There are countless situations where the relative acidity or alkalinity of a substance or system is of critical importance. Agricultural conditions, water quality, food preservation, lung and kidney function—all are circumstances in which quantitative measures of acidity or basicity enable proper maintenance and regulation of vital processes. The term pH is widely used as an expression of acid/base content, but what is the origin of such nomenclature ...

After decontamination by emesis or lavage, patients should be carefully monitored for alterations in liver and kidney function, and treated symptomatically if necesseray. Seizures can be treated with anti-convulsant drugs. Because the toxin produces a deficiency of y-amino-butyric acid (GABA), specific treatment with pyridoxine (vitamin Bg) has been recommended.

Qiapter 8 indicates that oxidant air pollutants may adversely affect the olfactory and sight senses, degree of activity, general health and vigor, reproductive rate, heart and kidney function, protein synthesis, respiratory function, and disease resistance in domestic vertebrates under laboratory conditions. Many of these adverse physical responses develop at or near the concentrations of ozone currently experienced daily in ambient air in parts of the San Bernardino Mountains.

Monitoring Perform periodic blood counts and liver and kidney function tests. Discontinue use if blood dyscrasias or signs of hepatic or renal disorders occur. Frequently measure arterial blood pressure during IV use. 

Monitoring Periodically determine liver and kidney function especially during the first few months of therapy. Perform BUN, serum creatinine, or Ccr and reassess the patient s dosage.

Although asparaginase therapy has proved effective, a number of side-effects have been associated with initiation of therapy. These have included severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, as well as compromised liver and kidney function. Side-effects are probably due to a transient asparaginase deficiency in various tissues. Under normal circumstances, dietary-derived plasma asparagine levels are sufficient to meet normal tissue demands, and the cellular... 

Carbamazepine overdose first leads to neuromuscular disturbances, such as nystagmus, myoclonus, and hyperreflexia, with later progression to seizures and coma. Cardiac conduction changes are possible. Nausea, vomiting, and urinary retention also may occur. Treatment should include induction of vomiting, gastric lavage, and supportive care. After a serious overdose, blood pressure and respiratory and kidney function should be monitored for several days. 

Because of its toxicity, plicamycin (mithramycin) is not the drug of first choice for the treatment of hypercalcemia. However, when other forms of therapy fail, 25-50 mcg/kg given intravenously usually lowers serum calcium substantially within 24-48 hours. This effect can last several days. This dose can be repeated as necessary. The most dangerous toxic effect is sudden thrombocytopenia followed by hemorrhage. Hepatic and renal toxicity can also occur. Hypocalcemia, nausea, and vomiting may limit therapy. Use of this drug must be accompanied by careful monitoring of platelet counts, liver and kidney function, and serum calcium levels.

The action of downward-draining herbs can move the bowels, thus eliminating toxins from the body when Liver and Kidney functions are impaired and they fail to remove toxic substances, such as in cirrhosis of the Liver and renal failure. If a toxic substance has been ingested, the action of downward-draining herbs can assist the body in eliminating it. 

As a part of a long-term carcinogenicity study (Maltoni et al., 1980), haematological parameters and clinical chemistry parameters reflecting liver and kidney function were studied after three, six, 12 or 18 months inhalation exposure to 5,10,50 or 150-250 ppm [20, 40, 200 or 600-1000 mg/m ] 1,2-dichloroethane (Spreafico et al., 1980). No consistent treatment-related effect was observed. 

No evidence of liver or kidney dysfunction was found in 73 male workers employed for an average of 8.2 years (range, 0.5-23 years) in a plant in the Netherlands producing allyl chloride, 1,3-dichloropropene, epichlorohydrin and hexachlorocyclopentadiene. Mean allyl chloride concentrations ranged from 0.21 to 2.89 mg/mL the values for hexachlorocyclopentadiene ranged from 0.01 to 0.23 mg/mL Exposures to 1,3-dichloropropene and epichlorohydrin were well below the current maximmn allowable concentrations. The results of the liver and kidney function tests were compared with those of 35 men in the same plant who were not occupationally exposed to these chemicals (Boogaard et al., 1993).
