BACKGROUND
The occurrence of deteriorating renal function test results along with the attempts at diuresis of anasarca has been described but not named, and no solution other than the standard treatment of related medical conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF) and reducing or stopping
Hypernatremia is usually associated with water depletion. Seven very ill patients developed hypernatremia in association with marked edema during therapy in the hospital. All patients had hypoalbuminemia and azotemia. At the time of hypernatremia, urine output averaged 1880 mL/24 h and urine sodium
Epidemic dropsy results from the consumption of edible oils adulterated with Argemone mexicana oil by unscrupulous traders. Twenty consecutive 'in-door' patients of dropsy were intensively studied during the recent Delhi epidemic. Samples of edible oil used by them, their urine and their serum
Epidemic dropsy is a clinical state resulting from use of edible oils adulterated with Argemone mexicana oil. Sanguinarine and dehydrosanguinarine are two major toxic alkaloids of Argemone oil, which cause widespread capillary dilatation, proliferation and increased capillary permeability. Leakage
An 80-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus was treated with gliclazide. Prior to the gliclazide administration, her urinary excretion of albumin, serum urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were normal. After the medication, oliguria, edema and azotemia developed. On the twenty-fourth day when the
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized patients and its associated mortality is high. The causes of AKI are commonly divided into 3 groups: pre-renal, intra-renal, and post-renal. According to this paradigm, pre-renal azotemia (PRA) represents a separate entity characterized by a
Acute renal failure (ARF) with overhydration and edematous state may follow Acute endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis and extracapillary glomerulonephritis, because of reduction of the glomerular capillary area available for filtration. But ARF may also be observed in edematous patients
OBJECTIVE
The dynamics of brain-water content associated with hemodialysis in patients with severe azotemia remains obscure. To investigate whether either interstitial or cytotoxic edema is responsible for dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS), we used diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) to measure
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical profile and risk factors of cerebral edema in children with diabetic ketoacidosis with specific reference to fluid refractory shock.
METHODS
Retrospective review of medical records.
METHODS
Twelve-bed pediatric intensive care unit of a teaching
BACKGROUND
Coincidental with the pandemic growth of diabetes as the prime cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), blindness attributable to diabetic retinopathy has become a major concern for all those involved in the care of diabetic ESRD patients. Vision loss is linked to progression of
An adult male chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) presented with severe lethargy and tachypnea; the physical examination was otherwise unremarkable. Due to the animal's clinical condition, it was submitted for necropsy but died immediately prior to euthanasia. Clinicopathologic findings included
Cerebral edema (CE) and non cardiogenic pulmonary edema (acute respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS) are life-threatening complications of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). In contrast to CE complicating DKA, which is primarily reported in pediatric patients, ARDS is rarely described in this age group.
Kidney transplantation between 41-year-old twin men was carried out because of chronic glomerulonephritis in one twin. The operation was successful. Hypertension, edema and azotemia in the patient disappeared after operation and both the donor and the recipient were well.
