Although acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis is increasingly recognized as a cause of acute renal failure, little is known about renal tubular function in this disease. We report on two patients with acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis who demonstrated abnormalities in proximal and distal tubular
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors have shown a potential for renoprotection beyond blood glucose lowering. Glycosuria in nondiabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is sometimes noted. Whether glycosuria in CKD implies a channelopathy or proximal tubulopathy is not known. The
A 28-year-old male presented with 2 days of vomiting and abdominal pain, preceded by 2 weeks of thirst, polyuria and polydipsia. He had recently started risperidone for obsessive-compulsive disorder. He reported a high dietary sugar intake and had a strong family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Interrelations between glucose and electrolyte homeostasis were evaluated in 193 insulin-treated diabetic out-patients. All had normal serum creatinine and were studied during their everyday metabolic control. Although the patients were selected to be without proteinuria and ketonuria, they
We experienced a case of unexpected ECG abnormality with hyperkalemia. A 65-year-old man was suffering from maxillary sinus cyst and Caldwell-Luc procedure was scheduled. He had diabetes mellitus and hypertension for 15 years, and was taking oral hypoglycemic agent and hypotensive drug (angiotensin
The safety of contemporary volatile anesthetic agents with respect to kidney function is well established, and growing evidence suggests that volatile anesthetics even protect against ischemic nephropathy. However, studies examining effects of volatile anesthetics on kidney function frequently
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether a defect in vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-mediated vasodilatation underlies diabetic impotence.
METHODS
Rats treated with streptozotocin for 8 weeks developed diabetes, as shown by hyperglycaemia and glycosuria, and had significant impairment of sexual function,
BACKGROUND
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are currently used to prevent and treat asthma and recurrent wheezing attacks in children. Fluticasone propionate (FP) is one of the most commonly prescribed ICSs because it is considered effective and well tolerated.
METHODS
A male infant of approximately 1
Renal tubular acidosis refers to a group of disorders that result from pure tubular damage without concomitant glomerular damage. They could be hereditary (primary) or acquired (secondary to various disease states like sickle cell disease, obstructive uropathy, postrenal transplant, autoimmune
