We describe a patient who presented with epileptic seizures unresponsive to anticonvulsive treatment. Laboratory investigations demonstrated epileptiform seizure activity in the brain but also revealed severe hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated serum parathyroid hormone. In addition, the
To identify whether serum uric acid levels are significantly higher in patients with benign convulsion associated with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) than in patients with acute gastroenteritis.This retrospective study compared the serum levels of uric acid Acute hyperuricemia most commonly occurs in patients who experience tumor lysis syndrome. Hyperuricemia along with other electrolyte abnormalities like hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia leads to acute kidney injury (AKI) due to acute uric acid nephropathy which is associated with
Kainic acid (KA) causes seizures and extensive brain damage in rats. To study the effects of KA on the redox state in cerebral cortex extracellular fluid (ECF), ascorbic and uric acid concentrations were measured in intracerebral microdialysis samples before and after systemic KA administration
Recent evidence points at an important role of endogenous cell-damage induced pro-inflammatory molecules in the generation of epileptic seizures. Uric acid, under the form of monosodium urate crystals, has shown to have pro-inflammatory properties in the body, but less is known about its role in
This corrects the article on p. 496 in vol. 15, PMID: 31591838.
In this study, we examined the association between serum uric acid levels and epilepsy secondary to cerebral infarction. Clinical data including age, gender, epileptic seizure type, imaging, and serum uric acid levels before and after seizures in patients with cerebral infarction that were collected
We analyzed the blood cell count and serum biochemistry findings in patients demonstrating convulsion with mild gastroenteritis (CwG). As a control group, age matched patients presenting with only gastroenteritis during the same period were compared. The results showed significant differences
Early recognition of refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is essential to select an appropriate treatment strategy and is closely associated with the outcome. Only few studies of RSE biomarkers exist; hence, we investigated the serum levels of uric acid (UA), albumin, and C-reactive Allopurinol, an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, is indicated in the management of patients with elevated serum and urinary uric acid levels. It was also reported to be beneficial in patients with epilepsy when added to traditional antiepileptic drug. Here, we investigated the effect of allopurinol
Catabolites of purine nucleotides were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of newborn infants with sepsis, seizures and hydrocephalus using isocratic reversed-phase HPLC. The inosine levels in the CSF of the infants with any of the illnesses were significantly higher when compared with the
Cardiazol induced seizures in rabbits showed that the highest oxypurine concentrations can be detected in the CSF 1 hour after the convulsions. There is a sharp decline continuing until the third hour. After that the CSF values remain nearly constant until the 24th hour being about ten times higher
