Every heading is mentioned and photos of the patient suitable for diagnosis is attached in elog to make it easy to understand the Diagnosis
Questions :
1.Abdominal fat pad biopsy vs Renal biopsy ?

Conclusion given at last is However,combination of multiple non-invasive biopsy methods may has sensitivity comparable to organ biopsy and is safer and more convenient. [7]
2.Single DMARD vs Combination therapy ?

➡️Dilutional Hyponatremia secondary to Anasarca due to Glomerulonephritis
➡️Hyperuricemia likely due to decreased Uric Acid Excretion Precipitating Gouty Arthritis
➡️Anemia of Chronic Disease secondary to Poorly Treated Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Therapeutic solution:
Free water restriction for Hyponatremia
Tab. PREDNISOLONE P/O 20 mg OD
Tab FEBUXOSTAT P/O 80 mg OD
Haemodialysis for worsening renal dysfunction
Short case 2
Problems faced by the patient :
*progressive asymmetric involuntary movements of his right index and middle fingers.
*He says that these movements often worsened with rest and abated with activity
*involvement of his thumb and maintaining stability of his hand was proving difficult.

Diagnosis : Stage 1 is the mildest form of Parkinson’s. At this stage, there may be symptoms, but they’re not severe enough to interfere with daily tasks and overall lifestyle. In fact, the symptoms are so minimal at this stage that they’re often missed. But family and friends may notice changes in your posture, walk, or facial expressions.
A distinct symptom of stage 1 Parkinson’s is that tremors and other difficulties in movement are generally exclusive to one side of the body. Prescribed medications can work effectively to minimize and reduce symptoms at this stage.
Therapeutic solution : Treatment
1. Tab. Syndopa Plus 125 mg QID
2. Tab. Syndopa 125 mg CR OD
3. Tab. Telma 40 mg OD
4 . 4th hourly BP/PR/Temp monitoring
