Q

diabetic nephropathy

what test do you want to order to monitor?

how do you prevent this?

A
  1. check urinary albumin (spot urine albumin-to-creatinine ration or UACR at least annully)

***increased BP is associated with increased microalbuminuria***

PREVENT THIS BY ACE INHIBITOR

Q

periphreal neuropathy:

distal symmetric polyneuropathy

what is the location for this?

2 things that may occur?

A

loss of function in stocking-glove pattern; in feet because nerves most vulnerable

  • motor and sensory nerve conduction may be delayed
  • ankle jerks may be absent

periphreal neuropathy foot test ## Footnote 4 things that are decreased
1. dulled perception of **_vibration and temp_** ## Footnote 2. pain **_mild to severe, or none if very progressed_** 3. sensory neuropathy examined with **_filament_**
26
those who can't feel the filament in the foot exampl are it increased risk for what?
unprecieved neuropathic injury... ## Footnote ...since they can't feel the are more likely to get hurt and not know!
27
periphreal neuropathy: what can happen to the apperance of the foot initially? leads to?
**_clawing of the toes and displacement of the submetatarsal fat pads_** from dennervation of the small muscles of the foot ## Footnote results in altered biomechanics and increased foor pressure
28
periphreal neuropathy: charcots arthropathy
caused from 1. decreased pain/sensation 2. high food pressures 3. repetitive stress **_left untreated leads to rocker bottom deformity and ulceration_**
29
what are 4 ways to manage diabetic ulcer?
1. mechanical unloading to decrease pressure 2. debridement and abx 3. healing time ~8-10 weeks 4. prevent w/therapeutic footwear
30
what should you do for patients with loss of protective threshold?
referr to podiatry!
31
what are 6 things you wanna inspect for when doing the diabetic foot exam?
1. skin cracking 2. superficial fungal infections 3. hair growth 4. nail trimming 5. ulcers and calluses 6. joint deformities
32
diabetic foot exam: assesing blood flow 3
1. assess temp ## Footnote 2. check distal pulses - PT - DP
33
diabetic foot exam: checking neurological function
1. sensation - vibration - proprioception (up down) - monofilament test 2. ankle reflex 3. gait
34
test these locations with the microfilament

what might be the earliest sign of periphreal neuropathy?
unable to feel vibrations for at least 8 seconds
