The protein acts as a dam as it forms into tight aggregates when it enters the renal tubules. [11] In addition, the increased intracellular calcium has greater time to bind due to the blockage allowing for renal calculi to form. [12] As a result this causes urine output to decrease allowing for the uric acid to build up inside the organ.
In addition to the myoglobinuria, two other mechanisms contribute to kidney impairment: low blood pressure leads to constriction of the blood vessels and therefore a relative lack of blood flow to the kidney, and finally uric acid may form crystals in the tubules of the kidneys, causing obstruction.
Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) is a fluid-electrolyte disorder caused by a decrease in sodium levels (hyponatremia) during or up to 24 hours after prolonged physical activity. [1] This disorder can develop when marathon runners or endurance event athletes drink more fluid, usually water or sports drinks, than their kidneys can excrete ...
The specific causes of hyponatremia are generally divided into those with low tonicity (lower than normal concentration of solutes), without low tonicity, and falsely low sodiums. [12] Those with low tonicity are then grouped by whether the person has high fluid volume, normal fluid volume, or low fluid volume.
Plaque build-up often doesn’t cause symptoms, but it can block blood flow to vital organs like your heart. Coronary artery disease occurs when atherosclerosis affects the arteries supplying ...
The mechanism behind RVT is no different from other types of blood clots in other parts of the body. Rudolf Virchow, was the first to describe the physiological mechanism behind venous thrombosis (blood clots) using three related factors, known as Virchow's Triad; damage to the blood vessel (endothelial damage), decrease in blood flow (stasis) and increased coagulability of the blood ...
During the test, a healthcare provider will put a blood pressure cuff around your upper arm. The cuff is connected to a small machine. The cuff will inflate with air, and you’ll feel some ...
“Insufficient potassium intake can elevate blood pressure, deplete calcium in bones, and increase the risk of kidney stones.” As previously mentioned, a cup of coconut water delivers 500 mg of ...
