Flash pulmonary edema: A rare cause and possible mechanisms
Flash pulmonary edema frequently develop in case of bilateral renal artery stenosis and unilateral renal artery stenosis with functional solitary kidney. In some rare cases, unilateral renal artery stenosis with bilaterally functional kidneys may also lead to flash pulmonary edema. Here, we present a case of flash pulmonary edema caused by accessory renal artery stenosis. To our knowledge, it i...
متن کاملAcute pulmonary oedema: rare causes and possible mechanisms.
Acute pulmonary oedema usually has a fatal outcome. In this clinical report, we present rare cases of pulmonary oedema that were associated with Japanese B encephalitis, lymphangitis in breast carcinoma, fat embolism due to long-bone fracture, and the rupture of cerebral mycotic aneurysms. A total of 18 patients in the four disease categories were collected in two teaching hospitals in Taipei a...
متن کامل["Flash" pulmonary edema as a clinical manifestation of renovascular hypertension].
One of the clinical manifestations of renovascular hypertension (RVH) may be a recurrent pulmonary oedema both in the absence or in the presence of systolic left ventricular dysfunction. This type of pulmonary oedema characterized as "flash" pulmonary oedema is ascribed to elevated angiotensin II concentrations with consequent hypertension as well as to volume overload resulting from decreased ...
متن کاملMechanisms of pulmonary edema clearance.
The mechanisms of pulmonary edema resolution are different from those regulating edema formation. Absorption of excess alveolar fluid is an active process that involves vectorial transport of Na+ out of alveolar air spaces with water following the Na+ osmotic gradient. Active Na+ transport across the alveolar epithelium is regulated via apical Na+ and chloride channels and basolateral Na-K-ATPa...
متن کاملMechanisms of neurogenic pulmonary edema.
The pulmonary edema that develops quickly after a variety of cerebral insults, such as head injury, epileptic seizures, intracranial hypertension, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, is often accompanied by rapid flooding of airways with a protein-rich edema fluid (Weisman, 1939; MacKay, 1950; Richards, 1963; Simmons et al., 1968; Ciongoli and Posner, 1972; Theodore and Robin, 1976; Fisher and AboulNa...
