[Acute renal failure following convulsion-induced myoglobinuria].

Only registered users can translate articles

A 75-year-old female with history of putamenal hemorrhage 8 years earlier was admitted to our hospital with generalized convulsion lasting 40 minutes. Convulsion responded quickly to intravenous administration of diazepam, but deep coma persisted thereafter. Although renal function had normalized

Recurrent episodes of myoglobinuria, mental retardation and seizures but no hemolysis in two brothers with phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report two brothers with mild intellectual deficiency, exercise intolerance, rhabdomyolysis, seizures and no hemolysis. Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) activity was strongly decreased in their red blood cells. Subsequent molecular analysis of PGK1 revealed hemizygosity for a novel mutation c.756 +

Necrotizing vacuolar myopathy presenting with recurrent myoglobinuria.

Only registered users can translate articles

Myoglobinuria occurs in a variety of systemic and neurological disorders and can pose diagnostic challenges. We report on a 23-year-old man in whom recurrent myoglobinuria was observed due to necrotizing vacuolar myopathy confirmed on muscle biopsy. Histopathologically the intramuscular vacuoles

Myoglobinuria with acute renal failure and hot kidneys seen on bone imaging.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a case of myoglobinuria secondary to prolonged seizures. The child showed "hot kidneys" with bone scintigraphy. The disease entity and etiologies of nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis are discussed.

Myoglobinuria and renal failure after status epilepticus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acute renal failure developed in a 28-year-old man after status epilepticus. Myoglobinuria was contributed to by convulsions, trauma and coma during status epilepticus, the three mechanisms responsible for this condition.

Myoglobinemia and myoglobinuria in unconscious children.

Only registered users can translate articles

Myoglobinemia and/or myoglobinuria was demonstrated in 12 of 17 unconscious children studied. Myoglobinemia was noted in patients with serum CPK levels above 200-250 units. Ten of the 12 patients in whom myoglobinemia was present had convulsions. Some degree of renal disturbance was noted in six of

Muscle phosphofructokinase deficiency with neonatal seizures and nonprogressive course.

Only registered users can translate articles

Muscle phosphofructokinase deficiency is known to cause childhood-onset exercise intolerance, muscle cramps, and myoglobinuria. Rarely, phosphofructokinase deficiency manifests in infancy as congenital myopathy and arthrogryposis with fatal outcome. Here, the authors report the case of a 2-year-old

Seizures induced by acute loxapine overdose.

Only registered users can translate articles

The author reviewed records of 10 patients who had experienced acute loxapine overdose. The most frequent medical complications were CNS depression, sinus tachycardia, hypertension, and hypothermia; 6 patients had had generalized major motor seizures, 1 had had recurrent paroxysmal atrial

Recurrent seizures alter renal function and plasma atrial natriuretic peptide levels in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Status epilepticus can lead to impaired renal function, which has been attributed to complications of myoglobinuria. We confirmed changes in renal function in the absence of myoglobinuria by measuring renal hemodynamics, fluid and electrolyte excretions, and plasma levels of renin and atrial

McArdle's disease presenting as recurrent cryptogenic renal failure due to occult seizures.

Only registered users can translate articles

Myophosphorylase deficiency (McArdle's disease) may present with episodic renal failure following exertion. We present a case of adult-onset myophosphorylase deficiency in which recurrent bouts of renal failure could not be associated with any exertional events until a tonic seizure was witnessed

Recurrent myoglobinuria in a child with mental retardation: phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report the case of an 11-year-old mentally retarded boy with recurrent myoglobinuria precipitated after a generalized tonic-clonic convulsion. No hemolysis was noted. Ischemic forearm test revealed no rise of venous lactate, suggesting a metabolic defect in an anaerobic glycolytic pathway.

Effects of perinatal asphyxia and myoglobinuria on development of acute, neonatal renal failure.

Only registered users can translate articles

Thirty four consecutive neonates with birth asphyxia or respiratory problems were examined in the first week of life to clarify the relation between neonatal myoglobinuria and acute renal failure. Investigations included determination of creatinine clearance, fractional sodium excretion, and

Phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency: another cause of recurrent myoglobinuria.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 14-year-old boy had myoglobinuria and renal failure after intense exercise; a year earlier he had experienced a milder episode. There was no consanguinity and no family history of neuromuscular diseases or hemolytic anemia. Strength was normal. Forearm ischemic exercise caused prolonged

General convulsions and rhabdomyolysis. Case reports.

Only registered users can translate articles

Two patients who developed rhabdomyolysis secondary to generalized seizures are presented. Minor traumas of skeletal muscles due to seizures may be associated with myoglobinuria and the development of acute renal failure. The diagnosis rhabdomyolysis may easily be confirmed by following serum
