Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Causing Pseudo-acidosis: A Case Report

Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Causing High Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis in a Patient With Severe Insulin Resistance.

Rapid Revival of a Patient after very Severe Metabolic Acidosis: A Case Report

Background: Metabolic acidosis is a fatal finding in trauma patients that complicates the process of resuscitation. Case: The case was a 37-year-old man with open fracture in both legs and fracture in second lumbar vertebral (L2). The serial arterial blood gas (ABG) test results showed a pH value of 6.7 indicating a very severe and special case of metabolic acidosis. The rate of mortality f...

[Severe hypertriglyceridemia in diabetic ketoacidosis: case report].

OBJECTIVES Diabetic ketoacidosis is a recurrent problem in the emergency room that requires prompt and effective treatment. Usually, it may be associated with an increase in triglyceride levels, exposing the patient to the risk of pancreatitis. METHODS We report the case of a 38-year-old female patient with diabetic ketoacidosis and severe hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides: 11.758 mg/dL). ...

Everolimus causing severe hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis.

Everolimus is an mTOR inhibitor commonly used to treat metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) and renal cell carcinoma, and for posttransplant immunosuppression. This report presents a case of a 36-year-old man being treated with everolimus for a metastatic pNET who developed severe hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis. The incidence of hypertriglyceridemia reported in large...

Topiramate and severe metabolic acidosis: case report.

Topiramate infrequently induces anion gap metabolic acidosis through carbonic anhydrase inhibition on the distal tubule of the nephron--a type 2 renal tubular acidosis. We report on a 40 years old woman previously healthy that developed significant asymptomatic metabolic acidosis during topiramate therapy at a dosage of 100 mg/day for three months. Stopping medication was followed by normalizat...
