We report a case of factitious hyponatremia in a boy who had received a bone marrow transplant for acute myeloid leukemia. Following transplantation, he developed graft-versus-host disease and obstructive jaundice. The pseudohyponatremia was found to be due to hyperlipidemia, but there were some
The ketoacidosis coma is described with plasma lipids at 270 g/l and hyperchylomicronemia. That is completed by a xanthomatosis rash and false hyponatremia (91 mEq/L). This fact is important because the prognosis is better than hyponatremia of ketoacidosis, after treatment evolution is good.
The objective of treating patients with hypertension is not simply to reduce blood pressure but rather to prevent the associated morbidity and mortality. Recent assessments of clinical trials have shown that while the risk of stroke is consistently lower with antihypertensive therapy, the same
Norethindrone acetate/ethinyl estradiol (Estrostep; Warner Chilcott, Rockaway, New Jersey) is an "estrophasic" type of oral contraceptive, which combines a continuous low progestin dose with a gradually increasing estrogen dose. In clinical trials, this medication failed to produce clinically
BACKGROUND
Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a condition associated with extremely high triglycerides (TG) plasma concentrations exceeding 1000mg/dl. This condition may result in mutations in genes encoding lipoprotein lipase (LPL), apolipoprotein C2 (APOC2) and apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) characterized
It is difficult to predict the prognosis or clinical course of secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) due to the various underlying causes. The authors analyzed the clinical and laboratory findings and outcomes in patients with HLH who had initially been diagnosed with Kawasaki disease
BACKGROUND
Diabetes mellitus is accompanied with drastic hormonal and metabolic alterations. In uncontrolled diabetes, these disturbances worsen the condition leading to development of life threatening complications. Present study was planned to compare hormonal and metabolic disturbances in
This is a report of a case of glomerular lipidosis with familial combined hyperlipidemia and panhypopituitarism. A 60-yr-old woman was admitted for evaluation of hyponatremia. Administration of hydrocortisone normalized the level of serum Na. A pituitary hormone-stimulating test and brain computed
A 48-year-old male presented to the psychiatric emergency room for dysmorphic mood. He was admitted to medical service for the management of hyponatremia, which was discovered in his initial laboratory workup. After the first day of admission, he developed abdominal pain and fever, and subsequent
The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence that pregnancy has on the progression of primary nephrotic syndrome (NS). We investigated in pregnant rats the clinical characteristics of NS, including urinary protein concentration, serum albumin, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea,
Diabetic lipemia with and without acute pancreatitis in chronic alcoholism. A report of 4 cases. Diabetic lipemia was observed in 4 chronic alcoholic men after ingestion of high doses of alcohol and/or sugar-rich beverages, including one patient who was treated for insulin-dependent diabetes. None
Hypovolemic shock is not an uncommon presentation in nephrotic syndrome, yet it is seldom mentioned in the literature. This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of hypovolemia and hypovolemic shock in the acute nephrotic stage, and the association of hemoconcentration and abdominal pain
To describe a case of pseudohyponatremia in the setting of hypercholesterolemia.A 69-year-old man was admitted to the hospital after asymptomatic hyponatremia was detected on follow-up blood work for acute, drug-induced cholestatic BACKGROUND
Older dibenzazepines with a carboxamide substitution have been demonstrated to cause deleterious effects on lipid metabolism profile, as well as frequent hyponatremia. The aim of our study is to assess the effects of eslicarbazepine acetate, a novel AED, on lipid metabolism profile,
Propanil stress response in the eel (Anguilla anguilla) was examined. Eels were exposed to 3.16 mg/L for 72 hr and allowed to recover for 96 hr. Plasma levels of cortisol, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose,
