaying signs of confusion. His blood pressure is 96/54 mmHg and his heart rate is 135 bpm. The patient has been passing 10 ml of urine an hour through his catheter and the nurse has observed that the urine in the catheter bag is bright red.

Upon examination, the patient has petechial bruising over his arms and blood is slowly oozing from his peripheral cannula. What blood test results would you anticipate?
