The Association Among Post-hemodialysis Blood Pressure, Nocturnal Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Risk Factors
CONCLUSION: Hemodialysis patients exhibited a marked increase in post-dialysis BP and lacked a nocturnal BP dip, suggesting augmented cardiovascular risks. This highlights the importance of more stringent BP control after hemodialysis.PMID:38152598 | PMC:PMC10751209 | DOI:10.5049/EBP.2023.21.2.53 (Source: Electrolyte and Blood Pressure)

Pseudo-Gitelman Syndrome Presenting with Hypokalemic Metabolic Alkalosis and Hypocalciuria
Electrolyte Blood Press. 2023 Dec;21(2):72-76. doi: 10.5049/EBP.2023.21.2.72. Epub 2023 Dec 18.ABSTRACTPseudo-Bartter syndrome is a well-known differential diagnosis that needs to be excluded in cases of normotensive hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. Pseudo-Bartter syndrome and pseudo-Gitelman syndrome are often collectively referred to as pseudo-Bartter/Gitelman syndrome; however, pseudo-Gitelman syndrome should be considered as a separate entity because Gitelman syndrome is characterized by hypocalciuria and hypomagnesemia, while Bartter syndrome is usually associated with hypercalciuria. Herein, we report the cases of tw...

Fatal Hypermagnesemia in Patients Taking Magnesium Hydroxide

Epub 2023 Dec 18.ABSTRACTHypermagnesemia is a rare but potentially fatal electrolyte disorder often overlooked because of its unfamiliarity. Magnesium is regulated through a balance of bone, intestinal absorption, and renal excretion. Hypermagnesemia typically arises from excessive magnesium intake or reduced renal excretion; however, it also occurs in patients with normal kidney function. Herein, we report two cases of hypermagnesemia in patients taking magnesium hydroxide for constipation. The first case involved an 82-year-old woman with end-s...

Epub 2023 Jun 27.ABSTRACTMetabolic alkalosis is a common acid-base imbalance frequently observed in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and is associated with increased mortality. Post-hypercarbia alkalosis (PHA) is a type of metabolic alkalosis caused by sustained high serum bicarbonate levels following a rapid resolution of hypoventilation in patients with chronic hypercapnia due to prolonged respiratory disturbance. Common causes of chronic hypercapnia include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), central nervous system disorders, neuro...

Understanding and Treatment Strategies of Hypertension and Hyperkalemia in Chronic Kidney Disease
Electrolyte Blood Press. 2023 Jun;21(1):24-33. doi: 10.5049/EBP.2023.21.1.24. Epub 2023 Jun 27.ABSTRACTHypertension and potassium imbalance are commonly observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The development of hypertension would be related to several mechanisms. Hypertension is related to body mass index, dietary salt intake, and volume overload and is treated with antihypertensives. In CKD patients, managing hypertension can provide important effects that can slow the progression of CKD or reduce complications associated with reduced glomerular filtration rate. The prevalence of hyperkalemia and hypokalemia i...
