Carbon dioxide renal function

Key findings that have been reported include significant hypoxia, acidosis, and carbon dioxide retention (Sofer et al., 1989). Also, hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, and leukocytosis were observed in a case series of OP exposures (Levy-Khademi et al., 2007). A study done on 17 children with typical OP or carbamate poisoning looked at laboratory abnormalities that are associated with acute pancreatitis. Five of the patients (30%) had laboratory values consistent with pancreatitis with elevated immunoreac-tive trypsin, amylase, and serum glucose. None of the patients had hypocalcemia, renal dysfunction, or acidosis, and all experienced complete recovery of pancreatic function. The authors concluded that acute pancreatihs, due to anticholinesterase (anti-AChE) intoxication, is not xmcommon in the pediatric population (Weizman and Sofer, 1992). Pancreatitis has been described in adult exposures, and the association has been investigated in animal studies (Weizman and Sofer, 1992). 

As with iron, zinc is an essential nutrient for normal growth and reproduction, and promotes wound healing and tissue repair. Zinc is a key component of many vital enzymes involved in most metabolic pathways. It is part of the enzyme retinene-reductase required for the proper functioning of vitamin A, and therefore indirectly affects vision. Zinc is also part of carbonic anhydrase, which is responsible for the transfer of carbon dioxide, especially in hanoglobin and renal tubules, and of car-boxypeptidase, key in protein metabolism. It also forms a complex with insulin, increasing the activity of this hormone, and helps to increase the activity of thymidine...
