Hyperosmolar non-ketotic hyperglycaemia during oral diazoxide therapy of prolonged hyperglycaemia in infancy.
Diazoxide is a benzothiadiazine derivative, chemically closely related to thiazide diuretics but lacking diuretic activity. Fajans et al (1968) have recorded this agent's ability of supress insulin release from normal and abnormal islet cell tissue. This property was exploited in the treatment of our patient, a 16 week-old infant with severe, prolonged symtomatic hypoglycaemia. Unfortunate adve...
متن کاملOsmolar relation between cerebrospinal fluid and serum in hyperosmolar hypernatraemic dehydration.
The relation between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum osmolality was studied in 16 patients with hyperosmolar hypernatraemic dehydration before treatment. After correcting shock and acidosis, 0-45% saline in 2-5 or 5% dextrose was infused in each patient over a 48- to 72-hour period. During rehydration, serum osmolality, electrolyte concentrations, urea nitrogen, and blood pH were measured s...
متن کاملHyperglycaemia in infantile gastroenteritis.
The prevalence and pathogenesis of hyperglycaemia were investigated in a consecutive series of 27 black infants admitted to hospital with gastroenteritis over a period of three months. Hyperglycaemia (plasma glucose concentration greater than 10 mmol/l) occurred in 15 (55%) of these patients. The pathogenesis was not clear but possible contributory factors included raised concentrations of the ...
متن کاملHyperosmolar non-ketotic diabetes.
Hyperosmolar non-ketotic crises occur chiefly in mild, maturity-onset diabetics, yet present a medical emergency carrying a high mortality. This may in part be due to a lack of awareness of the clinical presentation, and of the principles of treatment. Five cases are described, in all of which excessive consumption of Lucozade, a proprietary 'glucose' drink, played an important part in the deve...
متن کاملHyperglycaemia in infantile gastroenteritis
We read with interest the paper by Rabinowitz et al.' Our own impressions were at variance with his figures. To verify our views we analysed 33 cases of acute gastroenteritis treated within our hospital in the last six months. All patients admitted with acute gastroenteritis have urea and electrolytes determinations before treatment is started. In our laboratory, blood glucose estimation is per...
