Elevated serum levels of uric acid are caused by increased production or decreased renal excretion. Another cause of the disorder which is less familiar is hyperuricemia following rotavirus infection. This is a case study of a girl who was admitted for abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and diarrhea.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this paper was to determine the etiology of diarrhea in children with an age <5 years hospitalised for acute enteritis and to evidence the prevalent clinical aspects in correlation of different etiology agents.
METHODS
A total of 402 children with acute diarrhea were examined
OBJECTIVE
Congenital chloride diarrhea (CLD) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder of intestinal Cl/HCO3 exchange caused by mutations in the SLC26A3 gene and characterized by persistent Cl rich diarrhea from birth. Treatment is symptomatic and replacement therapy with NaCl and KCl has been shown
BACKGROUND
Acute kidney injury (AKI) with elevated serum uric acid (UA) levels has been reported in patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). AKI is thought to result from tubular obstruction by UA crystals. Inducing a diuresis may ameliorate the oligoanuria in such patients. We describe a
OBJECTIVE
To review the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical trial data, safety profile, precautions, and place in therapy of febuxostat, a novel nonpurine xanthine oxidase inhibitor in development for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout.
METHODS
Available studies and abstracts were
Background/objective: Hyperuricemia leads to gout and renal complications and may increase cardiovascular risk. Curcumin inhibits xanthine oxidase and increases uricosuric activity and, as a result, decreases serum urate (SU). This randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effects of
Two patients with chronic disease (diabetes mellitus type I, hyperuricemia and alcohol abuse, respectively) were hospitalized with persistent diarrhea and severe abdominal cramps. Using routine methods, the only pathogen isolated in stool specimens was Arcobacter butzleri. In both cases acute
The objective of this meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) was to evaluate the effects of febuxostat on kidney function in patients with hyperuricemia.We conducted electronic searches in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Central Register OBJECTIVE
To compare the urate-lowering efficacy and safety of febuxostat, allopurinol, and placebo in a large group of subjects with hyperuricemia and gout, including persons with impaired renal function.
METHODS
Subjects (n = 1,072) with hyperuricemia (serum urate level > or = 8.0 mg/dl) and gout
Serum uric acid levels were measured in 133 dehydrated patients admitted with diarrhea. Elevated levels were found in 80% of the patients; the highest was 38 mg/dL. Serum uric acid was correlated with serum urea nitrogen and the levels tended to be higher in patients with hypernatremia. The serum
CASE DESCRIPTION Within a 2-week period, 4 southern cassowaries (Casuarius casuarius) at an exhibit at a Virginia zoo died acutely subsequent to eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) infection. This prompted a search for other EEEV outbreaks in cassowaries, which resulted in the identification of
The clinical and laboratory features of 18 adult pellagrins are reviewed. Only four patients (22%) had the full trial of dermatitis, diarrhea and dementia. Dermatitis alone occurred in six(33%), dementia in five(28%) and dermatitis and diarrhea in three(17%). In one patient, dermentia was the

Laxative abuse syndrome (LAS) is a type of Münchausen syndrome characterized by surreptitious abuse of purgatives. Clinical findings are often perplexing and may mimic inflammatory bowel disease or malabsorption syndromes. Patients frequently complain of diarrhea alternating with constipation and
