Disorders Accompanying the Main Disease
D: Good afternoon, Mr. Hudson. Just have a seat. I haven't seen you for a good long time. What's brought you along here today?
P: Well doctor. I've been having these headaches and I seem to have lost some weight, and...
D: I see, and how long have these headaches been bothering you?
P: Well, I don't know. For quite a while now. The wife passed away, you know, about four months ago. And I've been feeling down since then.
D: And which part of your head is affected?
P: Just here. Just here on the top. It feels as if there were something heavy, a heavy weight pressing down on me.
D: I see, and have they affected your vision at all?
P: No, no, I wouldn't say so.
D: Not even seeing lights or black spots?
P: No, nothing like that.
D: And they haven't made you sick at all?
P: No.
D: Now you told me that you've lost some weight. What's your appetite been like?
P: Well… actually, I haven't really been feeling like eating. I've really been off my food for the moment and...
D: And what about your bowls, any problems?
P: No, no they're, I'm quite all right, no problems.
D: And what about your waterworks?
P: Well, I've been having trouble getting started and I have to, I seem to have to get up during the night, two or three times at night.
D: And has this come on recently?
P: Well, no, not exactly. I think I've noticed it gradually over the past, the past few months.
D: And do you get any pain when you're passing water?
P: No, no.
D: And have you noticed any blood, any traces of blood?
P: No, no, I can't say that I have.
Examining the Patient (Giving Commands)
D: Would you slip off your top thing, please. Now I just want to see you standing. Hands by your side. You're sticking that hip out a little bit, aren't you?
P: Yes, well, I can't strengthen up easily.
D: Could you bend down as far as you can with your knees straight and then stop when you have had enough?
P: Oh, that's the limit.
D: Not very far, is it? Stand up again. Now I would like you to lean backwards. That's not much either. Now stand straight up again. Now first of all I would like you to slide your right hand down the right side of your thigh. See how far you can go. That's fine. Now do the same thing on the opposite side. Fine. Now just come back to standing straight. Now keep your feet together just as they are. Keep your knees firm. Now try and turn both shoulders round to the right. Lock right round. Keep your knees and feet steady.
P: Oh, that's sore.
D: Go back to the center again. Now try the same thing and go round to the left side. Fine. Now back to the center. That's fine. Now would you like to get on to the couch and lie on your face?
I'm just going to find our where the sore spot is.
Consilium on Investigations
A: An ECG is essential because it will show any changes in the heart: axis, ischaemia, left ventricular hypertrophy.
B: I think a chest X-ray is also very important to see the size of the heart and the extent of any hypertrophy. I would also check the creatinine to see if there's any damage to the kidneys.
С: An intravenous pyelogram is essential because a renal cause is very likely.
B: As an initial investigation?
C: No, after urea and electrolytes and after the creatinine.
B: It's essential if the creatinine shows something wrong with the kidneys.
C: Yes.
A: Yes, both creatinine and urea and electrolytes are required. In this case I think they're more important than the ECG and chest X-ray because the patient is young, 43, and the hypertention is very high.
C: Urine analysis too in this case. It's very important.
B: Yes, it's routine,
C: We can see if there's any glomerular damage. We may find blood, albumin, casts...
A: Yes, it's very important.
B: What about radioisotope studies of the kidneys?
C: Not essential, but we could do this to check the function of the kidneys.
A: We can see this from the criatinine and urine.
C: I know. It's not essential, but it could be useful.
B: Serum cholesterol?
A: Not essential. We're thinking of another type of hypertension here. But possibly useful.
B: Skull X-ray?
C: Not required. It's of no value in this case.
B: Serum thyroxine?
A: Absolutely no connection with hypertension.
B: Barium meal?
C: Not required.
B: Uric acid?
A: Not necessary. If the uric acid is raised, there would be other symptoms.
