General Medicine Internship Real Patient OSCEs Towards Optimizing Clinical Complexity
 This is an a online e log book to discuss our patient de-identified health data shared after taking his / her / guardians signed informed consent. Here we discuss our individual patients problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patients clinical problem with collective current best evident based input.
This E blog also reflects my patient centered online learning portfolio and your valuable inputs on the comment box is welcome.
I have been given this case to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of " patient clinical data analysis" to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical findings, investigations and come up with diagnosis and treatment plan
The patient/ attender was informed the purpose of the information being acquired. An informed consent was taken from patient/ attender and there is omission of information that was requested to be omitted. 
CONSENT WAS GIVEN BY BOTH PATIENT AND ATTENDERS

2. What are the possible causes of facial puffiness 
•Anemia • renal disorders 
•angioedema •hypothyroidism• Cushing syndrome 
•actinomycosis•cellulitis 
3. List out all relevant clinical investigations needed for this patient  to  make a probable diagnosis 
Hemogram: 
Chest x ray : 
4. What are the different types of AKI , LIST the different  criteria required for defining AKI ? 
Pre renal AKI 
Causes : volume loss( diarrhoea,vomitings ), cardiac issues,sepsis 
RENAL AKI : acute tubular necrosis 
                     Drugs,ischemia,snake bite ,                   contrast,tumor lysis syndrome 
Acute interstitial necrosis : drugs , infection, myeloma 
POST RENAL AKI : obstructive causes 
Old criteria : RIFLE CRITERIA  
(RISK,INJURY,FAILURE,LOSS,ESRD ). and AKIN CRITERIA
New criteria: KDIGO CRITERIA : 
Stage 1: serum creatinine: 1.5 to 1.9 times baseline and urine output  less than 0.5 ml/kg /hr for 6 to 12 hrs 
Stage 2 : serum creatinine: 2 to 2.9 times baseline and urine output  less than 0.5 ml/kg /hr for  12 hrs 
Stage 3 : serum cr > 3 times baseline ( > 4 mg/dl ) 
and urine output  less than 0.3  ml/kg /hr for  12 hrs 
5 . ORAL HYPOGLYCEMI AGENTS OHA induced HYPOGLYCEMIA is common with which  drug ? 
Management OHA INDUCED HYPOGLYCEMIA ?
Metformin and thiazolidinediones are highly associated with hypoglycemia 
Drug overdose of oha can cause severe HYPOGLYCEMIA which progresses to cerebral hypoglycemia causing severe neurological 
Injury or death .
Management: 
I.v administraton of glucose 
Management of airway , breathing and circulation 
6 . Indications for hemodialysis? Different types of dialysis ? Complications occuring during dialysis ? Dialysis dysequilibrium syndrome
Indications for hemodialysis:
Acidosis - metabolic acidosis 
Electric abnormality refractory hyperkalemia ,hypercalcaemia 
Intoxication  barbiturates, alcohol , lithium 
Overload - hypervolemia
Uremic encephalopathy, pericarditis , asterixis, seizures . 
Types of dialysis : 
Acute intermittent hemodialysis 
Continuous hemodialysis + ultrafiltration 
Peritoneal dialysis 
CAPD 
CCPD 
NIPD 
Complications during dialysis: 
Intradialytic hypotension: 
Due to volume changes 
           Cardiac factors 
         Lack of vasoconstriction 
Muscle cramps 
Dialysis dysequilibrium syndrome 
Dialysis dysequilibrium syndrome : 
Cerebral edema due to rapid removal of all the urea 
Sudden shift in osmolarity 
Water moves from blood to cerebral space . 
Reactions associated with dialysis: 
7 . What is Ckd ?   Causes of CKD ? Compications associated with  CKD 
CKD is loss of cortico medullary differentiation in kidney of size 8 to 10 cm 
Or kidney size <  8 cm 
Or kidney size > 10 cm with cmd loss In hiv , diabetes,amyloid patients 
Causes: diabetic nephropathy
        Chronic glomerulonephritis 
     CTID 
COMPLICATIONS: anemia 
CAD ( Vascular and cardiac disorders) 
Bone mineral disease 
Uremic encephalopathy
Uremic neuropathy
