hyperuricemia/vomiting

On about one fourth of the patients ureteral colics caused by oxalate and phosphate calculi lead to a reversible hyperuricemia. This result seems to be important, because we might wrongly diagnose a uric acid calculus. The reason for hyperuricemia is a temporary diuretic disturbance of the uric

Elevated serum levels of uric acid are caused by increased production or decreased renal excretion. Another cause of the disorder which is less familiar is hyperuricemia following rotavirus infection. This is a case study of a girl who was admitted for abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and diarrhea.

Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of gluconeogenesis resulting in severe and recurrent life-threatening episodes of hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis in infancy. We report a 16 month-old girl who presented with recurrent episodes of vomiting, rapid

A 49 year old female patient with anorexia nervosa was admitted to the hospital because of treatment-refractory hyperuricemia and gout. Medical history and clinical findings were compatible with primary gout and uric acid nephropathy. The patient stated that she regularly took allopurinol. In the

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) with elevated serum uric acid (UA) levels has been reported in patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). AKI is thought to result from tubular obstruction by UA crystals. Inducing a diuresis may ameliorate the oligoanuria in such patients. We describe a

Acute fatty liver of pregnancy, with a case history where an early diagnosis could have been made, and a review of the French literature. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy, or Sheehan's syndrome is a rare but very serious complication of pregnancy. The disease is demonstrated by vomiting, abdominal

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is a rare, x-linked, recessive disorder of purine metabolism resulting in hyperuricemia, spasticity, choreoathetosis, dystonia, self-injurious behavior, and aggression, without significant cognitive impairment. Anesthetic management of inpatients who demonstrate classic

Acute metabolic decompensation (AMD) of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) must be promptly recognized and treated. In this study, we aimed to identify simple variables associated with AMD in children with MSUD for use in emergency settings. Data were collected retrospectively from 115 emergency

To investigate the usefulness of allopurinol for the treatment of hyperuricemia in birds, experimental studies were performed using the physiologically occurring post-prandial hyperuricaemia in birds of prey as a model. Pre-and post-prandial plasma concentrations of allopurinol, oxypurinol,

OBJECTIVE Outcomes of treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) remain poor worldwide. Among patients with MDR-TB in Belarus who started treatment in 2012, only 54% completed it successfully, with treatment failure reported in 22% of the patients; additionally, 11% died and 13% were

Laxative abuse syndrome (LAS) is a type of Münchausen syndrome characterized by surreptitious abuse of purgatives. Clinical findings are often perplexing and may mimic inflammatory bowel disease or malabsorption syndromes. Patients frequently complain of diarrhea alternating with constipation and

Rationale: Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) is an X-linked recessive disorder presenting with uric acid overproduction, neurocognitive disability, and behavioral disturbances. Inhalational anesthesia has been frequently used in LNS patients

The acute tumor lysis syndrome (ATLS) is characterized by the rapid development of hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acute renal failure (ARF). Hematologic malignancies are responsible for most cases of ATLS. Control of hyperuricemia and the achievement of a high urine flow are the

Aminothiadiazole was used to treat 21 patients with metastatic or recurrent leiomyosarcoma of the uterus. All patients received a starting dose of aminothiadiazole of 125 mg/m2 intravenously (30-to-45-minute infusion), which was repeated at weekly intervals. All patients also took allopurinol 300 mg

Hypomagnesemia in childhood is relatively frequently noted in the neonatal period due to maternal causes, such as decreased intake due to vomiting, overuse of laxatives, and neonatal causes such as intrauterine growth retardation, birth asphyxia and exchange transfusion. A very rare cause of
