Congestive heart failure (CHF) and hyperkalemia are the two leading reasons for emergency dialysis among individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). While hemodialysis provides definitive treatment of both hyperkalemia and volume overload among ESRD patients, for those who present outside of
The authors report two cases of heroin induced pulmonary edema. In both cases the severity of respiratory failure, attested by a deep hypoxemia (paO2 28 and 32 mmHg) and a metabolic and respiratory acidosis (pH 7.07 and 7.14) imposed an artificial ventilation with positive end expiratory pressure
Transient hyperkalemia has been reported to occur in patients with acute glomerulonephritis, but the pathogenetic mechanism has not been investigated systematically. We studied the mechanism of hyperkalemia (5.7 to 6.7 mmol/liter) in four men with post-infectious glomerulonephritis. All four
Hyperkalemia is frequent, but occurs mostly in patients with chronic kidney disease and is often the cause of discontinuation or omission of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors in patients with diabetes, chronic kidney disease and heart failure.
Without much evidence in the literature on
BACKGROUND
Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte disorder that arises from dysfunctional homeostatic mechanisms or as a consequence of decreased renal function. Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (ZS-9) is a potential new therapy for hyperkalemia in both acute and chronic settings.
METHODS
Here we
Drug-induced hyperkalemia is not uncommon and may be life-threatening when presenting acutely in the emergency department. We present a case of severe hyperkalemia precipitated acutely by etoricoxib in a patient who was on telmisartan and a low sodium (potassium chloride-rich) diet. A 75-year-old
Hyperkalemia is one of the most common electrolyte disturbances, especially among some groups of patients, such as in those with chronic kidney disease, diabetes or heart failure. Hyperkalemia has been associated with increased risks of mortality, arrhythmias, hospitalization and costs, as well as
Sodium and fluid retention is a hallmark and a therapeutic challenge of the nephrotic syndrome (NS). Studies support the "overfill" theory of NS with pathophysiological proteolytic activation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) which explains the common observation of suppressed renin
Serial measurements of plasma volume and ascites volume were made during treatment with large doses of oral diuretics in 14 patients with stable chronic liver disease. Eight patients had pitting edema in addition to ascites. Reproducibility of ascites and plasma volume measurements was verified in
BACKGROUND
Hyperkalemia is a common, sometimes fatal electrolyte abnormality seen in patients with heart failure (HF) or kidney disease. Acute treatments that cause the intracellular translocation of potassium can be effective in the short-term but they simply buy time until definitive removal by
BACKGROUND
Hyperkalemia is a serious medical condition that often manifests in patients with chronic kidney disease and heart failure. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors are known to improve outcomes in these disease states but can also cause drug-induced hyperkalemia. New therapeutic
