Polyuria, Polydipsia and Possible Diabetes Insipidus?
Discussion The body is smart. It has mechanisms for maintaining balances within the body in a closely controlled manner but allows for a variety of states. This is very true for fluid balance in the body which is highly controlled between almost all of the major body organ systems. When fluid is low, the sensor sends signals for us to drink, and conserves fluid until we can. When the fluid is high, the kidneys excrete the excess and sends signals not to drink. Usually it works very well. While there are many pathological states that can cause polyuria and/or polydipsia, the most common reason is excessive fluid intake beca...

Prevalence of Arterial Stiffness and Associated Factors in Thai Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Conclusion: Arterial stiffness was markedly raised in all groups of CKD patients with an overall prevalence of 56%. The highest prevalence of arterial stiffness was found in ESRD patients treated with HD and CAPD. It was shown that the associated factors that independently increased arterial stiffness were HD patients, KT recipients, older age and higher central MAP. PMID: 29927191 [PubMed - in process]

What Areas of the Physical Examination are Important in the Pre-participation Physical Examination?
Discussion Participation in organized or non-organized, recreational to elite sports activities can provide excellent recreational and leisure time activities and improve physical and mental health for participants. The Aspen Institute in 2018 reported that more kids are being physically active, more are trying different sports, and multisports play is increasing rather than strict specialization. Unfortunately they note that there is an economic inequality with children from lower-socioeconomic circumstances playing less organized sports. About 70% of children and youth participate in an individual or team sport, but unfo...

Diet therapy along with Nutrition Education can Improve Renal Function in People with Stages 3-4 chronic kidney disease who do not have diabetes. (A randomized controlled trial)
Br J Nutr. 2022 Jul 7:1-36. doi: 10.1017/S0007114522002094. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current trial investigates the effect of renal diet therapy and nutritional education on the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), blood pressure, and depression among patients with CKD. A total of 120 CKD patients (stages 3-4) (15<eGFR<60) were randomized into an intensive nutrition intervention group (individualized renal diet therapy plus nutrition counseling: 0.75 g protein/kg/day and 30-35 kcal/kg/day with sodium restriction) and a control group (routine and standard care) for 24 weeks. The primary outcome was th...

What Is In A Ketogenic Diet?
Discussion Epilepsy is a common problem for the general pediatrician. Its incidence is estimated at 41-87/100,000 children. While many children are controlled with medication, it is also estimated that up to 1/3 will develop drug-resistant epilepsy. Some children may have an identifiable seizure focus that may be amenable to surgery, but many others do not. One option for potential control is a ketogenic diet (KD). Indications for KD usually are for drug-resistant epilepsy including partial and complex seizure patterns as well as some metabolic disorders such as glucose transport 1 deficiency syndrome. It has also found ...

Metformin for diabetes prevention: Update of the evidence base
Curr Med Res Opin. 2021 Jul 20:1. doi: 10.1080/03007995.2021.1955667. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe have conducted a narrative review based on a structures search strategy, focussing on the effects of metformin on the progression of non-diabetic hyperglycaemia to clinical type 2 diabetes mellitus. The principal trials that demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of diabetes in at-risk populations randomised to metformin (mostly with impaired glucose tolerance [IGT]) were published mainly from 1999 to 2012. Metformin reduced the 3-year risk of diabetes by -31% in the randomised phase of the Diabetes Prevention Progr...

An audit of regular medication compliance prior to presentation for elective surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: A significant number of patients were non-compliant with their regular medication on the day of surgery. This represents a preventable source of risk that could be addressed by improved patient education or improved organisational pathways. PMID: 30116068 [PubMed - in process]

Nanocrystal-induced chronic tubular-nephropathy in tropical countries: diagnosis, mitigation, and eradication
AbstractIn tropical countries, a mysterious tubulo-interstitial chronic renal disease (CKD), unrelated to diabetes, hypertension, and immunological causes, manifested four decades ago. Approximately 25,000 primarily middle-aged male farmers succumb annually to this crystal-tubular nephropathy (CTN). Without any known causative factors, it was identified as CKD of unknown aetiology (CKDu). Because multiple factors contribute to causing it later, was changed to CKD of multi-factorial (CKDmfo). Despite no evidence, it was hypothesised to cause by agrochemicals or heavy metals in food or drinking contaminated water. However, c...
