Renal failure treatment

SBP has been associated with development of significant renal failure. Treatment with intravenous albumin can mitigate these effects when dosed at 1.5 g/kg of body weight initially, followed by 1 g/kg of body weight on day three of therapy.47...

Usual measures for decontamination (ipecac/lavage, activated charcoal, cathartics) are recommended within 2h of ingestion. Renal and hepatic function should be monitored and supported. If acidosis occurs, treatment should begin with 1 or 2 mEq kg (for children ImEqkg ) of sodium bicarbonate intravenously, repeated every 1 or 2 h as needed. Hemodialysis may be necessary for severe acid/base disturbances or renal failure. Treatment with ethanol has been effective in animals, but efficacy data for humans are not available.

Prolactin has no therapeutic uses. Hyperprolactinemia is a relatively common endocrine abnormality that most often is caused by prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas. Hyperprolactinemia also can result from hypothalamic or pituitary diseases that interfere with the delivery of inhibitory dopaminergic signals primary hypothyroidism associated with increased TRH levels renal failure treatment with dopamine receptor antagonists. Manifestations of prolactin excess in women include galactorrhea, amenorrhea, and infertihty. in men, hyperprolactinemia causes loss of libido, impotence, and infertility. 

Arsine gas Arsine gas (AsH ) is formed during the refinement and processing of certain metals and is used in the semiconductor industry it is an occupational hazard. Arsine causes a unique form of toxicity characterized by massive hemolysis. Pigment overload from red cell breakdown may cause renal failure. Treatment is supportive. 

The presenting symptoms of uremia are similar to many other encephalopathic states. The differential diagnosis is even more complex, since patients with renal failure are subjected to other intercurrent illnesses that may also induce other encephalopathic effects. In patients with renal failure, treatment with dialysis will restore more normal body fluid composition. Despite the possibility that multiple causes of encephalopathy might occur simultaneously, uremic encephalopathy may be successfully differentiated in most instances by means of the usual clinical methods.

HGH is well established for the treatment of short stature in children. It is being tested in a number of other applications including osteoporosis, renal failure, treatment of severe bums and wound healing. Intranasal delivery is being evaluated. Side effects are infrequent, although the safety of the product is not absolutely established. 

The vitamin D3 metabolite la,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol is a lifesaving drug in treatment of defective bone formation due to renal failure. Retrosynthetic analysis (E.G. Baggjolint, 1982) revealed the obvious precursors shown below, a (2-cyclohexylideneethyl)diphenylphosphine oxide (A) and an octahydro-4f/-inden-4-one (B), to be connected in a Wittig-Homer reaction (cf. section 1.5). 

Diuretics are one of the dmg categories most frequendy prescribed. The principal uses of diuretics are for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and mobilization of edema fluid in renal failure, fiver cirrhosis, and ascites. Other applications include the treatment of glaucoma and hypercalcemia, as well as the alkafinization of urine to prevent cystine and uric acid kidney stones.

In the treatment of hypertension, ACE inhibitors are as effective as diuretics, (3-adrenoceptor antagonists, or calcium channel blockers in lowering blood pressure. However, increased survival rates have only been demonstrated for diuretics and (3-adrenoceptor antagonists. ACE inhibitors are approved for monotherapy as well as for combinational regimes. ACE inhibitors are the dtugs of choice for the treatment of hypertension with renal diseases, particularly diabetic nephropathy, because they prevent the progression of renal failure and improve proteinuria more efficiently than the other diugs. 

Pentostatin is effective in the treatment of hairy cell leukemia, producing 80-90% remissions (with a complete remission rate of more than 50%). The common side effects of pentostatin include myelosuppression, nausea, and skin rashes. Renal failure,... 

In clinical trials, ATI antagonists have proven to be as effective as ACE inhibitors in hypertension, congestive heart failure, and renal failure [3]. The favorable side effect profile of ATI antagonists argues for a greater use of these diugs. At present, due to still higher costs, they are indicated in patients who do not tolerate ACE inhibitor treatment. 

Mannitol (Osmitrol) is used for the promotion of diuresis in the prevention and treatment of the oliguric phase of acute renal failure as well as for the reduction of IOP and the treatment of cerebral edema Urea (Ureaphil) is useful in reducing cerebral edema and in die reduction of IOE Glycerin (Osmoglyn) and isosorbide (Ismotic) are used in the treatment of acute glaucoma and to reduce IOP before and after eye surgery. 

Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs as a result of hyperplasia or the occurrence of adenoma. Secondary hyperparathyroidism may result from renal failure because of the associated phosphate retention, resistance to the metabolic actions of PTH, or impaired vitamin D metabolism. The last-mentioned factor is primarily responsible for the development of osteomalacia. Muscle symptoms are much more common in patients with osteomalacia than in primary hyperparathyroidism. Muscle biopsy has revealed disseminated atrophy, sometimes confined to type 2 fibers, but in other cases involving both fiber types. Clinical features of osteomalacic myopathy are proximal limb weakness and associated bone pain the condition responds well to treatment with vitamin D. 

Clofibrate causes a necrotizing myopathy, particularly in patients with renal failure, nephrotic syndrome or hypothyroidism. The myopathy is painful and myokymia of unknown origin is sometimes present. The mechanism of damage is not known, but p-chlorophenol is a major metabolite of clofibrate and p-chlorophe-nol is a particularly potent uncoupler of cellular oxidative phosphorylation and disrupts the fluidity of lipid membranes. Muscle damage is repaired rapidly on the cessation of treatment. 

Dantrolene should be repeated after 5—8 hr. Bicarbonate, procaine amide, and other drugs should be repeated as needed. Treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation is symptomatic. Early diagnosis and treatment ofMH is essential. After effective treatment, the patient should be watched closely in the intensive care unit for recurrence of MH, myoglobinuric renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, muscle weakness, and electrolyte imbalance.

The availability of a cDNA for erythropoietin has made it possible to produce substantial amounts of this hormone for analysis and for therapeutic purposes previously the isolation of erythropoietin from human urine yielded very small amounts of the protein. The major use of recombinant erythropoietin has been in the treatment of a small number of anemic states, such as that due to renal failure. 

There is growing evidence of a link between renal disease and HF.8 Renal insufficiency is present in one-third of HF patients and is associated with a worse prognosis. In hospitalized HF patients, the presence of renal insufficiency is associated with longer lengths of stay, increased in-hospital morbidity and mortality, and detrimental neurohormonal alterations. Conversely, renal dysfunction is a common complication of HF or results from its treatment. Renal failure is also a common cause for HF decompensation.

Renal dose dopamine is not recommended in the prevention or treatment of acute renal failure. 

It is critically important to recognize that the treatments of hyperkalemia discussed thus far are transient, temporizing measures. They are intended to provide time to institute definitive therapy aimed at removing excess potassium from the body. Agents that increase potassium excretion from the body include sodium polystyrene sulfonate, loop diuretics, and hemodialysis or hemofiltration (used only in patients with renal failure). Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate , various manufacturers) can be given orally, via NG tube, or as a rectal retention enema and is dosed at 15 to 60 grams in four divided doses per day.
