anuria/potassium

ABSTRACT. Licorice-associated hypertension is thought to be due to increased renal sodium retention. The active compound of licorice, glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), inhibits renal 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11beta-HSD2) and by that mechanism increases access of cortisol to the

Our objective is to show that cyanide poisoning presents with various symptoms, and that recognition of these symptoms is required for appropriate management of the condition. A 54-year-old man drank about 2.5 times the normal fatal dose of potassium cyanide in a suicide attempt. On arrival at

Alterations in serum potassium are common in many diseases. In a series of 390 determinations of serum potassium, the levels found were low in 24 per cent and high in 2.6 per cent. The major causes of low serum potassium are (1) decreased potassium intake due to intravenous feedings which do not

BACKGROUND Urinary lithiasis is one of severe postoperative complications in patients undergoing renal transplantation, possibly leading to anuria, urinary infection, or even acute renal failure. Potassium sodium hydrogen citrate (PSHC), a potassium-bearing citrate, is commonly prescribed to prevent

OBJECTIVE To explore the safety and clinical efficacy of intravenous infusion of concentrated potassium chloride using micro-pumps in critically ill patients with hypokalemia. METHODS One hundred and twenty-eight critically ill patients with hypokalemia, the endogenous creatinine clearance rate over

We analyzed routine serum potassium concentration measurements and conditions temporally associated with abnormalities in potassium concentration in outpatients on chronic hemodialysis (136 nondiabetics, 36 diabetics) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (16 nondiabetics, 10 diabetics). The

We present a case of a 22-year-old male who, in a suicide attempt, ingested approximately 200 g of potassium chlorate. Upon admission to the hospital, he presented in full respiratory failure with cyanosis. Methylene blue antidote was given but found to be ineffective. The patient was intubated and

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of different treatment plans for calculus anuria in children. METHODS Patients were subdivided into three groups, A, B and C. Group A included patients who were critically ill, had serum creatinine> or =3.5mg/dl, blood urea> or =100mg/dl, serum potassium> or =7meq/l

OBJECTIVE To present our clinical outcomes in the management of anuria in adult patients caused by ureteral calculi by using of ureteroscopy and holmium laser. METHODS Nineteen patients presented with calcular anuria with ages between 19 and 48 years. The presentation was anuria with serum
