Managing fluid and electrolyte disorders in renal failure.
Because of the role of the kidneys in maintaining homeostasis in the body, kidney failure leads to derangements of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. The most effective therapy of a uremic crisis is careful management of fluid balance, which involves thoughtful assessment of hydration, a fluid treatment plan personalized for the specific patient, repeated and frequent reassessment of fl...
متن کاملElectrolyte disorders and arrhythmogenesis.
Electrolyte disorders can alter cardiac ionic currents kinetics and depending on the changes can promote proarrhythmic or antiarrhythmic effects. The present report reviews the mechanisms, electrophysiolgical (EP), electrocardiographic (ECG), and clinical consequences of electrolyte disorders. Potassium (K⁺) is the most abundent intracellular cation and hypokalemia is the most commont electroly...
متن کاملCommon Electrolyte Disorders: Hyponatremia
Hospital Physician January 2009 23 Hyponatremia represents an abnormal ratio of total body sodium to water and is commonly defined as a plasma sodium concentration less than 135 mEq/L (1 mEq/L = 1 mmol/L).1–7 Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality in hospitalized patients, with mild hyponatremia (plasma sodium < 135 mEq/L) present in approximately 15% to 22% of patients, modera...
متن کاملFrequency and type of renal and electrolyte disorders in fulminant hepatic failure.
Of 48 patients with fulminant hepatic failure who progressed to grade III or IV encephalopathy 38 showed evidence of renal impairment. In 32 of these patients the underlying cause could be placed initially into one of three categories-prerenal uraemia (4 patients), acute tubular necrosis (16), and "functional renal failure" (12). The latter differed in several respects from that seen with liver...
متن کاملElectrolyte disorders associated with cancer.
Patients with malignancies commonly experience abnormalities in serum electrolytes, including hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hypophosphatemia, and hypercalcemia. In many cases, the causes of these electolyte disturbances are due to common etiologies not unique to the underlying cancer. However, at other times, these electrolyte disorders signal the presence of paraneoplastic processes...
