Clinical application of standardized diagnosis and treatment of orthostatic hypotension in a patient with diabetes mellitus and orthostatic hypotension: a case report
To analyze the clinical diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) comorbid with orthostatic hypotension(OH) jointly diagnosed and treated by Department of Neurology and Department of Rehabilitation Medicine.
Methods
2
By reviewing the diagnosis,treatment,and follow-up data of the patient,this article introduced the clinical application of the diagnostic pathway recommended in Chinese Multidisciplinary Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Management of Orthostatic Hypotension,as well as the application effect of the “four-step management approach” in this patient.
Results
2
A comprehensive and accurate localizing and etiological diagnosis of OH was established via a standardized diagnostic pathway. Following standardized management and treatment of OH, the patient’s orthostatic intolerance was markedly alleviated; muscle strength, balance function, and activities of daily living were significantly improved, with a substantial enhancement in quality of life.
Conclusion
2
The standardized diagnosis and treatment pathway of OH and the application of the “four-step management approach” have important clinical significance and value in patients with complex comorbidities of T2DM and OH.
