Elderly patients with diabetes are prone to a number of complications, some of which take precedence over, hinder, or preclude the intensive glucose control recommended for younger diabetic patients.

We review the conditions that can cause this ocular sign—the ones that internists can comfortably manage, and the ones that are best managed by an eye specialist.

Much has been learned, but "nephrogenic" is misleading: this fibrosing disorder is not caused by the kidneys.

Portopulmonary hypertension should be looked for in patients with liver disease, especially if liver transplantation is being considered, as it may make transplantation riskier to perform.

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is making us revise our view that “MRI with contrast” is a benign test.

Some patients should take a statin, particularly those not yet on dialysis who have low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels higher than 100 mg/dL. However, relatively few studies have addressed this question.
