Hypokalaemia and hypertension early after kidney transplantation.
A 48-year-old Caucasian male underwent a cadaveric renal transplantation in November 2000 after 15 months of haemodialysis. He was treated by nifedipine (30 mg o.d.) and nisoldipine (20 mg o.d.) for arterial hypertension evidenced more than 20 years before. No laboratory investigation was performed until May 1999, when he was admitted for chest pain. Blood pressure was 185u95 mmHg and serum cre...
متن کاملMineralocorticoid hypertension and hypokalaemia induced by posaconazole
We describe severe hypokalaemia and hypertension due to a mineralocorticoid effect in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome taking posaconazole as antifungal prophylaxis. Two distinct mechanisms due to posaconazole are identified: inhibition of 11β hydroxylase leading to the accumulation of the mineralocorticoid hormone 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) and secondly, inhibition of 11β hydroxystero...
متن کاملA collapse with hypertension and hypokalaemia.
A 60 year old white man was admitted from the emergency department after an unwitnessed collapse and generalised weakness and malaise. He had no medical history of note and was taking no drugs. On clinical assessment he had hypertension, which had not previously been documented, with a blood pressure of 187/91 mm Hg. Blood tests showed severe hypokalaemia (2.1 mmol/L (reference range 3.6-5.0), ...
متن کاملPotassium chloride
Major uses Potassium chloride (KCl) is inorganic salt used for making fertilizers, since the growth of many plants is limited by their potassium intake. Potassium in plants is important for the osmotic and ionic regulation, plays a key role in the water homeostasis and is closely connected with processes involved in the protein synthesis. KCl is also used for the manufacture of potassium hydrox...
متن کاملSodium, Potassium, and Chloride Fluxes
In isolated bundles of external intercostal muscle from normal goats and goats with hereditary myotonia the following were determined: concentrations and unidirectional fluxes of Na+, K+, and C-, extracellular volume, water content, fiber geometry, and core-conductor constants. No significant difference between the two groups of preparations was found with respect to distribution of fiber size,...
