BACKGROUND
Na+ and K+ concentration measurements by ion-selective electrodes and flame photometry are affected by lipids influencing plasma water content.
METHODS
In 166 sera with total cholesterol ranging from 1.19 to 23.3 mmol/L, and triglycerides ranging from 0.34 to 56.3 mmol/L, Na+ and K+
BACKGROUND
Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) primarily occurs after rapid correction of severe hyponatremia. There are no proven effective therapies for ODS, but we describe the first case showing the successful treatment of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) by plasma exchange, which occurred
BACKGROUND
A high incidence of hypernatremia is often observed in patients recovering from acute kidney injury (AKI) in intensive care units.
METHODS
An unselected cohort of 20 adult patients recovering from AKI in the intensive care unit of a single institution during a 1-year period, were
BACKGROUND
Hypernatremia is a serious electrolyte disturbance and an independent risk factor for mortality in critically ill patients. In many cases, hypernatremia is an iatrogenic problem that develops in the intensive care unit (ICU).
METHODS
Case series.
METHODS
45 patients were studied in a
Thiazides are suggested as a treatment for intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired hypernatremia (IAH). The primary aim of the study was reducing serum sodium concentration (sNa) in patients with IAH with hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in comparison to placebo. Secondary end points were a difference in urine
BACKGROUND
Polyuria and hypernatremia are common problems during the pretransplant care of brain-dead donors. They have not only important role in hemodynamic stability, but also may influence organ transplantation outcomes. The influence of donor hypernatremia in liver transplantation was reported.
The efficacy of Sterofundin, Normofundin, and physiological solutions in correcting hypernatremia and impaired acid-base balance was analyzed in patients with sellar region tumors. Twenty-one patients were enrolled in the study; three groups were formed. Physiological solution added by 4% of
Abnormal serum sodium levels are frequently observed among patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and may worsen cerebral edema or mass effect. Low serum potassium levels (hypokalemia) are also common among patients with aneurysmal SAH and are associated with prolonged QT interval
Hypernatremia supports the movement of water from the intracellular to the intercellular space. This shift leads to cells shrinkage and disruption of intracellular processes, representing risk factors of morbidity and mortality in clinical circumstances. On the other hand, Hypernatremia usually results from the loss of water from the body in excess of loss of electrolytes. Although urinary loss of free water is usually thought of when the urine is dilute, it can also occur when the urine is relatively concentrated, for example after administration of osmotic
Objective: This study aims to investigate the incidence and clinical significance of sodium, potassium and calcium electrolyte disturbances in elderly patients with hip fracture before an operation.
