Disturbances of Na/K balance: pseudohypoaldosteronism revisited.
Introduction Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) is a heterogenous syndrome resulting from the inability for aldosterone to produce one of its physiologic effects, namely the promotion of potassium and hydrogen secretion. It is thus characterized by three essential features: (1) hyperkalemia, (2) metabolic acidosis, and (3) abnormally elevated plasma aldosterone concentrations. It has been classified...
متن کاملeonatal Acid Base Balance and Disturbances
aintaining acid base balance presents a considerable challenge to the growing neonate. The infant ust ingest protein for growth and development. The metabolism of sulfur containing amino acids eads to the production of protons that must be secreted by the kidney. In addition, the formation of ydroxyapatite for the mineralization of growing bone also leads to acid production. Thus, the rowing in...
متن کاملThe energy balance of polars revisited
In the EXOSAT and ROSAT eras a significant number of polars were found to show a soft/hard X-ray ratio much greater than that expected from the standard accretion shock model. This was known as the ‘soft X-ray excess’. We have made an snapshot survey of polars using XMM-Newton and determined their soft/hard ratios. We find that less than one in five of systems show a significant soft X-ray exce...
متن کاملDisturbances of dynamic balance in phasic cervical dystonia.
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively assess control of balance under static and dynamic conditions in patients with tonic and phasic cervical dystonia. METHODS Ten patients with purely tonic cervical dystonia with fixed postural deviation and 20 patients with cervical dystonia with phasic head movements were investigated at least 3 months after botulinum toxin injections. Seventeen age matched volunte...
متن کاملDisturbances in Acid-Base Balance in Patients on Hemodialysis
The prevalence of metabolic acidosis increases in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients ac‐ cording to the fall in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In early stages of renal dysfunction acid retention is mainly due to the reduced tubular ammonium (NH4+) secretion. As GFR de‐ clines retention of organic acids (HSO4, HPO4) is also observed. The acid load resultant from diet and protein catabolism...
