Sevelamer hydrochloride (SH) has been reported to aggravate metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia. This study was performed to evaluate acid-base status and serum potassium changes after replacing SH with lanthanum carbonate (LC) in hemodialysis patients. SH was prescribed for 24 weeks in 14 stable
Cross-bred, anesthetized female swine were given intravascularly a lethal (72 microg/kg; n = 6) or toxic-sublethal (25 microg/kg; n = 6) dose of microcystin-LR (MCLR), from Microcystis aeruginosa, or the vehicle (n = 4). At the high dose, from 12 to 18 min after administration, central venous
BACKGROUND
At discharge from neonatal units, many preterm infants are vulnerable to preprandial hypoglycemia due to insufficient liver glucose production. In most preterm infants, hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase activity (the terminal step of liver glucose production) remains abnormally low
Sevelamer hydrochloride use in hemodialysis patients is complicated by metabolic acidosis aggravation and hyperkalemia. Rare reports about a short-term correction of this complication have been published. The current authors investigated the long-term correction of metabolic acidosis and
The present study investigates the incidence of perioperative hyperkalemia and the influence factors of serum potassium levels during and after parathyroidectomy (PTX) in hemodialysis patients with renal hyperparathyroidism (rHPT). A total of 204 hemodialysis patients with refractory rHPT undergoing
OBJECTIVE
Hyperkalaemia is one of the most common reasons for patients requiring emergency treatment. This study is to investigate the risk factors of postoperative hyperkalemia in renal failure patients undergoing parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (PTXa).
METHODS
One hundred and eight
BACKGROUND
Hypokalemia of clinical significance, severe enough to cause paralysis and cardiac dysrhythmias, is an uncommon life-threatening medical disorder. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP), where an abrupt intracellular shift of potassium has occurred, must be distinguished from hypokalemic
BACKGROUND
In this study, we aimed to explore the clinical and epidemiological profile of all patients with hepatitis E virus (HEV) who were admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Mysore, India and to further assess various factors that influence the prognosis of these patients.
METHODS
Two hundred
Urethral obstruction induced in adult male cats caused clinical signs identical with those observed in naturally occurring disease. Central nervous system depression, anorexia, dehydration, vomiting, muscle weakness, and hypothermia occurred. Weight loss (due to water loss and catabolism), metabolic
Skeletal fluorosis is a metabolic bone disease caused by accumulation of fluoride and is generally associated with chronic exposure to fluoride-contaminated groundwater, a phenomenon endemic to developing countries. Whereas elevated water fluoride concentrations do not constitute a public health
METHODS
A 16-week-old female Boxer that had been treated for 5 weeks with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and chloramphenicol because of aspiration pneumonia was evaluated for bilaterally symmetric masses in the subcutaneous tissues of the ventral neck, in the region of the larynx.
RESULTS
Fine-needle
1. Injection of sublethal doses of hornet venom to cats was followed by increases in serum aminotransferases and alkaline phosphatase, together with hyperglycemia, uremia and hyperkalemia. 2. The blood pH and PO2 fell significantly. 3. All changes occurred within 30 min of injection and were found
Aim: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are commonly used to treat hypertension. Although generally well tolerated, the adverse effects of ACEIs include hypotension, cough, acute kidney injury and hyperkalemia. Rare reports of ACEI-induced hepatotoxicity have been described, most
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the causes and examined patient outcomes following the postrevascularization syndrome (PRS) during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx).
METHODS
PRS was defined as a fall in the mean arterial pressure at 5 min after revascularization to less than 70% of the baseline and
Effects of K+ supplementation (approximately 200 mmol KCl/100 g chow) on plasma K+, K+ content, and Na+-K+-adeonsinetriphosphatase (ATPase) concentration ([Na+-K+-ATPase]) in skeletal muscles as well as on extrarenal K+ clearance were evaluated in rats. After 2 days of K+ supplementation,
