Towards Bloodless Potassium Measurement from ECG using Neuro-Fuzzy Systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Potassium disorders are generally asymptomatic, potentially lethal, and common in patients with renal or cardiac disease. The morphology of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is very sensitive to the changes in potassium ions, so ECG has a high potential for detecting dyskalemias before laboratory results.

Case Reports in Nephrology and Dialysis, 2022 Hypokalemia is a relatively common electrolyte disorder usually resulting from gastrointestinal wasting. Transient hyperkalemia in those treated for hypokalemia has been previously described to occur in 16% of hospitalized patients. The majority of those

Potassium wasting nephropathy in the setting of tizanidine overdose: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2021 Background Hypokalemia has been rarely attributed to tizanidine, although the precise mechanism is unclear. Severe hypokalemia is a well-established cause of abnormalities involving cardiac conduction. Given this agent’s well-known cardiac arrhythmogenic

Acyclovir induced hypokalemia [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Virology, 2013 Intravenous (IV) acyclovir, a mainstay antiviral for herpesviruses, may cause crystalluria and lead to acute kidney injury.1 Acyclovir has been associated with lower levels of potassium in canines but acyclovir induced hypokalemia has been reported only once in humans as part of a large adverse drug reaction monitoring program.2,3 A patient with a ...

The Pathophysiology and Treatment of Hypertension in Patients With Cushing's Syndrome [PDF]
, 2019 When hypertension, a pathology that is frequently found in the general population, presents in a young patient, secondary causes such as Cushing's syndrome (CS), a rare disease characterized by long-term elevated cortisol levels, should be considered ...

Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease, 2021 Rationale: Geller et al reported a rare mutation in the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) resulting in constitutive MR activity. Progesterone, normally an MR antagonist, acts as a potent agonist with this mutation. Progesterone levels can increase 100-fold

Rhabdomyolysis in an HIV cohort: epidemiology, causes and outcomes. [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundThe Literature on rhabdomyolysis in the HIV-positive population is sparse and limited. We aimed to explore the incidence, patient characteristics, etiologies and outcomes of rhabdomyolysis in a cohort of HIV-positive patients identified through
