Overview
This section provides a short and straight to the point overview of the disease or symptom. The first sentence of the overview must contain the name of the disease.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions that may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Diabetic foot superseded with the following may result in sepsis and death. [1]
- Infected diabetic foot
- Osteomyelitis
Common Causes
- Poor glycemic control
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Peripheral arterial disease
- Peripheral ischemia
- Improper footwear
- Foot deformities including Charcot arthropathy [1] [2] [3]
Diagnosis
Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the diagnosis of [[disease name]] according the the [...] guidelines.
Characterize the symptoms: ❑ Onset ❑ Type of sensation ❑ Location ❑ Nocturnal variation ❑ Aggravating factors ❑ Relieving factors ❑ Bleeding ❑ Headaches ❑ Abdominal pain ❑ Visual disturbances ❑ Weight loss ❑ Night sweats ❑ Bone pain Obtain a detailed history: ❑ Onset of diabetes ❑ Duration of diabetes ❑ Compliance with medication ❑ History of glycemic control ❑ History of other diabetic complcatios ❑ Foot deformities/injuries/ulcers ❑ History of claudication ❑ Smoking history ❑ Chronic alcohol use ❑ Recent hospitalization ❑ Recent organ transplantation ❑ Recent valve replacement surgery ❑ Dietary habits ❑ Sexual history ❑ Ingestion of quinine containing beverages | |||||||||||||
Examine the patient: ❑ Bleeding location ❑ Bleeding severity ❑ Hepatomegaly ❑ Splenomegaly ❑ Mucocutaneous bleeding ❑ Skeletal abnormalities ❑ Joint or soft tissue bleeding ❑ Rash ❑ Generalized lymphadenopathy ❑ Skin necrosis ❑ Neurological exam | |||||||||||||
Order tests: ❑ Peripheral blood smear ❑ CBC and differential ❑ Reticulocyte count ❑ LDH ❑ LFT ❑ Renal function test ❑ Clotting screen
| |||||||||||||
❑ Order additional tests based on the results of the CBC-D and peripheral blood smear | |||||||||||||
Possible Pseudothrombocytopenia ❑ Clumped platelets | True thrombocytopenia | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
❑ Order platelet count on heparinized blood specimen | Isolated thrombocytopenia | Thrombocytopenia with abnormalities in other blood lineages | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Guide your next step by specific findings | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Consider: | Look for: ❑ Schistocytes ❑ Spherocytes ❑ Dacrocytes ❑ Blasts ❑ Giant platelets ❑ Granulations ❑ Hypersegmented neutrophils ❑ Macrocytosis ❑ Lymphocytosis ❑ Neutropenia | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
