Pre and post-prandial bile acids were elevated. The patient had a low T-4 and a low free T-4. ACTH stimulation test was within normal range. The patient was re-presented within several days for worsening PU/PD, episodes of vomiting, decreased appetite, and anorexia for the past 24 hours. Urinalysis was similar to the previous findings; urine protein:creatinine ratio was elevated at 3.6. The patient was treated with Clavamox and thyroid medication.
