چکیده
Serum and urinary electrolytes were estimated in 33 patients with hepatitis and 35 with cirrhosis. Forty two percent patients with hepatitis and 46% with cirrhosis bad hyponatraemia while 30% with hepatitis and 37% with cirrhosis had low serum potassium levels. Low urinary sodium was found in 27.3% cases of hepatitis and 40% cirrhotics and low urinary potassium in 21.2% and 45.7% cases of hepatitis and cirrhosis respectively. Hypokalaemia and low urinary sodium appear to be bad progaostic findings in cirrhosis (JPMA 33: 289, 1983).

متن کاملA preliminary study of the association between the ABCA1 gene promoter DNA methylation and coronary artery disease risk
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common health problem in Iranian population. ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays central role in the efflux of the cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to liver. Inactivation of ABCA1 by epigenetic change such as DNA methylation may contribute to the development of CAD. The present study investigated the association between promoter DNA methy...
متن کاملEffects of treadmill training combined with Vitamin C or estradiol on Nitric Oxide metabolite, oxidative stress marker and liver enzymes levels in rat
Introduction: The production of Reaction Oxygen Species (ROS), lowers cellular antioxidant levels, and enhances oxidative stress in many tissues, especially the liver. Efficient liver function is extremely important to the overall health. The key to helping prevent long-term damage is to decrease oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of treadmill training with vi...

Objective(s): End-stage hepatic failure is a potentially life-threatening condition for which orthotopic liver transplantation is the only effective treatment. However, a shortage of available donor organs for transplantation each year results in the death of many patients waiting for liver transplantation. Xenotransplantation, or the transplantation of cells, tissues, or organs between differe...
