Norovirus gastroenteritis accompanied by marked elevation of transaminases.
A 56-year-old woman was admitted because of frequent watery diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. An examination of the stool for norovirus antigen was positive, and a blood examination revealed a marked elevation of liver enzymes. Liver dysfunction, as well as symptoms related to gastroenteritis, was ameliorated solely by supportive treatment. Although liver injury concurrent with noroviru...
متن کاملMarked elevation of liver transaminases after high-dose fluvastatin unmasks chronic hepatitis C: safety and re-challenge.
The statins, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, have emerged as the drugs of choice for patients with dyslipidemia and have been shown to reduce major cardiovascular adverse events in large-scale clinical trials for both primary and secondary prevention. Statins are generally safe; however, the results of clinical trials do demonstrate possibilities of signifi...
متن کاملPlasma lipoprotein lipase after subcutaneous heparin.
IN ADDITION to its anticoagulant action, heparin initiates the release of lipoprotein lipase into the blood. This lipolytic enzyme has the capacity to reduce the turbidity of lipemic plasma and hence has become known also as "clearing factor." Its clearing action occurs from the hydrolysis of triglyceride contained in chylomicrons and other lipoprotein particles.' Studies in animals have sugges...
متن کاملDepletion of lipoprotein lipase after heparin administration.
Some or most of the turnover of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) occurs by dissociation from vascular endothelial sites in extrahepatic tissues and further degradation in the liver. Heparin greatly enhances this dissociation and delays but does not abolish uptake in the liver, raising the possibility that heparin could lead to accelerated catabolism of functional LPL. To investigate this, we determined...
متن کاملMarked troponin elevation after implantation of a permanent antibradycardia pacemaker.
INTRODUCTION Transvenous insertion of endocardial leads for permanent pacing is often accompanied by minor myocardial damage, detected thanks to the high sensitivity of cardiac troponins. It is unknown whether higher troponin levels, commensurate with more severe myocardial damage, can be encountered after implantation procedures. METHODS Over a 3-year period, 283 patients underwent an implan...
