antidiuretic/fatigue

Central nervous system dysfunction associated with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) has been postulated as the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). A small heart or reduced left ventricular volume with reduced cardiac output has been reported to be common in patients with ME. The main circulatory

OBJECTIVE The chronic fatigue syndrome is associated with alterations in the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and cardiovascular autonomic nervous activity, suggesting a central dysregulation. This study explored differences among adolescent chronic fatigue syndrome patients and healthy controls

Chronic fatigue disorders are characterized by a subjectively defined group of symptoms such as chronic fatigue, mental confusion, exertional malaise, weight changes, and/or diffuse multi-joint pains. Significant clinical overlap exists between chronic fatigue disorders and the syndrome of serum

We report a case of a seventy-year-old woman with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and adrenal insufficiency induced by Rathke's cleft cyst. She experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache and disturbance of consciousness induced by hyponatremia at a serum

BACKGROUND Severe hyponatremia is rare when carbamazepine is used as monotherapy. It is common to encounter this imbalance in the hospital setting, but rare in the ambulatory one. Here, we present a case of hyponatremia secondary to carbamazepine use in an otherwise asymptomatic patient. METHODS A

Incidence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is increasing. Most patients have advanced disease at diagnosis and therapeutic options in this setting are limited. Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel regimen was demonstrated to increase survival compared with gemcitabine monotherapy and is

The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is characterized by hyponatremia and the plasma hypoosmolality induced by water retention attributable to persistent antidiuretic hormone (ADH) release. It has been reported that SIADH may occur due to various factors in patients

Only a few cases of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) in the setting of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have been described in the literature. We present the case of an 81-year-old male who developed severe hyponatremia following elective total hip replacement. His

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone release (SIADH) is a condition defined by the unsuppressed release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary gland or nonpituitary sources or its continued action on vasopressin receptors. Of the many causes of SIADH, an important one includes

A case of malignant thymoma with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) complicated by syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) following intrathoracic cisdichlorodiammine platinum (CDDP) administration is reported. A 59-year-old Japanese woman who presented with severe general

The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone is characterized by production of less than maximally dilute urine in the presence of hypotonic plasma. It may be secondary to malignant disease, central nervous system disorders, or pulmonary disease, among other conditions, or it may

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSQCC) of the lung is a very rare subtype of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). There have been no reported cases of syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) developing concurrently with this tumor. We herein present a case of a 68-year-old

BACKGROUND Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is known as a rare adverse event with chemotherapy. We report the case of a SIADH occurring after vinorelbine treatment. METHODS In a 79-year-old woman breast cancer was first diagnosed in 2000. Three years after the first

BACKGROUND Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone induced by intraarterial cisplatin therapy is a previously unreported complication. METHODS A 63-year-old woman with stage Ib2 squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix was treated with intraarterial cisplatin infusion in a

We report a case of 47-year-old woman with an isolated deficiency of adrenocorticotropic hormone. She was admitted complaining of fatigue and frequent loss of consciousness. The patient developed severe hyponatremia (100 mEq/l) after five days of the admission. Her plasma renin activity and plasma
