Provisional diagnosis 

Chronic kidney disease on Maintenence haemodialysis 

Where is the anatomical position of the patients problem?

It is a disease where the patient suffers from decrease in the urinary output and facial puffiness 

The anatomical position of patient's problem is in the kidney located in the renal pelvis

Why is the patient having this problem?

Chronic kidney disease is usually caused by other conditions that put a strain on the kidneys. Often it's the result of a combination of different problems.

As the patient is known case of hypertension over time, this can put strain on the small blood vessels in the kidneys and stop the kidneys working properly.

Even the area where the patient belongs has high amount of chlorine content in the water which may also be the cause of the patients kidney failure.

What are we doing?(treatment)

The patient was given blood transfusion due to low platelet count and anemia

Haemodialysis on a regular basis(2times a week) through internal jugular vein is being done for the last one month.

Tests done:

Haemogram

Dengue NS1 antigen
