Circulatory changes in acute glomerulonephritis.

چکیده
Conflicting opinions have been expressed as to the mechanism of pulmonary and peripheral congestion frequently observed in the oliguric stage of acute glomerulonephritis. Hemodynamic studies in 7 patients studied during the oliguric edematous phase of the disease demonstrated that these patients have high ventricular filling pressures associated with an increase in cardiac output and are, therefore, examples of a high output congestive state.

Circulatory changes in acute glomerulonephritis at rest and during exercise.
In order to evaluate the effects of acute glomerulonephritis on the circulation, 6 patients were investigated at rest and during moderate exercise. With the patients in a state of rest the cardiac index and the stroke volume index were significantly higher in acute glomerulonephritis than normal, despite significantly raised right and left atrial pressures. Oxygen consumption was significantly ...
متن کاملHemodynamic studies in chronic uremia.
SUMMARY Hemodynamic functions and blood volume were observed in patients with chronic uremia. Thirty-one patients had clinical features of circulatory congestion and 37 did not. The degree of anemia and acidosis was comparable in both groups. However, cre-atinine clearance was significantly lower in patients with circulatory congestion. Both groups of patients had greater blood pressure, heart ...

BACKGROUND Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a neurotoxic condition that occurs as a result of the failure of posterior circulatory autoregulation in response to acute changes in blood pressure. Overperfusion with resultant disruption of the blood-brain barrier results in vasogenic edema, but not infarction. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome can be the presenting featur...

Renal changes in snake bite include tubular necrosis, cortical necrosis, interstitial nephritis, arteritis, and thrombophlebitis.'-3 Glomerular changes are usually mild,' and severe glomerulonephritis is uncommon.4 We report the case of a patient bitten by a Russell's viper who presented with acute renal failure. A renal biopsy specimen showed extracapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis in ...
متن کاملThe Experimental Induction of Glomerulonephritis like That in Man by Infection with Group a Streptococci
106 rabbits received one or more courses of inoculations, spaced 1-4 months apart, with Group A streptococci, usually of strains isolated from patients with acute glomerulonephritis. 8 days to a few weeks after onset of a given infection with streptococci known to have been nephritogenic for man, marked proteinuria, often with hematuria and occasionally with azotemia, was detected in 22 of the ...
