Haemostatic mechanism in uraemia.
The haemostatic mechanism was investigated in 20 patients with renal failure, of whom nine had evidence of a bleeding tendency. A defect of platelet function was the most common finding. The effect of dialysis on the bleeding state is briefly discussed, and a scheme for the routine investigation of haemostasis in renal failure is put forward.
متن کاملCaecal pH and ammonia in experimental uraemia.
Urea is freely diffusible from the blood into the lumen of the alimentary tract, where it is converted by the enzyme urease into ammonia and CO2. Tracer studies indicate that at least 25% of the urea in the body undergoes hydrolysis within the gut (Walser and Bodenlos, 1959), but a proportion of the ammonia produced is absorbed and re-synthesized to urea in the liver. The practical importance o...
متن کاملUraemia and haemorrhagic complications of phenylbutazone therapy.
Toxic effects associated with phenylbutazone therapy such as oedema, various types of skin rashes, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, haemorrhagic manifestations and gastro-intestinal disorders are well known. Oedema was considered to be solely due to sodium retention and of little significance until Bruck et al. (I954) first suggested that a toxic effect on the kidney was induced by the drug, ...
متن کاملSchwann cell dysfunction in uraemia.
Examination of individual sural nerve fibres revealed segmental demyelination, in 10 out of 12 subjects with uraemia. Peripheral neuropathy was present in only two cases. The complex biochemical changes occurring with dialysis unmask the underlying demyelination in subjects with a latent neuropathy. This would explain the precipitation of a neuropathy in those subjects submitted for repeated di...
متن کاملUraemia-associated cardiovascular and lung injury
Sir, Dr Yuan recently reported the interesting case of a 23year-old dialysis patient with extensive calcifications, including lung calcifications [1]. We similarly encountered a young patient who had developed severe lung calcifications, which proved reversible after intensifying the dialysis regimen and optimization of the calcium–phosphate regulation. This patient is a 29-year-old woman with ...
