anuria/hypoxia

The urologist may be involved in the initial evaluation of a child with anuria. In our experience the most common cause of anuria in neonates was perinatal hypoxia and in older children it was the hemolytic uremic syndrome. Obstructive uropathy as a cause of anuria in infants and children appears to

Altogether 65 patients with acute renal failure induced by blood transfusion were examined for the clinical and biochemical manifestations of hypoxia according to the determination of hemoglobin affinity for oxygen, of 2,3-DPH, ATP and creatine in red blood cells and for acid-base balance. It has

Renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD), a rare, lethal, autosomal recessive disorder, is characterised by short and poorly differentiated proximal convoluted tubules associated with oligohydramnios, Potter sequence and neonatal death from respiratory failure. We report an unusual case of neonatal anuria

To determine the respective role of metformin accumulation and tissue hypoxia in triggering metformin-associated lactic acidosis (MALA), we measured plasma (PM) and red blood cell (RM) metformin concentrations in 14 patients with MALA and in 58 diabetic patients on well-tolerated chronic metformin

On the basis of microsphere distribution, inert gas washout, and standard clearance data, the effects of acute hypoxia and hypercapnia on the kidney were studied in anesthetized, mechanically ventilated rats. Moderate hypoxia (mean PO2, 48 mm Hg) did not significantly change diuresis, GFR, and

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of metformin accumulation in the pathophysiology of metformin-associated lactic acidosis. METHODS We used high-performance liquid chromatography to measure plasma metformin concentrations in 14 patients who experienced lactic acidosis (pH < 7.35 and lactate

BACKGROUND This study was designed to determine whether a decrease in renal oxygenation occurs during CO2 pneumoperitoneum in children with normal renal function undergoing laparoscopy. METHODS Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) probes were applied to both the lateral flank (T10-L2) and lateral

Hantaviruses are RNA viruses that belong to the genus Hantavirus, family Bunyaviridae. The main reservoir of hantaviruses are rodents. Humans become infected by inhaling particles of dust contaminated with faeces of rodents, that are found In Europe and Asia hantaviruses named: Hantaan, Seoul and

It is reported about a 56 years old woman returned from Mombaza, who was brought into hospital with high fever, jaundice and somnolence and died forty hours later in coma, anuria und hematemesis. The diagnosis of cerebral malaria resulted from autopsy. By the histological examination numerous

The concept of osmotic stability during renal replacement therapy has received limited attention thus far. We report an illustrative case of a previously healthy 22 year old male presenting after prolonged ventricular fibrillation with 75 minutes of resuscitative efforts before regaining spontaneous

BACKGROUND Pulmonary thromboembolism is a clinical and pathophysiological condition caused by occlusion of pulmonary arteries by thrombotic embolus. Deep venous thrombosis needn't necessarily be evident. Acute renal insufficiency is a syndrome manifested by rapid decrease or even complete urinary

Patients scheduled for operation of an abdominal aortic aneurysm are a challenge to the anesthesiologist due to multiple coexisting diseases and serious intraoperative hemodynamic changes caused by cross-clamping. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of intra- and postoperative

A full term newborn female, 3262g, aspirated meconium at birth and began to suffer from severe hypoxia and acidosis due to progressing pneumonitis, pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum. She also had severe hypotension and anuria. Venoarterial ECLA with a Kolobow membrane lung via the right internal

Renal tubular dysgenesis is a clinical disorder that is observed in fetuses and characterized by the absence or poor development of proximal tubules, early onset and persistent oligohydramnios that leads to the Potter sequence, and skull ossification defects. It may be acquired during fetal

In humans, urine formation starts with the metanephros at the 10th week of gestation. Nephrogenesis progresses during gestation and is achieved around the 35th week. Clamping of the cord is the signal for a striking increase in renal function which reaches mature levels at the end of the first year
