Identification of autoimmune disorders: type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, coeliac disease and bullous pemphigoid

Autoimmune conditions are common, and people may be affected by more than one.  In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, the MIMS Learning editors discuss tips on identifying key symptoms and the importance of timely referral.

Conditions discussed include type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, coeliac disease and the blistering skin condition bullous pemphigoid. 

Learn about the ‘4 Ts’ that could suggest type 1 diabetes in children, the three 3 key symptoms that should prompt timely referral for suspected rheumatoid arthritis, and possible variations in presentations of psoriasis. Also covered are the non-classical symptoms associated with undiagnosed coeliac disease, and how bullous pemphigoid may present in older people
