Understanding the Intricacies of LFTs in Clinical Practice with Dr Chanika Ariyawansa

In this episode of The Good GP, hosts Dr Sean Stevens and Dr Tim Koh are joined by Dr Chanika Ariyawansa, a WA-trained chemical pathologist with additional training in genetic pathology. Dr Ariyawansa, who holds significant roles in the Australian Association of Clinical Biochemistry, delves into the nuances of liver function tests (LFTs), exploring patterns and implications of abnormal results. Firstly, with an examination of the prevalence and general patterns of abnormal LFTs, highlighting the commonality of mild and transient abnormalities. Dr Ariyawansa clarifies common misconceptions regarding LFTs, emphasising that not all markers in the standard LFT panel are liver-specific or directly assess liver function. They also explain in detail individual LFT components such as bilirubin, ALP, GGT, AST, and ALT. The guest expert also categorises potential abnormalities into hepatocellular, cholestatic, mixed, and non-hepatic causes, with practical insights on each. Special attention is given to non-hepatic causes, analytical causes, and how these might influence LFT interpretation. Dr Ariyawansa's expertise shines as she discusses managing patient anxiety around abnormal LFT results and the practical aspects of educating patients about their liver health. She stresses the utility of resources such as the Pathology Tests Explained website for patient education. Wrapping up with an engaging Q&A session addressing specific scenarios like non-drinking patients with isolated raised GGT and the impact of statins on LFTs. She answers with clinical relevance, offering listeners practical strategies for understanding and communicating complex test results in their practice.

Post Strep Glomerulonephritis: Diagnosis and Management Tips from Dr Allison Hempenstall

In this episode, Dr Krystyna de Lange is joined again by Dr Allison Hempenstall, a General Practitioner and Public Health Physician from Far North Queensland, to discuss acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN). Dr Hempenstall begins by defining APSGN and explaining how it is an acute autoimmune kidney condition triggered by a group A strep (GAS) infection. She elaborates on the socio-economic risk factors and the presence of nephrotoxic strains of group A strep that increase susceptibility to APSGN. Comparison is made with acute rheumatic fever, noting both similarities and differences. Covering the classic triad of symptoms for APSGN – hypertension, haematuria, and oedema – and how to diagnose the condition through clinical presentations and laboratory investigations. Dr Hempenstall explains the importance of identifying haematuria through urine analysis and performing necessary tests for recent strep infections and complement levels (C3 and C4). They then move to the appropriate management strategies, including the use of intramuscular penicillin for eradicating strep and symptom management through antihypertensives and fluid management. Dr Hempenstall emphasises the necessity of involving paediatricians for cases requiring hospitalisation and mentioning that any persistent hypertension in children should be addressed promptly. Lastly, outlining longer-term follow-up protocols, stressing the importance of regular blood pressure and urine checks post-diagnosis and the role of health education in preventing future occurrences. Special attention to the importance of contact tracing and prophylactic measures for household contacts in order to curb the spread of nephrotoxic strains of group A strep.
