A patient who had a previous anaphylactoid reaction to albumin required plasma exchange for myasthenia gravis. She was rechallenged with albumin from a different manufacturer after premedication with diphenhydramine. No adverse reaction occurred during five exchanges over a 10-day period. Possible
During treatment for asthma, a 3-year-old, 15-kg child was given 750 mg of theophylline in error. Within three hours she was treated with albumin-collodion activated charcoal (ACAC) hemoperfusion. Immediately before treatment her serum theophylline level was 74 microgram/ml. At the end of three
High-dose methotrexate therapy (HDMTX) is a common form of chemotherapy used in children with high-grade malignancy such as osteosarcoma. Treatment with HDMTX requires careful monitoring of drug levels with folinic acid (leucovorin) rescue therapy. Toxicity from methotrexate is not uncommon and
A girl aged six months was hospitalized because of resistant seizures and was discharged with phenobarbital and carbamazepine therapy. She was admitted to a state hospital with symptoms of inability to waken and difficulty in breathing. It was learned that phenobarbital had been used incorrectly and
The observed patterns of segregation of two co-dominant alleles at the macaque albumin locus in 400 rhesus monkey offspring were compared with those expected for five segregating mating phenotypes. Rates of reproductive loss and conception were also compared among females of each albumin phenotype.
Case report.To describe intraoperative administration of albumin as a cause of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated anaphylaxis and cardiac arrest in an adolescent with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.Albumin is considered the Carbamazepine overdose is a common, toxic ingestion, manifesting as central nervous system (CNS) and respiratory depression. Carbamazepine is highly protein bound with a large volume of distribution and, therefore, inefficiently removed by conventional hemodialysis. We describe the successful use of
We report a case in which combination therapy with albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) and gemcitabine converted unresectable pancreatic cancer with peritoneal metastases into resectable disease. The patient was a 71-year-old woman with anorexia. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT)
Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) acetylates human serum albumin under physiologic conditions in vitro. These investigations were done to determine whether this phenomenon occurs in vivo and to delineate the site(s) of acetylation on the albumin molecule. Albumin was reacted in vitro with aspirin
To investigate the efficacy of long term administration of salt-poor albumin in the prognosis of cirrhotic patients with ascites, we administered albumin for more than six months at regular intervals to nine cirrhotic patients who had been confirmed to have ascites for the first time, and maintained
BACKGROUND
Acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose is a leading cause of acute liver failure (ALF). When patients fulfill the King's College criteria for acetaminophen-induced ALF (AALF), they have a poor prognosis for survival without liver transplantation. Recent advances in artificial liver support
Online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) is associated with better removal of both small and middle molecules and might improve survival compared to conventional hemodialysis (HD). Nevertheless, hemodiafiltration (HDF) can lead to an increase in albumin loss across the dialyzer, especially We present a case of a Jehovah's Witness patient who refused blood products, with the exception of albumin and clotting factors, and underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia complicated by postpartum hemorrhage. She was fluid resuscitated and treated with multiple uterotonics and internal
A 24-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was admitted to our hospital because of diarrhea, vomiting, and epigastralgia. When she was diagnosed as SLE 5 years earlier, her renal function was normal and her urine protein excretion was 0.15 g/day. Renal biopsy revealed class V lupus
We report in this article a girl with an initial diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis who developed full-blown systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at her two-years follow-up. She was formerly considered as HBV-related chronic active hepatitis but due to the persistence of elevated liver enzymes, the
