Internal medicine: questions, guidelines and a worked example

Internal medicine questions often involve several conditions at once. Give the relevant comorbidities, kidney function and current medications so the answer can weigh recommendations that pull in different directions.

Typical questions in internal medicine

Examples you can ask as written:

  • How should I approach hyponatremia in a hospitalized adult?
  • When should I screen for primary aldosteronism, and with which test?
  • How should anticoagulation be managed around an elective procedure?
  • How do I evaluate an elevated ferritin?

Guideline bodies to check

When an answer cites one of these, open it and check its year and the patients it covers:

  • American College of Physicians (ACP): clinical guidelines and guidance statements.
  • ADA Standards of Care in Diabetes, updated every year, and KDIGO for kidney disease.
  • ESH and ACC/AHA for hypertension; NICE in the UK.
  • Your national internal medicine society.

Example: a question and what a cited answer includes

Question: “Which glucose-lowering drugs should I use in a patient with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease?” A useful answer:

  • Cites the current ADA Standards of Care and the KDIGO guideline on diabetes in CKD, which recommend an SGLT2 inhibitor for kidney and cardiovascular protection when the eGFR allows.
  • Adds a GLP-1 receptor agonist when more glucose lowering or cardiovascular risk reduction is needed.
  • Flags the eGFR thresholds for starting and dose-reducing metformin.
  • Shows each source so you can check the thresholds before prescribing.

What you can ask in internal medicine

From diagnostic workups to chronic disease management, grounded in current evidence.

Anemia workup

Structure the initial workup of anemia in an adult, using MCV and reticulocyte count to separate iron deficiency, chronic disease and macrocytic causes.

Type 2 diabetes management

Build an evidence-based regimen for type 2 diabetes, from metformin and lifestyle to GLP-1 and SGLT2 add-ons guided by cardiovascular and renal risk.

Unintentional weight loss

Frame the approach to unintentional weight loss in an adult, prioritizing malignancy, endocrine and gastrointestinal causes and a focused initial evaluation.

Evidence-based search built for clinicians

Ask any clinical question and get a concise, cited answer drawn from peer-reviewed literature and clinical guidelines.

Explore potential documentation gaps

Review available, supported records for potential billing details and documentation gaps. Validate findings against the complete clinical context.

Evidence at your fingertips

Explore available clinical guidelines and literature, and check the sources and relevance of each finding before applying it.

Findings for clinical review

Surface potential clinical risks and documentation gaps in supported records for professional review. Timing and coverage depend on the configured workflow.

Review potential billing gaps

Identify possible missing charges or coding gaps in supported records. Billing professionals validate the documentation and applicable payer rules before making changes.

Frequently asked questions

Does Arkangel AI cite its internal medicine sources?

Yes. Every answer links to the peer-reviewed studies and guidelines it draws from, so you can verify the evidence before acting.

Is this a replacement for clinical judgment?

No. Arkangel AI is clinical decision support. It accelerates evidence retrieval but does not replace your assessment of the individual patient.

Can I ask about the latest internal medicine guidelines?

Yes. Ask for the current evidence-based approach and Arkangel AI summarizes the relevant guideline recommendations with sources.

Clinical decision support, not a replacement

Arkangel AI supports clinical decision-making and does not replace clinician judgment. Always confirm recommendations against primary sources and your local protocols before acting.
