Q

Describe the difference in onset of pre-eclampsia versus HTN of pregnancy

A

HTN presents in the first 20 weeks mother often will have history of (essential) HTN

Pre-eclampsia: de novo HTN and develops after 20 weeks (although occurs due to remodelling of spiral arteries which starts at the beginning of pregnancy)

Surina Folkes, 22, has a history of Crohn’s disease. She presents to her GP with fatigue, shortness of breath on exertion in addition to pins and needles in her fingers. On examination, she is noticed to have pale conjunctiva and atrophic glossitis.

As part of her work-up, you send off a set of bloods which reveal the following results:

Hb 80 (g/l)
MCV 120 (82-100 fl)
Ferritin 100 (20-230 ng/ml)
What is the most likely diagnosis?

Vitamin B12 deficiency
Iron deficiency anaemia
Anaemia of chronic disease
Sideroblastic anaemia
Folate deficiency

MCV 120 (82-100 fl)
Ferritin 100 (20-230 ng/ml)
What is the most likely diagnosis?

Vitamin B12 deficiency
Crohn’s disease often affects the terminal ileum where vitamin B12 is absorbed. It may, therefore, cause a deficiency which presents with macrocytic anaemia. Notably, B12 is also important in maintaining the nervous system so a deficiency may present with neurological symptoms.

Iron deficiency anaemia
Anaemia of chronic disease
Sideroblastic anaemia
Folate deficiency

Which of the following blood results is most likely to be low?

T4
Hypothyroidism is a recognised cause of menorrhagia or abnormally heavy bleeding during menstruation. There is an association between autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) and other autoimmune diseases, such as this lady’s Diabetes Type 1. She also has signs suggesting hypothyroidism such as low mood and weight gain. The correct answer is, therefore, T4, which would be low in hypothyroidism.

Testosterone
TSH
Folate

Q

A 64-year-old lady with a BMI of 37 presents to you complaining of incontinence. She has previously had two children, both were delivered vaginally and the first required forceps due to slow progression of the second stage of labour.

A 64-year-old lady with a BMI of 37 presents to you complaining of incontinence. She has previously had two children, both were delivered vaginally and the first required forceps due to slow progression of the second stage of labour. She takes no regular medication and has no other significant past medical history.

Given her risk factors, which type of urinary incontinence is she most likely to suffer from?

Overflow incontinence
Mixed inctontinence
Urge incontinence
Stress incontinence

Due to her previous forceps delivery, she is most likely to be suffering from stress incontinence. Stress incontinence is the loss of urine associated with a rise in intra abdominal pressure such as coughing or sneezing. Risk factors include increasing age, traumatic vaginal delivery, obesity, and previous pelvic surgery.

Q

A 55-year-old overweight man with a background of type 2 diabetes presents to the GP with tiredness. He is otherwise well and does not smoke or drink alcohol. Bloods reveal an elevated ALT and AST. The rest of his blood results are normal. An ultrasound scan of his liver is reported as ‘echobright’ with no focal areas of abnormality.

What is the most likely diagnosis?

Hepatocellular carcinoma
Pancreatic cancer
Gilbert’s syndrome
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Acute viral hepatitis

The rest of his blood results are normal. An ultrasound scan of his liver is reported as ‘echobright’ with no focal areas of abnormality.

What is the most likely diagnosis?

Hepatocellular carcinoma
Pancreatic cancer
Gilbert’s syndrome
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

This patient is middle aged, overweight and has type 2 diabetes. This puts him at risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which causes raised liver transaminases (ALT and AST) and otherwise normal bloods. The only way to distinguish this from alcoholic liver disease is the alcohol intake and, as this patient does not drink, it suggests that NAFLD is the diagnosis. Management is through risk factor modification which would include weight loss.

If NAFLD is not managed, it leads to a risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma. This gentleman’s ultrasound, however, only showed the early ‘echobright’ stage of NAFLD and no evidence of any masses.

Acute viral hepatitis

48
Q

Out of metformin and gliclazide, which causes hypoglycaemia and why? [2]

A

gliclazide: Gliclazide is an insulin secretagogue, increasing the amount of endogenous insulin produced. Sometimes too much Insulin can be secreted, resulting in hypoglycaemia

Metformin is an insulin sensitiser and therefore makes the amount of insulin in the body more effective. While metformin reduces average blood sugars it very rarely causes hypoglycaemia. Therefore reducing the offending drug, gliclazide, is the most appropriate management option.

50
Q

A 32-year-old male presents to the emergency department with bilateral flank pain and red coloured urine. Approximately five days ago he experienced a sore throat with nasal discharge. He has no pertinent family medical history and no chronic medical problems. He denies smoking and is an occasional alcohol drinker. Review of systems is unremarkable.

His observations are as follows:

Blood pressure: 125/65 mmHg
Pulse: 88 BPM
Temperature: 37.4 °C
Respiratory rate: 15 breaths per minute
On physical examination, he has bilateral mild flank tenderness but the remainder of the physical examination is normal. Laboratory investigations demonstrate a normal full blood count and chemistry panel. The urine dipstick is positive for blood and protein but shows no signs of white blood cells or nitrites. Further examination of the urine reveals red blood cell casts. A CT KUB scan of the abdomen and pelvis in the emergency department is also normal.

What is the most likely diagnosis?

IgA nephropathy
Alport syndrome
Minimal change disease
Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis
Kidney stones

Q

A 50-year-old woman undergoing routine health screening is found to have the following liver function results:

ALP 210 umol/L
ALT 28 iu/L
AST 25 iu/L
Bilirubin 15 umol/L
GGT 110 u/L
Albumin 45 g/L
She mentions she has been getting increasingly tired over several years but assumed it was due to age and stress. She has no past medical history of note and drinks 6 units of alcohol a week. On examination, there are some excoriations and xanthelasma around her eyes, but nil else of note.

What is the most likely diagnosis?

Biliary colic
Ascending cholangitis
Liver cirrhosis
Hepatic carcinoma
Primary biliary cirrhosis

A

Biliary colic
Ascending cholangitis
Liver cirrhosis
Hepatic carcinoma
Primary biliary cirrhosis

Ascending cholangitis would typically have fever and pain
Malignancy would usually feature weight loss and general malaise
Biliary colic would feature pain

This leaves two potential diagnoses: primary biliary cirrhosis or liver cirrhosis. There are no risk factors for liver cirrhosis and her LFTs do not show a hepatitic pattern of derangement (AST, ALT, bilirubin, albumin all normal). The raised ALP and GGT suggest a cholestatic picture, making primary biliary cirrhosis (also known as primary biliary cholangitis) the most likely diagnosis
