uric acid/diarrhea

OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to determine the etiology of diarrhea in children with an age <5 years hospitalised for acute enteritis and to evidence the prevalent clinical aspects in correlation of different etiology agents. METHODS A total of 402 children with acute diarrhea were examined

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to elucidate a biochemical profile of patients with idiopathic uric acid nephrolithiasis, without secondary causes (such as dehydration or diarrhea). Study subjects comprised 56 patients with idiopathic uric acid nephrolithiasis (UA stone group) who

D-tagatose, a stereoisomer of D-fructose, is a naturally occurring ketohexose proposed for use as a low-calorie bulk sweetener. Ingested D-tagatose appears to be poorly absorbed. The absorbed portion is metabolized in the liver by a pathway similar to that of D-fructose. The main purpose of this

A 10-year-old golden retriever bitch was treated for diarrhea and vomiting that lasted about 1 month without a specific diagnosis until a hepatic biopsy provided a histopathologic diagnosis of lymphoma. The dog was referred to the Swedish University of Agricultural Science and treated with one dose

Uric acid stones occur in 10% of all kidney stones and are the second most-common cause of urinary stones after calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate calculi. The most important risk factor for uric acid crystallization and stone formation is a low urine pH (below 5.5) rather than an increased

An in-depth comprehension of the epidemiology as well as pathophysiology of uric acid urolithiasis is important for the identification, treatment, and prophylaxis of calculi in these patients. Persistently low urinary pH, hyperuricosuria, and low urinary volume are the most important factors in

Uric acid nephrolithiasis is characteristically a manifestation of a systemic metabolic disorder. It has a prevalence of about 10% among all stone formers, the third most common type of kidney stone in the industrialized world. Uric acid stones form primarily due to an unduly acid urine; less

Rotavirus (RV) is a common pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis in childhood. Some cases with RV infection also have prerenal renal failure induced by dehydration associated with vomiting and diarrhea. Here, we report 4 patients with RV infection who developed postrenal renal failure induced

Weight loss reduces many of the health hazards associated with obesity including insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, sleep apnea, hypoxemia and hypercarbia, and osteoarthritis. Potential adverse effects of weight loss include a greater risk for gallstone formation and

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.

Patients with ileal disease have increased absorption of dietary oxalate, hyperoxaluria, and an increased incidence of nephrolithiasis. Patients with steatorrhea of varying etiologies also have hyperoxaluria. To determine whether steatorrhea per se is associated with nephrolithiasis, we reviewed the

OBJECTIVE To test the safety, tolerance, and efficacy of extended-release niacin monotherapy on dyslipidemia in persons with chronic tetraplegia. METHODS Placebo-controlled, blinded, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. METHODS Three spinal cord injury research/rehabilitation

Urolithiasis is a problem that is generally increasing in the tropics as it is in most Western countries. There are 2 main types of the disorder-bladder stones in children, a form of the disorder that disappeared from Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and upper urinary tract stones

The efficacy and safety of gliclazide (Diamicron) were studied in 29 NIDDM patients (19 men and 10 women aged 25-68 years) who failed to improve with diet or with diet plus a sulfonylurea. All patients were overweight and had fasting blood glucose levels consistently above 150 mg/dl (8.24 mmol/l).

The goal of this study was to investigate metabolic risk factors in pediatric stone formers in an emerging economy. A prospective, data collection enrolled 250 children age <1-15 years at our center. Risk factors were evaluated by gender and in age groups <1-5, 6-10 and 11-15 years. Patients were
