Hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and transient hypoparathyroidism during therapy with potassium phosphate in diabetic ketoacidosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of intravenous administration of potassium phosphate in the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis were studied in nine children, ages 9 9/12 to 17 10/12 yr. During phosphate infusion (20--40 meq/L of fluid), all children maintained normal serum concentrations of phosphorus. Transient

Renal effects of calcitonin and parathyroid extract in man. Studies in hypoparathyroidism.

Only registered users can translate articles

To clarify the controversial renal action of calcitonin (CT) and a possible interrelationship between CT and parathyroid hormone, eight patients with untreated surgical hypoparathyroidism were studied. Various calcitonins, i.e. extracted porcine, synthetic porcine, synthetic human, and synthetic

Renal responses to PTH in patients with hormone-resistant (pseudo) hypoparathyroidism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Five patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism were compared to normal subjects and patients with hypoparathyroidism in their ability to respond to the infusion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by altering excretion of calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphate and bicarbonate. In patients with

Case of hypoparathyroidism, deafness and renal dysplasia (HDR) syndrome associated with nephrocalcinosis and distal renal tubular acidosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hypoparathyroidism, deafness and renal dysplasia (HDR) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and renal dysplasia. Herein, we report a case of HDR syndrome associated with nephrocalcinosis and distal renal tubular acidosis. A

[45Ca2+ and 3H-GABA transport in nerve endings separated from the cerebral cortex of rats with hypoparathyroidism].

Only registered users can translate articles

Ca2+ blood serum level was reduced by 34.5% in rats with hypoparathyroidism (HPT) on the 7th-12th day after the damage of parathyroid glands. Synaptosomes isolated from the brain cortex of rats during this period accumulated in a normal medium more 45Ca2+ than synaptosomes from healthy animals. In

Fanconi's syndrome in a dog with primary hypoparathyroidism.

Only registered users can translate articles

An 11-year-old castrated male mixed breed dog was referred for evaluation of muscle twitching, polyuria, polydipsia, anorexia, and periocular alopecia. Primary hypoparathyroidism was diagnosed by documenting decreased serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone and ionized calcium. Neurological,

An interesting case of primary hypoparathyroidism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Primary hypoparathyroidism can occur due to an activating mutation of calcium sensing receptor (CaSR). Most patients remain asymptomatic and therefore not diagnosed until adulthood. We present a 38-year-old lady who had a history of muscle cramps since 8 years. She presented with vomiting, abdomen

Hypocalcemia with hypoparathyroidism and renal tubular dysfunction associated with aminoglycoside therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Seventeen patients with malignant disease developed a complex metabolic syndrome of 2-8 weeks' duration characterized by hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia following administration of the aminoglycoside group of antibiotics. Gentamicin, Tobramycin, Amikacin, and Sisomicin were all

The interactions of thiazide diuretics with parathyroid hormone and vitamin D. Studies in patients with hypoparathyroidism.

Only registered users can translate articles

In order to clarify the mechanisms of thiazide diuretic-induced hypocalciuria, the effect of a thiazide was studied for 7 days in seven patients with hypoparathyroidism on Vitamin D and one on calcium infusion, and seven euparathyroid patients with hypercalciuria. In the control group, calcium

Impact of potassium iodide on thyroidectomy for Graves' disease: Implications for safety and operative difficulty.

Only registered users can translate articles

Potassium iodide often is prescribed prior to thyroidectomy for Graves' disease, but the effect of potassium iodide on the ease and safety of thyroidectomy for Graves' is largely unknown. We conducted a prospective, cohort study of patients with Graves' disease undergoing thyroidectomy. For the

Preoperative Potassium Iodide Treatment in Patients Undergoing Thyroidectomy for Graves' Disease-Perspective of a European High-Volume Center

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: Potassium iodide (KI) treatment affects the vascularity of the thyroid gland and therefore may improve intraoperative visualization of essential structures. However, clear evidence for its usage is lacking, and its implementation in patients suffering

The Daily Consumption of Cola Can Determine Hypocalcemia: A Case Report of Postsurgical Hypoparathyroidism-Related Hypocalcemia Refractory to Supplemental Therapy with High Doses of Oral Calcium.

Only registered users can translate articles

The consumption of soft drinks is a crucial factor in determining persistent hypocalcemia. The aim of the study is to evaluate the biochemical mechanisms inducing hypocalcemia in a female patient with usual high consumption of cola drink and persistent hypocalcemia, who failed to respond to high

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the levels of some essential elements in thalassemic patients in Mosul, Iraq. METHODS One hundred and five thalassemic blood transfusion dependent children, 2.5-18 years of age attending Ibn-Al-Atheer teaching hospital in Mosul City, Iraq, during 2005, were used in this study.

Effect of parathyroidectomy on cardiac fibrosis and apoptosis: possible role of aldosterone.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE It has been demonstrated that parathyroidectomy prevents left ventricular hypertrophy in uremic animals. Although this effect may be mediated by direct actions of parathormone (PTH), it may also be exerted through regulation of profibrotic factors such as aldosterone. In adrenal cortex

Surgery still has a role in Graves' hyperthyroidism.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND A recent survey of American thyroidologists defining their management of a 43-year-old woman with hyperthyroid Graves' disease and a thyroid weighing 40 to 50 grams revealed that 69% recommended iodine 131 therapy, 30% prolonged antithyroid drug therapy, and only 1% operation. If the
