Plasma cell vulvitis: a rare cause of intractable vulvar pruritus.
Comment. The association between TEN and the use of lamotrigine in patients has been previously reported with concomitant use of valproic acid and lamotrigine. It has been hypothesized that valproic acid may interfere with the metabolism of lamotrigine, leading to increased lamotrigine blood levels. Our patient acquired TEN as a result of lamotrigine being concomitantly used with carbamazepine....
متن کامل'Out-patient' albumin dialysis for cholestatic patients with intractable pruritus.
BACKGROUND Intractable pruritus is a major problem for some patients with cholestasis. Albumin dialysis has been shown to ameliorate pruritus, but long-term outcome data are limited. AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 'out-patient' albumin dialysis using the molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) in the treatment of intractable pruritus in cholestatic patients referred for li...
متن کاملStudy of plasma and red cell phospholipid fatty acids in extrahepatic cholestatic jaundice.
The poor outcome in patients with extrahepatic cholestatic jaundice seems in some way related to reticuloendothelial dysfunction. Similar dysfunction can be caused by abnormal tissue phospholipid fatty acid patterns. Little is, however, known about such patterns in extrahepatic cholestatic jaundice. The phospholipid fatty acid patterns in 42 controls were compared with 42 patients with extrahep...
متن کاملSafety and efficacy of long-term nasobiliary drainage to treat intractable pruritus in cholestatic liver disease.
INTRODUCTION Cholestasis related pruritus, secondary to intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic biliary obstruction is a common manifestation in chronic liver disease. Pruritus is difficult to treat, and results are often suboptimal. A stepwise medical approach is usually employed, followed by a trial molecular adsorbents recirculation system in medication resistant cases. Pruritus resulting in reduce...
متن کاملNeuromediators for cholestatic pruritus
Cholestatic pruritus is one of the most common complaints in patients with liver diseases and intraor posthepatic cholestasis. The mechanisms of cholestatic pruritus remain poorly understood although multiple factors are considered to participate in the pathogenesis of cholestatic pruritus. Recent exciting studies have discovered several G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and endogenous chemic...
