This is an online e-log platform to discuss case scenarios of a patient with their guardian's permission.
The below link is used as a reference
Question1:

Long case

He has been diagnosed to have Acute Glomerulonephritis

Localisation of Acute and chronic problem with different provisional diagnosis is done well leading to specify the condition and make the progression of treatment easy.

Features leading to diagnose Acute Glomerulonephritis has been mentioned well like

1.Hypertension(secondary in Glomerulonephritis)

2. Serum albumin/total proteins etc..

Short case

1.The examination iof each and every system is done clearly especially sensory and motor system 

Patient is diagnosed as1.idiopathic Parkinson's disease  stage 1with denevoHTN 2.Multiple system atrophy_patkinsonism type MSA-P

Case 2: even 8n this case they mentioned clear examination of each system which Is to easy to diagnose the problem

Patient is diagnosed with Iatrogenic cushings syndrome secondary to topical clobetasol application all over body for approximately 1yr 

Question 2:

ACUTE GLOMERULONEPHRITIS (long case)

Problems:
1. Anasarca(generalized swelling in the whole body)
2. Oliguria (decreased urine output)
3. Decreased serum albumin leading to decreased oncotic pressure resulting in generalized anasarca
4. Features of hypertension 
The above mentioned features leads us to diagnosis of Acute Glomerulonephritis.
 
Treatment:
1.Free water restriction for hyponatremia
2. Haemodialysis performed to cure oliguria and to prevent the worsening of kidney function. 

PARKINSONS DISEASE (Short case)

Problems:
Involuntary movements - Resting tremors of Right upper limb , 3-4Hz, high amplitude.
Postural hypotension _autonomic feature
Hypersonia of the right wrist Cogwheel rigidity

Treatment:

1. Tab. Syndopa Plus 125 mg QID
2. Tab. Syndopa 125 mg CR OD
3. Tab. Telma 40 mg OD

Question 3:

Long case:

The presence of frothy urine and edema strongly supports a glomerular pathology due to significant loss of protein and also decreased urine output. Lead to diagnosis of Acute Glomerulonephritis. 

Short case:
Involuntary movements - Resting tremors of Right upper limb , 3-4Hz, high amplitude.

Gait - Reduced arm swing.
Lead to diagnosis of parkinsons disease

Question 5: making blogs is intresting as we don't even have chance to get touch with the patients directly due to this pandemic.This became possible only due to GM department
