Valproate Induced Reduction in Fibrinogen Levels: A Systemic Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Valproic acid (VPA) is one of the most frequently used antiepileptic drugs for the treatment of focal and generalized epilepsies. VPA has been demonstrated to have a negative effect on both the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation systems. This article focusses on VPA induced fibrinogen reduction and hypofibrinogenemia. We systemically analyzed the fibrinogen reduction after VPA treatment and the ratio of hypofibrinogenemia incidence. The result WMD (weighted Mean Difference) of fibrinogen reduction was 54.61, 95% CI (70.2, 39.02), P<0.00001. The OR (Odds Ratio) of hypofibrinogenemia was 6.38%, 95% CI (2.04, 20.01), P=0.001.

Effects of Lycopene and Sodium Valproate on Pentylenetetrazol-Induced Kindling in Mice
Sodium valproate and tomato extract have been studied in different experimental models of epilepsy individually. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of lycopene on the antiepileptic effects of sodium valproate against pentylenetetrazol-induced kindling in mice. Swiss albino mice of either sex were randomly divided into 5 groups, with each group containing 8 mice. These group...

Background: Fibrinogen and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are two cardiovascular risk factors that increase risk of atherosclerosis through inflammation and coagulation mechanisms. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of mentioned factors between athlete and non-athlete disabled veterans. Materials and methods: subjects of this study were 16 male, non-chemical warfare victim, disabled veter...
متن کاملErtapenem-induced reduction in valproate levels: case report and review of the literature.
The concomitant use of carbapenems and valproate is not recommended because carbapenems may decrease serum concentrations of valproate. Increasing the dose of valproate may not compensate for the reduction, which puts the patient at risk for recurrent seizures. Therefore, close monitoring of valproate levels is necessary when initiating a carbapenem antibiotic in patients whose condition has be...

Background and objective: The development of cardiovascular diseases and mortality caused this study to evaluate the effect of 6 weeks of supplemental diet and aerobic exercise on plasma levels of CRP and fibrinogen in overweight men. Method: 32 non-athletic overweight men from Qom University with a mean age of 31 ± 1.38 years, and body mass index 31.19 ± 4.18 kg / m2, were randomly assigned to...
متن کاملAcute coagulopathy of trauma: hypoperfusion induces systemic anticoagulation and hyperfibrinolysis.
BACKGROUND Coagulopathy is present at admission in 25% of trauma patients, is associated with shock and a 5-fold increase in mortality. The coagulopathy has recently been associated with systemic activation of the protein C pathway. This study was designed to characterize the thrombotic, coagulant and fibrinolytic derangements of trauma-induced shock. METHODS This was a prospective cohort stu...
