Acute silica toxicity: attenuation by amiodarone-induced pulmonary phospholipidosis.
Exposure to the toxic mineral dust silica has been shown to produce an acute inflammatory response in the lungs of both humans and laboratory animals. Coating silica with phospholipids reduces its toxicity when studied with in vitro systems. The drug amiodarone increases phospholipid within the cells, airways, and alveoli of the lungs. This increase in phospholipid is due to amiodarone's abilit...
متن کاملAmiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity
Amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity is a critical and potentially fatal side effect of amiodarone. Our study was designed to reveal its clinical features, including KL-6, as an interstitial marker. The medical records of eight patients (five men and three women) with amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity, who had been referred to our hospital, were examined. The mean age at the initiation of ...
متن کاملAcute amiodarone-induced lung toxicity
The toxic effects of amiodarone on the lung are well recognised, but the rapid onset of those effects, especially in the presence of high inspired oxygen concentrations, are perhaps not adequately appreciated. This may be a potential problem in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where amiodarone is frequently used in the treatment of tachydysrhythmias in patients with acute respiratory distress synd...
متن کاملAcute Amiodarone Pulmonary Toxicity Following Lung Resection
Amiodarone is one of the most frequently prescribed antiarrhythmic agents. Despite its widespread use, it is associated with systemic side effects. Pulmonary toxicity, the most severe adverse effect of amiodarone, has usually been described in the context of chronic amiodarone use. We report a case of an 80-year-old male presenting acutely following right upper lung lobe resection for stage 1b ...
متن کاملClinical features of amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity.
The incidence and clinical predictors of amiodarone pulmonary toxicity were examined in 573 patients treated with amiodarone for recurrent ventricular (456 patients) or supraventricular (117 patients) tachyarrhythmias. Amiodarone pulmonary toxicity was diagnosed in 33 of the 573 patients (5.8%), based on symptoms and new chest radiographic abnormalities (32 of 33 patients) and supported by abno...
