Question # 108 A 32-year-old man comes to the office for a routine preemployment physical. He has been feeling well. Ten years ago, his father died suddenly at age 54. Blood pressure is 175/103 mm Hg in the right arm and 180/105 mm Hg in the left, and pulse is 82/min. BMI is 22.1 kg/m². The lungs are clear bilaterally and heart sounds are normal. Bilateral, nontender, upper abdominal masses are palpated on examination. Hemoglobin level is 15.2 g/dL and creatinine concentration is 0.8 mg/dL. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in evaluating this patient's condition?
