Acute pre-renal failure: acquired chloride diarrhea after bowel resection
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 58-year old male with a history of small bowel resection and ileostomy presented with severe dehydration and high ostomy output. Laboratory investigation indicated hypochloremia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, metabolic alkalosis, chloride-rich diarrhea, acute renal failure, and low urinary chloride excretion. Due to striking similarities to congenital chloridorrhea (CCD) reported in neonates, we empirically diagnosed acquired chloridorrhea (ACD, chloride diarrhea). This is a rare disorder resulting in profuse chloride-rich diarrhea and classic metabolic derangements affecting adults with chronic intestinal inflammation, often in association with bowel surgery. In this report, we review the relevant literature and discuss the genetic defects likely contributing to both the congenital and acquired forms of chloridorrhea.

Morbidity and mortality after bowel resection for acute mesenteric ischemia.
BACKGROUND Patients presenting with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) sufficiently advanced to require bowel resection have a high morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to analyze these patients to determine if certain pre- or intraoperative variables are predictive of death or complications which could then be used to develop a predictive model to aid in surgical decision-maki...

Microscopic polyangiitis is an uncommon systemic vasculitis of varying severity that is associated with myeloperoxidase (MPO) and perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic (p-ANCA) antibodies. The most commonly affected organs are the lungs and kidneys. We report on a very unusual case of microscopic polyangiitis presenting with severe mesenteric ischemia in addition to diffuse alveolar hemorrhage...

INTRODUCTION Large villous adenomas or adenocarcinomas of the rectum can determine secretory diarrhea, associated with a depleting syndrome of prerenal acute renal failure, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and hypoproteinemia, with favorable prognosis if early detected and properly treated. The syndrome is rare, with approximately 50 cases reported in the literature. AIM Acute renal failure, caused...
