    Brief description of basic pathophysiology of present condition(s)

    HTN: Blood pressure is a measure of how hard the blood pushes against the walls of your
    arteries as it moves through your body. Its normal for blood pressure to go up and down
    throughout the day, but if it stays up, you have high blood pressure. Another name for high
    blood pressure is hypertension. When blood pressure is high, it starts to damage the blood
    vessels, heart and kidnes. This can lead to heart attack, stroke, and other problems.

    Hematuria: Presence of blood in the urine, an indication of injury or disease of the kidney or
    some other structure of the urinary tract. The blood may become apparent during urination or
    only upon microscopic examination. Rarely, blood may appear in the urine in the absence of
    genito-urinary disease. Such instances may result from transfusion of incompatible blood, from
    severe burns, from abnormal blood conditions in which the red cells are broken down.
