24.7.2013(diabetology CME) Flashcards
C peptide assay in CKD
Not accurate
Metabolism of exogenous and endogenous insulin
Liver extracts 40-50% of endogenous insulin
Exogenous insulin is primarily eliminated by kidney
Course of diabetes in CKD
Initially- insulin resistance
Later- insulin requirement decreases due to poor clearance
Why HbA1c estimation is not accurate in CKD?
Reduced life span of RBC
increased erythropoiesis and Reticulocytosis in CKD Rx with erythropoietin
Metabolic acidosis
Goal HbA1C in diabetics
Does not differ in CKD
Safe SUR in CKD
Glipizide
Safe even if crcl is less than 30ml/min
Meglitinide that can be used in CKD
Repaglinide
Nateglinide metabolite accumulates in renal failure
Metformin and CKD
Metformin is contraindicated in renal failure due to risk of lactic acidosis(FDA)
Can be used if eGFR more than 30ml/min/1.73m2(NICE)
Thiazelidenidiones and CKD
Adverse effects are increased
Fractures
CCF
Insulin dosing in CKD
Greater than 50ml/min - no dose adjustment
10-50ml/min- 75% of required dose
Less than 10ml/min- 50% of required dose
Rx of DM2 in CKD
Initial oral agent : Glipizide 2.5-10mg
Or
Repaglinide
In pts on hemodialysis,start with insulin
DPP4 inhibitor that can be used in renal failure
Linagliptin
Effect of diabetes on CAD in females
Completely cancels hormonal protection in females
Incidence of CVS diseases more in diabetic females than diabetic males
Occurrence of CAD in diabetics
Occurs a decade earlier
HOMA-IR
Serum insulin*serum glucose/22.5
1 unit increase in IR increases the risk of CAD by 5%
Anti atherogenic substance that is low in diabetics
Adiponectin
CAD risk factors in DM1 and DM2
DM1- hyperglycaemia
DM2-insulin resistance
CAD in DM1
Risk starts only from diagnosis
Coronary occlusion in DM
Multisegment
Non DM- discrete
GLP1 analogues and heart
Improve LV function
Rheumatological manifestations are common in which type of diabetes?
DM1
Rheumatologic condition specific to diabetes ?
Diabetic muscle infarction
Stiff hand syndrome
Diabetic cheiroarthropathy LJM syndrome(limited joint movement)
Signs in LJM syndrome
Prayer sign
Pebble hand
Intralesional steroid site in trigger finger?
Palpate nodule along MCP area
Dupuytren contracture commonly involves which finger
4th finger
Rx for Dupuytren contracture
Radiation
Needle aponeurotomy
Collagenase injection
Hand Sx
Carpal compression test
Durkan test
Adhesive capsulitis
Reversible contracture of joint capsule
Stages of frozen shoulder
S1: freezing or painful stage(6wks to 9 months)
S2: frozen or adhesive stage(4-9 months)
S3: thawing stage(5-26 months)
Frozen shoulder is aggravated by
Rest
Rx of frozen shoulder
NSAIDS
analgesics
Intra articular steroids
CRPS,synonyms
Complex regional pain syndrome
Shoulder hand syndrome
X ray finding in CRPS
Transient Patchy osteoporosis
CNS involvement in CRPS
Limbic system
Depression and suicide are common
CRPS
U/L abnormal sensitivity to temperature,touch,vasomotor instability
