- Renal Bruits (2cm above umbilicus, either side) Summary

- The patient is Connor O’Brien, an 86-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain. I have performed an abdominal examination of which the findings are normal and there’s no peripheral stigmata of abdominal diseases. On palpation, the abdomen is soft and non-tender with no organomegaly. There is no ascites, and auscultation reveals normal bowel sounds with no abdominal aortic or renal bruits

- To follow up with the patient, I would perform a DRE (Digital Rectal Exam) and check for hernias.
