Experimental Hypocalcemia Induced by Hemodialysis in Goats.

Experimental hypocalcemia induced by hemodialysis in goats.

To evaluate whether hemodialysis with a dialysate containing no calcium (Ca-free HD) can induce hypocalcemia and restore the clinical signs and blood biochemical changes in naturally occurred hypocalcemic disorder in ruminants, the clinical signs and the changes in plasma electrolytes and minerals concentrations were observed in goats during 6-hr hemodialysis. The four goats received hemodialys...

Phototherapy-induced Hypocalcemia

Phototherapy-Induced Hypocalcemia in Icteric Newborns

Bakground: Phototherapy plays a significant role in the treatment and prevention of hyperbilirubinemia as well as the management of subsequent complications in the newborn.  However, this treatment modality may itself result in the development of hypocalcaemia and create serious complications including convulsion and related conditions. Objective: This study was under-taken to investigate photo...

hydrochlorothiazide detection in urine samples by hplc-dad and experimental design dispersive l-l microextraction

hydrochlorothiazide (hct) is a diuretic agent which is shown to be effective in the treatment of hypertension. literature reports have demonstrated that urinary excretion data may be used to assess the bioavailability of various formulations containing this thiazide. also hct consumption by the athletes is one of the drugs which should be regulated by world anti-doping agency (wada), because of...

Prevalence of Phototherapy-Induced Hypocalcemia

Background: Hyperbilirubinemia is the single most common abnormal physical finding in the first week of life and is commonly managed by phototherapy with its inherent complications.  A lesser known complication of the phototherapy is hypocalcemia. Objective: To study the prevalence of phototherapy-induced hypocalcemia and to compare it between premature and full-term babies. Methods: This study...
