Metabolic alkalosis and myoclonus.
This is the first case reported of vomiting-induced metabolic alkalosis associated with myoclonus. The report describes an unusual presentation of myoclonus secondary to acid-base disturbance caused by recreational drug-induced vomiting. The severe derangement of hyponatraemia, hypokalaemia, and alkalosis appears to have been reasonably well tolerated due to the gradual onset and relatively lon...
متن کاملMetabolic alkalosis and cystic fibrosis.
Important and otherwise excellent articles by Weber1,2 and Schrier and Abraham3 strongly characterize persistent reninangiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation in congestive heart failure, a hypervolemic state, as “inappropriate” based on their view that the primary role of the RAAS is to prevent salt deprivation or intravascular volume contraction (hypovolemia). Actually, as the authors...
متن کاملApproach to metabolic alkalosis.
Metabolic alkalosis is a common disorder, accounting for half of all acid-base disturbances in hospitalized patients. It is the result of an increase in bicarbonate production, a decrease in bicarbonate excretion, or a loss of hydrogen ions. Most causes of metabolic alkalosis can be divided into 4 categories: chloride depletion alkalosis, mineralocorticoid excess syndromes, apparent mineralocor...
متن کاملMannitol-induced Metabolic Alkalosis
Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic agent useful in a variety of clinical conditions. This study is based on acid-base and electrolyte changes seen after the intravenous infusion of hypertonic mannitol for the prevention of cerebral edema. The study subjects were divided into 3 groups: for group A, an amount of 300-900 mL 15% mannitol was intravenously infused over the period of 60 to 90 minutes; f...
متن کاملMetabolic alkalosis in coliform mastitis.
Values of blood gas, serum chloride, and potassium were tabulated for 21 dairy cows with coliform mastitis. Severe cases showed marked clinical signs such as loss of appetite and depression of digestive tract motility, and metabolic alkalosis such as an increase in blood pH, hypochloremia and hypokalemia compared with normal and mild cases (p < 0.01). The results showed that metabolic alkalosis...
