Celiac Disease affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide and can present at any age, frequently with very subtle, atypical or at times entirely non-GI symptoms. The presentation can be extremely diverse and may involve a variety of organ systems. If not recognized and effectively treated, multiple potentially serious complications can develop. Primary care clinicians are often the initial point of contact, and we need to know the common presenting symptoms, which tests should be ordered when we suspect the disease and when a referral is necessary. We also play a role in long-term management by monitoring for nutritional deficiencies, bone integrity, and the patient’s adherence to a gluten-free diet. In this podcast, we’ll explore Celiac Disease with my guest, Dr. Joseph Murray, a gastroenterologist from the Mayo Clinic, and a nationally recognized specialist in Celiac Disease. We’ll focus on practical information you can apply to your practice.

Systemic lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease with a variety of immunologic and laboratory abnormalities. It has numerous clinical manifestations potentially involving multiple organs. It’s known as the great imitator because it can mimic a variety of other diseases, and it’s not uncommon for patients to have symptoms for a number of years prior to a diagnosis being established. What symptoms should alert us to the possibility of lupus? What do we do with a low titer, positive ANA? How is a firm diagnosis established and what role does the primary care clinician play in the management of those with lupus? I’ll be asking these questions and more of my guest, Dr. Uma Thanarajasingam from the Division of Rheumatology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Lupus Today: Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment”.

Kidney transplantation has significantly improved the outlook for children with end-stage renal failure. The journey these children follow to transplantation starts in primary care with the recognition of chronic kidney disease, timely referral to nephrology, and long-term coordination of care with the transplant team. What are the most common health conditions which result in chronic kidney disease in children? What are some of the challenges faced in pediatric kidney transplantation and what do primary care clinicians need to know in caring for these children following kidney transplant? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest Dr. Carl Cramer, a pediatric nephrologist and specialist in pediatric renal transplantation at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Pediatric Kidney Transplant”.
