A

Refer to urology if haematuria / cystitis

21
Q

Complications of vasculitis

A

Progress to ESRF

22
Q

What is MM

A

Monoclonal proliferation of plasma cell

Produce excess of Ig and light chains

23
Q

A 
Anaemia
Back pain
Weight loss
Fractures
Infection
Cord compression
Elevated ESR
Hypercalcaemia 
Renal failure
24
Q

How do you Dx MM

A 
Bone marrow aspirate = diagnostic 
Serum paraprotein / light chain
Electrophoresis + immunofixation 
Urinary bench jones protein
Skeletal survey
25
Q

What does aspiration show

A

> 10% clonal plasma cells

26
Q

How do you treat

A

Fluid + biphosphonate for hypercalcaemia
Plasma exchange to remove light chains
Myeloma Rx

27
Q

Why should you be careful with biphosphonates

A

if eGFR <30

28

Warfarin
Vascular procedures
Nephrotoxic drugs
34
Q

When would you use diuretics in kidney disease

A

If HF is the reason for the kidney issue

35
Q

How should you investigate systemic disease

A 
Urinanalysis
Urine culture
Bloods 
Specific - ANA/ ANCA / complement
