It's 🥶 & we're coming across many cases of peripheral ischemia/gangrene
🔢The semiology of seizures is what we are all taught, but gangrene is another condition where history is the king 👑
🔁It's essentially a demand≠supply mismatch

The 📝 goes on & so that we can save ⏳ & 💰 on the tests, I like to broadly divide the pathology into:
1️⃣Luminal: atherothrombosis, thrombosis (APLA, DIC), cryofibrinogenemia
2️⃣Vessel wall: vasculitis (ANCA, PAN, SLE),vasculopathy (scleroderma spectrum)
3️⃣External compression

Q1️⃣: How was the onset?
🐌Insidious onset, gradual progression is the most common
➡️peripheral vascular disease
➡️most vasculitides
➡️vasculopathy

Offering #dialysis to patients with a new diagnosis of #malignancy is always an emotive and complex affair if they present with an #AKI or #renaldysfunction
Sometimes it’s pretty clear - like in the 30 something who presents with a cervical cancer , bilateral hydronephrosis and K of 7- one will usually explain to The patient what’s the issue and buy them time for intervention which buys time for an oncology consult and further mx

Hi hi hi. We see lots of red flags on a daily basis when we review labs.
One thing we see commonly is #lymphopenia. Should we care? When can we dismiss it and when should we work it up?
Let’s find out.

- Lymphopenia assc w/ ⬆️risk of sepsis
- More common in elderly and w/ co-morbidities
- lymphs account for 20-40% of WBC, may go unnoticed when WBC checked w/o diff
- Primary- recurrent infxns in kids, CVID in adults
- Secondary-⬇️production; ⬆️destruction; hiding in tissue
