uric acid/癲癇性発作

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

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

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
