hypophosphatemia/hypoxia

Diabetes is associated with a fluctuating impairment in oxygen transport of the erythrocytes. This impairment is correlated with hyperglycemia by the formation of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAIC) and with inhibitory factors of glycolysis i.e. hypophosphatemia and acidosis which lower the

BACKGROUND Respiratory failure in severely hypophosphatemic patients has been attributed to respiratory muscle weakness, leading to ventilatory failure. While frequently documenting hypercarbic respiratory failure, previous reports of hypophosphatemia-related respiratory failure in patients

Phosphorus plays an essential role in cellular metabolism, especially in the oxidative phosphorylation process and in the synthesis of 2-3 DPG and membrane phospholipids. Moreover phosphorus is necessary as a buffer, mainly when the organism's principal buffer, the H2CO3/HCO3- system, is working at

The aim of the paper was to describe an unusual case of non lactic metabolic acidosis connected to hypophosphatemia and refractory to infusion of bicarbonate. A 37 year old man was admitted to Intensive Care Unit with a severe metabolic acidosis. On admission the arterial gas analysis showed non

Hypophosphatemia has been described in patients undergoing right hepatectomy for liver cancer and in living donors for liver transplantation who also received total parenteral nutrition. At the study centre, significant hypophosphatemia (0.36 mmol/L or less) requiring intravenous replacement was

BACKGROUND Hypophosphatemia may cause acute respiratory failure and tissue hypoxia. In this study we investigated the effect of hypophosphatemia on weaning success. METHODS A nested case-control study was conducted in a retrospective cohort of 76 patients who received invasive mechanical ventilation

We conducted this review to heighten the awareness and describe pathologic manifestations of hypophosphatemia. We present 3 cases of varied manifestations of hypophosphatemia where recognition was delayed. In certain settings, severe hypophosphatemia has significant morbidity and potential

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome in which ectopic production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) by non-malignant mesenchymal tumors causes phosphate wasting and bone fractures. Recent studies have implicated the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in other

A family with hypercalcemia in four members is reported. The proband, a newborn girl presenting with inadequate sucking due to muscle hypotonia, marked thoracic deformity due to decalcification, hypercalcemia, and hypophosphatemia, suffers from cerebral damage due to hypoxia despite successful total

To investigate whether combined continuous venovenous hemofiltration and hemoperfusion among paraquat-poisoned patients would improve survival. Prospective, controlled interventional study over 4 years. Single, tertiary, academic medical center. We recruited patients admitted to Shanghai Tenth

In end-stage heart failure, various acid-base disorders can be discovered due to the renal loss of hydrogen ions and hydrogen ion movements into cells, the reduction of the effective circulating volume, hypoxemia and renal failure. This justifies the occurrence of metabolic alkalosis, metabolic

Humans with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and Hyp mice, the murine homolog of the disease, develop severe osteoarthropathy and the precise factors that contribute to this joint degeneration remain largely unknown. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is a key regulatory growth factor in

Early in the progression of diabetes, a paradoxical metabolic imbalance in inorganic phosphate (Pi) occurs that may lead to reduced high energy phosphate and tissue hypoxia. These changes take place in the cells and tissues in which the entry of glucose is not controlled by insulin, particularly in

Respiratory insufficiency of any cause has significant effects on the nervous system. Headache, mental status changes, papilledema, and numerous motor abnormalities including asterixis are commonly seen. Abnormalities in ventilation and gas exchange result in hypoxia, hypercapnia, and respiratory
