BACKGROUND
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-radiological entity affecting both adults and children characterized by neurotoxicity often in setting of hypertension coupled with distinct brain magnetic resonance imaging features. Decreased serum albumin level has been
OBJECTIVE
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a clinicoradiologic entity with typical MR imaging showing predominant vasogenic and occasional cytotoxic edema. It is unclear whether MR imaging correlates with levels of serum albumin. We determined potential risk factors for development of
OBJECTIVE
To assess the effectiveness of prophylactic albumin for the prevention of ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy (IIE), and to describe risk factors for IIE and investigate the predictive potential of a novel risk-stratification model for IIE.
METHODS
Retrospective analysis.
METHODS
Single
Objective: To explore the value of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade combined with serum ammonia in the diagnosis of cirrhosis with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Methods: The serum level of total bilirubin(TBIL), albumin( ALB )and blood ammonia were detected in 139 patients including 73 cirrhosis
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious complication of cirrhosis. Decreased serum albumin (ALB) level may facilitate the development of HE and accelerate the death of cirrhotic patients with HE. Recent evidence also suggests that human albumin infusion may reduce the incidence of HE A mouse model for pertussis immunization encephalopathy has been described with features that closely resemble the severe adverse reactions occasionally seen after pertussis vaccine administration,m including seizures and a shock-like state leading to death. These reactions are produced with nearly
We performed this study to summarize the recent epidemiological characteristics of bilirubin encephalopathy and assess the role of total bilirubin-albumin ratio in the bilirubin encephalopathy. We retrospectively collected clinical data of 669 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia from the First
According to one popular theory, hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is partly caused by an imbalance in plasma amino acid levels. The Fischer's ratio between branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) and aromatic amino acids (AAAs) correlates with the degree of HE; the lower Fischer's ratio, the higher the grade
Acute, acute-on-chronic and chronic liver diseases are major health issues worldwide, and most cases end with the need for liver transplantation. Up to 90% of the patients die waiting for an organ to be transplanted. Hepatic encephalopathy is a common neuropsychiatric syndrome that usually
BACKGROUND
The role of tryptophan (TRY) and its metabolites in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy is conflicting. The aim of the present study is to investigate in posthepatitis cirrhotic patients with encephalopathy the serum levels of TRY and those of its metabolite indole-3-acetic acid,
The Bispectral Index™ monitor, an electroencephalographic-derived parameter, can quantify hepatic encephalopathy cerebral function recovery and differentiate between West Haven grades 1 to 4. I report a very peculiar "plateau" phenomenon of 3 clear distinct plateaus of stepwise albumin dialysis
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a major problem in patients submitted to TIPS. Previous studies identified low albumin as a factor associated to post-TIPS HE. In cirrhotics with diuretic-induced HE and hypovolemia, albumin infusion reduced plasma ammonia and improved HE. Our aim was to evaluate if
In patients with cirrhosis, dehydration induced by diuretics is a common precipitant of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), which may respond to volume expansion. The mechanism of HE in this situation is not fully understood. The present study evaluates the effect of plasma volume expansion on the severity
Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) have been shown to play a major role in the pathophysiology of hypoxic-ischemic cerebral injury. Using a novel sensitive ELISA allowing the quantification of nitrated albumin (nitroalbumin) in plasma, we tested the hypothesis that perinatal asphyxia increases
Background: Birth asphyxia is a leading cause of neonatal mortality. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels may have a predictive role in the identification and prevention of hypoxic disorders, as they increase in cases of ischemia of the
