OBJECTIVE
To report the occurrence of a novel group of adverse effects associated with initiation and rechallenge of orlistat.
METHODS
A 42-year-old white woman developed symptoms of constipation, polyuria, polydipsia, and increased lower-leg edema after 2 weeks of treatment with orlistat 120 mg 3
Polyuria contributes to bladder overdistention, which confounds both lower and upper urinary tract management in individuals having a spinal cord injury (SCI). Bladder overdistention post-SCI is one of the most common triggers for autonomic dysreflexia, a potentially life-threatening condition.
Aims: There is accumulating evidence that excessive salt intake contributes to nocturnal polyuria. We aimed to investigate the relationship between salt intake, leg edema, and nocturnal urine volume (NUV) to assess the etiology of nocturnal polyuria.
BACKGROUND
The 47-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital because of newly diagnosed diabetes and elevated liver function tests (gamma glutamyl transferase 303 U/l). On admission the patient reported a reduction of appetite, which had increased during the past 2 weeks, fatigue, muscular
Edema of variable severity is an uncommon complication of insulin treatment. Increased sodium reabsorption, transient proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia are the most frequently reported laboratory disorders at the time of edema formation. This case report describes a 44-yr-old man with a 4-month
A 28-year-old woman had hypothalamic disorders (amenorrhea, obesity, psychiatric abnormalities, polydipsia and fever) and chronic glomerulonephritis. She also suffered from general edema associated with cyclical oliguria and polyuria. Her body weight and plasma osmolality increased during the
Galactose neuropathy was produced in rats by feeding a diet containing 30% D-galactose. After 12 weeks of galactose ingestion, all rats developed bilateral cataracts, polydypsia and polyuria. These galactose-intoxicated animals were divided into two groups that both continued with the galactose
BACKGROUND
The mechanism of nocturnal polyuria (NP), a leading cause of nocturia, is poorly understood.
OBJECTIVE
To characterize NP in terms of diuresis rate changes before and after the first nocturnal awakening.
METHODS
A frequency-volume chart (FVC) database of 773 entries from 440 veterans
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the relationship between leg edema, nocturnal urine volume (NUV), and the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) during the night, and to investigate the principal factors affecting nocturnal polyuria in older men.
METHODS
A total of 74 male inpatients more than 50 years of
OBJECTIVE
Increased nocturnal urinary volume is closely associated with nocturia. We investigated the relationship between nocturnal polyuria and the variation of body fluid distribution during the daytime using bioelectric impedance analysis.
METHODS
A total of 34 men older than 60 years were
Compare the circadian trajectory of diuresis between nocturnal polyuria (NP) patients with versus without identifiable contributory comorbidities.Retrospective analysis of frequency-volume charts from male patients with clinically-significant nocturia (≥2
