Today's runWard A
Your turn
Ear, nose and throatPatient 3

A 19-year-old man is brought to A&E after a punch to the nose.

GastrointestinalPatient 2

A 40-year-old woman with Crohn's disease has had two ileal resections. She now presents with macrocytic anaemia, glossitis, and paraesthesia. What is the most likely nutritional deficiency?

Remember

Terminal ileal resection causes vitamin B12 malabsorption and requires lifelong intramuscular hydroxocobalamin replacement.

Child healthPatient 1

A 13-year-old boy with a BMI on the 98th centile has 3 weeks of left knee pain and a limp. The knee is normal. The left leg rests in external rotation and internal rotation of the hip is lost. Which diagnosis is most likely?

Remember

Knee pain with a normal knee in an overweight adolescent is a slipped upper femoral epiphysis until the hips have been examined and X-rayed.

Will you make it through?

Endocrinology

A 56-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes on dapagliflozin and metformin presents with 48 hours of vomiting and polyuria. Glucose is 9.8 mmol/L, ketones 4.2 mmol/L, pH 7.18, bicarbonate 12 mmol/L, anion gap 22. What is the most likely diagnosis?

CORRECT

This is euglycaemic DKA — anion-gap acidosis with ketosis in a patient on an SGLT2 inhibitor. SGLT2 inhibitors lower blood glucose by dumping it into the urine, masking the hyperglycaemia of DKA without preventing the underlying insulin deficiency that drives ketogenesis. HHS would show glucose >30 mmol/L with minimal ketones; metformin-induced lactic acidosis would have raised lactate rather than ketones as the gap-driver.

High yield fact Patients on SGLT2 inhibitors (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, canagliflozin) can develop DKA at glucose under 14 mmol/L. Suspect eDKA in any acutely unwell patient on these drugs and check ketones regardless of glucose.
