Episode 316: Peripheral Neuropathy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Memcast, we are joined by Dr Ambrose, Consultant Neurologist at Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, to work through a practical approach to peripheral neuropathy. We discuss how to phenotype neuropathy before investigating it, using the clinical history and examination to distinguish patterns such as length-dependent polyneuropathy, demyelinating and axonal neuropathies, mononeuritis multiplex, GBS, CIDP and inherited neuropathies such as Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease.
Episode 315: Skin and connective tissue disease (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we discuss key skin findings that can be clues to potential connective tissue disease. Conditions discussed include sarcoidosis, dermatomyositis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Episode 314: Intrinsic renal disease part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of MEMcast, we explore intrinsic kidney disease, both as a distinct disorder and as part of the continuum. We discuss how to differentiate pre-renal, intrinsic and post-renal causes of AKI, the clinical features that should raise suspicion of intrinsic renal disease, and important clues.
Episode 313: Hyperparathyroidism part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of MEMcast, we delve deeper into secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease, taking a practical approach to its investigation and management, including phosphate control, vitamin D therapy, calcimimetics and parathyroidectomy. We also explore the key differences between primary, secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism, and the biochemical and clinical features that help distinguish between them.
Episode 312: Secondary hyperparathyroidism part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of MEMcast, we explore secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease, a common but sometimes challenging complication of CKD. We break down why PTH rises as kidney function declines, explore the relationship between calcium, phosphate, vitamin D and PTH, and discuss how to recognise, investigate and manage these abnormalities in clinical practice.
