Results Seventy-seven OI cases (39 male), which were diagnosed at the age of 1 9 years old were recorded. Five patients underwent surgery and three patients died before commencing treatment. Nine patients received intravenous pamidronate and sixteen patients received zolendronic acid therapy. Liver and renal functions, as well as serum electrolyte levels were evaluated before and after treatmen...

Results A 3 year 7 month old boy presented with enlargement of penis, acnes, pubic hair, deep voice. He admitted with his height of +2.3SDS, penis length of 6cm, testes volumn of 4ml, pubic hair P2 (tanner). Abdoment ultrasound and CT scan showed adrenal tumor. Serum laboratory showed: 17 OHP 3,8 ng/ml, testosteron 32,3 nmol/l, cortisol 8h 433,9 nmol/l, cortisol 22h 39,2 nmol/l, glucose 3,7 mmo...

Drug-induced electrolyte abnormalities have been increasingly reported and may be associated with considerable morbidity and/or mortality. In clinical practice, hypernatraemia (serum sodium higher than 145 mmol/L) is usually of multifactorial aetiology and drug therapy not infrequently is disregarded as a contributing factor for increased serum sodium concentration. Strategies to prevent this a...

Hyperkalemia after kidney transplantation is a common electrolyte disturbance and the risk factors are multifactorial. Pharmacotherapeutic agents for chronic management of hyperkalemia in kidney transplant patients may be relatively contraindicated or provide suboptimal efficacy. Fludrocortisone, an endogenous mineralocorticoid mimics the actions of aldosterone, hence hyperkalemia reversal. We ...

Background: Fluid and electrolyte derangement are the immediate causes that increases mortality in diarrhea. The present study was carried out among children of 4 months to 5 years with dehydration due acute diarrhea determine serum profile. Methods: A hospital based cross sectional department pediatrics, RIMS during a period two (sept 2019-Aug 2021). Results: total 195 patients age group prese...

the effect of three different levels of dietary electrolyte balance (deb), in mean values of 114, 183 and 250 (meq/kg), on broiler performance was evaluated. a number of 486 arian male chicks were employed in a randomaized block design of three replicates and 54 chicks in each level replication. diets were available to chicks ad lib and in three dietary phases. serum na+,k+, cl- concentrations ...

In experienced hands exchange transfusion carries a very low operative risk. Nevertheless, infants who are initially very anaemic present a grave problem as this treatment is their only hope of survival. There are also other infants who appear well at the start of the transfusion, but become ill or die during the procedure. Walker and Neligan (1955) discussed these problems and listed the proba...

Although there have been substantial evidences on the usefulness of electrolytes for the diagnosis of disease, the evidences for a direct link between serum sodium and serum potassium in relation to a specific disease are very limited. This study was performed to investigate an association between diseases and Na:K ratios in dogs. From January 1997 to December 1999, a total of 39 cases with an ...

• Water and electrolytes are important constituents of the blood vessel wall since they affect the chemical environment of vascular smooth muscle and connective tissue as well as the mechanical properties of the wall itself. For example, in hypertension the water and electrolyte contents of blood vessels have been found to be altered. 1 " 3 While the dog is frequently utilized in cardiovascular...

Editors,—I read with interest the article by Ruttmann, James and Aronson1 concerning haemodilution with hydroxethyl starch and normal saline. However, I disagree with their conclusion that they have shown that haemodilution per se exerted a procoagulant effect in both groups. Instead, I propose that their conclusion should be that they demonstrated that haemodilution with normal saline resulted...
