    Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) – Recognition and Management in the ED

    Hosts:
    Phoebe Draper, MD
    Brian Gilberti, MD

    • A vasculitis affecting small blood vessels causing inflammation and necrosis
    • Affects upper respiratory tract (sinusitis, otitis media, saddle nose deformity), lungs (nodules, alveolar hemorrhage), and kidneys (rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis)
    • Can lead to multi-organ failure, pulmonary hemorrhage, renal failure
    Red Flag Symptoms:
    • Chronic sinus symptoms
    • Hemoptysis (especially bright red blood)
    • New pulmonary complaints
    • Renal dysfunction
    • Constitutional symptoms (fatigue, weight loss, fever)
    Workup in the ED:
    • CBC, CMP for anemia and AKI
    • Urinalysis with microscopy (hematuria, RBC casts)
    • Chest imaging (CXR or CT for nodules, cavitary lesions)
    • ANCA testing (not immediately available but important diagnostically)
    Management:
    • Stable patients: Outpatient workup, urgent rheumatology consult, prednisone 1 mg/kg/day
    • Unstable patients: High-dose IV steroids (methylprednisolone 1 g daily x3 days), consider plasma exchange, cyclophosphamide or rituximab initiation, ICU admission
    Conditions that Mimic GPA:
    • Goodpasture syndrome (anti-GBM antibodies)
    • TB, fungal infections
    • Lung malignancy
    • Other vasculitides (EGPA, MPA, lupus)

    • Arises frequently in the ED, even when not formally recognized
    • Carries both legal implications and ethical weight
    • Failure to appropriately assess capacity can result in:
      • Forced treatment without justification
      • Missed opportunities to respect autonomy
      • Increased risk of litigation and poor patient outcomes
    Defining Capacity
    • Capacity is:
      • Decision-specific: varies based on the medical choice at hand
      • Time-specific: can fluctuate due to medical conditions, intoxication, delirium
    • Distinct from competency, which is a legal determination
    • Relies on a patient’s ability to:
      • Understand relevant information
      • Appreciate the consequences
      • Reason through options
      • Communicate a clear choice
    Real-World ED Examples
    • Intoxicated patient with head trauma refusing CT
      • Unreliable neuro exam
      • Potentially time-sensitive intracranial injury
    • Elderly patient with sepsis refusing admission due to caregiving responsibilities
      • Balancing autonomy vs. beneficence
    • Patient with gangrenous diabetic foot refusing surgery
      • Demonstrates logic and consistency despite high-risk decision
    The 4 Pillars of Capacity Assessment
    • Understanding
      • Can the patient explain:
      • Their condition
      • Recommended treatments
      • Risks and benefits
      • Alternatives and outcomes?
    • Sample prompts:

    • Episode 209: Blast Crisis
      2025/05/01

      We dive into the recognition and management of blast crisis.

      Hosts:
      Sadakat Chowdhury, MD
      Brian Gilberti, MD

      • Blast crisis is an oncologic emergency, most commonly seen in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
      • Defined by:
        • >20% blasts in peripheral blood or bone marrow.
        • May include extramedullary blast proliferation.
      • Without treatment, median survival is only 3–6 months.
      Pathophysiology & Associated Conditions
      • Usually occurs in CML, but also in:
        • Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)
        • Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
      • Transition from chronic to blast phase often reflects disease progression or treatment resistance.
      Risk Factors
      • 10% of CML patients progress to blast crisis.
      • Risk increased in:
        • Patients refractory to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., imatinib).
        • Those with Philadelphia chromosome abnormalities.
        • WBC >100,000, which increases risk for leukostasis.
      Clinical Presentation
      • Symptoms often stem from pancytopenia and leukostasis:
        • Anemia: fatigue, malaise.
        • Functional neutropenia: high WBC count, but increased infection/sepsis risk.
        • Thrombocytopenia: bleeding, bruising.
      • Leukostasis/hyperviscosity effects by system:
        • Neurologic: confusion, visual changes, stroke-like symptoms.
        • Cardiopulmonary: ARDS, myocardial injury.
        • Others: priapism, limb ischemia, bowel infarction.
