uric acid/vomiting

We report five cases of vomiting associated with a very important increase of maternal plasma uric acid (> 595 mmol/l, 100 mg/l) at the third trimester of pregnancy. In all cases, elevation was transitory and regressive with rehydratation. Pregnancies proceeded normally to term and delivered healthy

We present two cases of a 12-year-old Japanese boy and a 14-year-old Japanese girl who had exercise-induced acute renal failure (ARF). They experienced general fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and vague discomfort in the abdomen after physical exercise at school. In case of the boy, abdominal pain

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

The anti-emetic effect, safety and clinical usefulness of ondansetron for the treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by anticancer drugs including cisplatin, was evaluated by a multi-institutional study in patients with various malignancies. In this study, ondansetron was given intravenously with

Although gout and hyperuricaemia are usually thought of as conditions of indulgent male middle age, in addition to the well-known uricosuria of the newborn, there is much of importance for the paediatric nephrologist in this field. Children and infants may present chronically with stones or acutely

This report is a 17-year-old man with an acute renal failure who complained of nausea, vomiting, bilateral loin pain and abdominal pain after scuffle. Renal biopsy specimen obtained from the left kidney revealed acute tubular necrosis. After recovering renal function he showed extreme hypouricemia

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

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

A young male patient was admitted to our hospital with history of dysuria, recurrent vomiting, severe muscle pain and weakness which was induced by a session of rigorous exercise for the first time in the local gymnasium. He was subsequently diagnosed with exercise-induced acute kidney injury and

This was an open-label study in 19 children aged 9-13 years, weighing 27-44 kg, with bronchial asthma. Twenty-four-hour steady-state concentrations of theophylline and its metabolites 1,3-dimethyl uric acid, 3-methyl xanthine and 1-methyl uric acid were assessed after daily dosing of 600 mg (ca 18

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.

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,

Five cases of acute fatty liver of pregnancy are described. These are the only recognized cases of this disorder occurring in a 2 year period in Western Australia. Clinical and laboratory features are presented. There was no maternal death. Of the six babies, there were three intrauterine deaths,

Symptomatic ejaculatory duct (ED) calculi, typically composed of uric acid, carbonate apatite and calcium phosphate, or calcium phosphate in the form of hydroxyapatite, are rare occurrences. We report a case of bilateral, large ED calculi in a patient with spina bifida myelomeningocele and an
