Cerebral edema after rapid dialysis is not caused by an increase in brain organic osmolytes.
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is characterized by the neurologic deterioration and cerebral edema that occurs after hemodialysis. To investigate the pathogenesis of DDS, the effects of rapid hemodialysis on brain electrolytes, urea, and several organic osmolytes were studied in the rat. Forty-two h after bilateral ureteral ligation, 11 uremic rats were hemodialyzed for 90 min, yielding...
متن کاملHigh-altitude pulmonary edema is initially caused by an increase in capillary pressure.
BACKGROUND High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is characterized by severe pulmonary hypertension and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid changes indicative of inflammation. It is not known, however, whether the primary event is an increase in pressure or an increase in permeability of the pulmonary capillaries. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied pulmonary hemodynamics, including capillary pressure dete...
متن کاملStroke in MELAS is a Vasogenic Edema and Not Ischemic
We read with interest the article by Almasi et al. on a 48 years old female patient with Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, And Stroke-like episodes (MELAS), diagnosed based on the clinical presentation, blood test results, and imaging and muscle biopsy findings . We have the following comments and concerns.
متن کاملIntraventricular fibrinolysis does not increase perihemorrhagic edema after intracerebral hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Additional intraventricular hemorrhage leads to higher mortality and worse functional outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Intraventricular fibrinolysis (IVF) with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) is an emerging treatment strategy for such patients. However, experimental studies suggest that rtPA may exert proedematous effects and lead to increased...
متن کاملIs dialysis hypotension caused by an abnormality of venous tone?
The role of peripheral vascular tone in the development of hypotension induced by dialysis was investigated in eight patients undergoing haemodialysis with acetate or bicarbonate buffered fluid. Each patient had two sessions of dialysis with acetate fluid and two with bicarbonate fluid in the order acetate, bicarbonate, bicarbonate, acetate or bicarbonate, acetate, acetate, bicarbonate. Mean ar...
