17
Q

Porphyria - what is it

A

Abnormality in enzymes responsible for haem production. –> inc in intermediate products = porphyrins

18

4Ps!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Painful abdo
  • periph neuropathy
  • psychological disturbance
  • Port-wine urine

Triggers- these inc haem production:

  • EtoH
  • Starvation
  • Drugs that increase cytochrome P450
19

20
Q

Famuiilial Hypercholesteraemia

A

Adults:
-suspect if TC > 7.5
or
-FHx of Early CVD

Child:

  • 1 paret with FH - teast at 10 yrs
  • 2 parents w/ FH –> test at 5

Diagnosis - Simon broome criteria:
Adult - TC> 7.5 or LDL >4.9
Child - TC >6.7 or LDL >4.0

Definite FHx - Tendon Xanthalasma in 1/2 degree relative
Possible FHx :
- Early CVD - secondary <50 or primary <60
- FHx of high cholesterol/

Mx:

  • DONT USE QRISK
  • Riferral –> high dose statins
  • Screen family

remember - stop stating 3/12 before conception

21
Q

Hyperlipidaemia xanthomata

A

Palmar:

  • Remnant hyperlipidaemia
  • (FH)

Eruptive - multiple red/yellow vesicles one xtensor surface
- Familial hypercholesterolaemia

Tendon/tuberous/Xanthelasma:

  • Familial
  • (remnant)

Mx:

  • electro-dissection
22
Q

  • yellow palmar creas
    e- palmar xanthomata
  • tendon xanthomata

Mx - FIBRATES

23
Q

24
Q

Hyperlipidaemia Mx - primary prevention who gets it

A

<85 + QERISK >10%

DB1 + 1 of:

  • > 40 yrs
  • dx >10 yrs
  • CVD
  • NEphrotic

CKD

MX:

1) lifestyle
2) Atorvostatin 20mg

f/u in 3/12 –> in non-HDL fall by <40% and eGFR >30 –> increase dose

25
Hyperlipidaemia - Qrisk understimates if:
HIV mental health drugs --> dyslipidaemia = antipsych/steroids/IS AI diseases.
26
specialist referral for hyperlipidaemia
Familial hypercholesterolaemia Lipid >9.6 or non-HDL >7.5
27
Secondary prevention
if Known IHD or Cerber o-vasc dx or PAD - Atorvastatin 80mg
28
Statins - MOA
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. = rate limit step in cholesterol syynth ,. S.e.: - Myopathy - RF = old femal = thin with multisystem dx - more common with atorvo/simvastatin --> therefore put on prava/rovustatin - Liver impaiurment - Check LFT @ BL, 3/12 and 12/12 - Discontinue if transaminase >3x ULN!!!! CI --> MAcrolides - erythro/clarithromycin --> increased myopathy
29
Ezetimibe MOA
deecreasesd cholesterol abs in SI Ezetimibe = 1st line if HIGH CHOL + STATIN CI/NOT TOLERATED Additional to statin if: - LDL not controlled despite inc statin dose or inc dose not tolerated. - or if considering change to alt stsatin can use ezetimibe
30
Nicotinic Acid - MOA
INCREASE HDLs and decrease LDL S.e.: - Flushing IGT Myositris
31
Fibrates MOA
Used in remnant hyperlipidaemia PPAR - alpha receptor --> increase LPL activity S.e = GI + VTE RISK
32
Cholestyramine MOA
Decrease bile acid reabsorption --> Cholesterol broken down and not absorbed - mainly reduced LDL S.e: - Abdo cramp/constipation - decreas abd of fat soluble vitamins - Cholesterol gall stones - Raised TG
33
In hyperlipidaemia what medication causes increased VTE risk
Fenofibrates
34
High LDL and thyroid
Hypothyroid csn lead tohigh LDL Decreased LDL catabolism and lipoprotein lipase activity
35
Most common defects in hereditary spherocytosis
Spectrin and Ankyrin OThers: - Band 3 and protein 4.2
36
acute hyponatraemia mx
If severe symptoms e.g. CNS arrythmia etc --> 3% saline (hyoertonic) otherwise trial fluid restrict
