uremia/vomiting

BACKGROUND Nausea and vomiting are well-known gastrointestinal complications in chronic renal failure and are frequent indications for the commencement of dialysis. Although the administration of antiemetic drugs (metoclopramide and, recently, ondansetron) is usually mentioned, there are scanty data

Vomiting is a protective reflex that results in forceful ejection of stomach contents up to and out of the mouth. It is a common complaint and may be the presenting symptom of several life-threatening conditions. It can be caused by a variety of organic and nonorganic disorders; gastrointestinal

A 50-year-old diabetic woman experiencing 20 episodes of vomiting each day was admitted to the hospital. When vigorous medical management failed to control the vomiting, psychiatric consultation indicated that psychological factors, especially displaced anger and an early childhood history of

The physiologic similarities between itch and nausea may not be evident initially, but they share the role of repelling irritants and toxins from the body by inducting scratching and vomiting, respectively. In addition, itch and nausea frequently occur together in certain conditions such as uraemia.

Vomiting is the forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth, caused by humoral stimulation of the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CRTZ) or neural stimulation of the emetic center. The CRTZ is activated and controlled by neurotransmitter manipulation at the receptor level. Clinical signs

Anorexia, nausea and vomiting are common symptoms in patients with severe renal failure. Abnormalities in body fluids volume, serum electrolytes concentrations and acid-base balance and accumulations of uremic toxic substances might be primarily contributing to the suppression of appetite. However,

Dogs and cats with uremia may display abnormalities of essentially all parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Abnormalities may be mild or severe. They may result from inflammation, edema, erosions, ulceration, and/or necrosis. Clinical signs of GI complications or uremia may include anorexia,

Twenty patients with end-stage renal disease and a creatinine clearance of less than 5 ml/min were tre ated with oral gastrointestinal (GI) dialysis. The dialyzate contained an electrolyte solution with 180-220mmoles/l of mannitol. In fasting state in the morning the self-prepared 7 liters of

UNASSIGNED With marijuana legalization, clinicians need to be aware of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), which may masquerade as other disease states such as uremia. UNASSIGNED A 37-year-old man with bipolar affective disease treated with lithium had progressive renal insufficiency presumably

Severe uremia is now a rare occurrence in most developed nations, and yet is still present in many countries of the world. It includes clinical manifestations such as calciphylaxis and uremic frost, which are now rarely seen. Patients with extremely high levels of blood urea nitrogen (above 175

Gastrointestinal mucosal abnormalities ranging from edema to ulceration occur in two thirds of patients dying of uremia. Early studies suggested that uremic patients on maintenance dialysis treatment were at increased risk of peptic ulceration but more recent data indicate that this is not so. Other

Carcinoma of cervix is the most common cancer in developing countries. Majority of them present in locally advanced stages. A 36-year-old lady presented with bleeding and white discharge per vagina since four months, vomiting and reduced urine output since two weeks. Patient had an exophytic
