What are the values dx for DM?
HbA1c—> more than 6.5%
FBS: >126mg/dl
RBS: >200mg/dl with Sx of hyperglycemia
OGTT: >200mg/dl
What are the values dx for Pre-diabetics or values which increase the risk for diabetes?
HbA1c: 5.7-6.4%
FBS: 100-125mg/dl
RBS: 140-199mg/dl
OGTT: 140-199mg/dl
Important point for diabetes
If a patient is Asymp, a positive test should be reconfirmed with the same test on a d/f day for diabetes
What will be effect of intensive glycemic controlon complications of type 2 DM?
Macrovascular—–> No change
Microvascular——> decrease
No change in mortality if HbA1c is 6-7% But mortality increases if it is less than 6%
Name the test to assess the risk of diabetic foot ulcer
Monofilament test is used to document peripheral sensoryneuropathy
What are the d/f in lab values of DKA and HONK?
DKA::
Glucose is 250-500mg/dl with increased Anion gap
low Bicarb with positiveserum ketones and decreased Serum osmolality
HONK::
Glucose is 600mg/dl with normal Anion gap
Normal Bicarb with normal serum ketones and increased Serum osmolality
How to managed HONK?
Aggressive hydration with normal saline initially then with 0.45% saline
IV insulin
When to switch insulin route in DKA? (from IV to S/C)
When patient able to eat
RBS less than 200mg/dl
anion gap less than 12
serum HCO3 more than 15
Name the diabetic medications which can be used in renal insufficiency
Piogiltazone
DPP-IV inhibitors (Sitagliptin)
Name the diabetic medications which decreased the body weight
GLP-1 receptor agonist (Exenatide)
Name the diabetic medications which are weight neural
Metformin
DPP-IV inhibitors (Sitagliptin)
Name the diabetic medication which increased the weight
Pioglitazone (TZDs)
Sulfonylureas
Important point of diabetic medication
Add Sulfonylureas when metformin failed Add Pioglitazone (TZDs) when both metformin and Sulfonylureas not tolerate
Why is serum sodium level high in central DI?
Thirst mechanism also disturbed in central DI result intake of water is low
whereas in nephrogenic DI, thirst mechanism is intact so serum sodium level is normal
Important point of DI and primary polydipsia
DI—-> Euvolemic hypernatremia
Primary polydipsia——> Euvolemic hyponatremia
Name the medications which can cause diabetes insipidus and other causes
Lithium Demeclocyline foscarnet Cidofovir amphotericin
Other cause hypercalcemia and receptor mutation
Important point of testosterone deficiency
Normal size is: length 4-7cm with volume 20-25ml
What are the absolute contraindications of COCPs?
Cirrhosis/liver cancer/Breast cancer
Hx of smoking Or IHD
Hx of venous thromboembolic disease
Stage 2 HTN
Currently smoker
Migraine with aura
Major surgery with immobilisation
Less than 3 wk postpartum
Triad of Zollinger ELLISON SYNDROME
Multiple refractory ulcer in stomach and distal part of intestine
Gastrin level more than 1000pg/ml in presence of normal gastric pH
Secretin stimulation test
How to approach Zollinger ELLISON SYNDROME ?
Check serum gastrin level off PPI therapy for 1 week
If less than <110 pg/ml——>no gastrinoma
If 110-1000pg/ml——>secretin stimulation test—> if positive—-> localise gastrinoma via imaging
If more than 1000pg/ml—->check gastric pH off PPI therapy for 1 week—->if less than 4—>localise gastrinoma via imaging
And if more than 4——> no gastrinoma
Important point of Zollinger ELLISON SYNDROME
calcium infusion study is usually reserved for patients who have gastric acid hypersecretion and are strongly suspected of having gastrinoma despite a negative secretin test.
Calcium infusion can lead to an increase in serum gastrin levels in patients with gastrinoma
Triad of GLUCAGONOMA
Diabetes mellitus
Necrolytic migratory erythema
GIT SxS like diarrhoea
Triad of VIPOMA
Secretory Watery diarrhoea with increase sodium and osmalal gap <50mOsm/kg
Low Stomach acid
Low potassium with high calcium and glucose
How to approach hyperprolactinemia in pre menopausal female?
Rule other causes and then MRI brain
If asymptomatic and size <1cm—>No treatment
If symptomatic and size >1cm—>dopamine agonist
Do surgery if size >3cm or refractory to meds
