Diuretic therapy – loop diuretics and thiazides can both initially cause increase in chloride, but once stores are depleted, urine excretion will be below < 25 mEq/L. The loss of fluid from sodium excretion causes a contraction alkalosis. Diuretic abuse among athletes [4] and people with eating disorders [5] may present with metabolic alkalosis.
Diuresis (/ ˌ d aɪ j ʊ ˈ r iː s ɪ s /) is the excretion of urine, especially when excessive . The term collectively denotes the physiologic processes underpinning increased urine production by the kidneys during maintenance of fluid balance. [1] In healthy people, the drinking of extra water produces mild diuresis to maintain the body ...
A diuretic (/ ˌ d aɪ j ʊ ˈ r ɛ t ɪ k /) is any substance that promotes diuresis, the increased production of urine. This includes forced diuresis. A diuretic tablet is sometimes colloquially called a water tablet. There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from the body, through the kidneys ...
Spironolactone is used as add-on therapy to ACEI plus loop diuretic in severe CHF. Eplerenone is specifically indicated for post-MI reduction of cardiovascular risk. If a heart failure patient exhibits a resistance to or poor response to diuretic therapy, ultrafiltration or aquapheresis may be needed to achieve adequate control of fluid ...
exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis Exertional rhabdomyolysis ( ER ) is the breakdown of muscle from extreme physical exertion. It is one of many types of rhabdomyolysis that can occur, and because of this, the exact prevalence and incidence are unclear.
A confirmed diagnosis has seven elements: 1) a decreased effective serum osmolality – <275 mOsm/kg of water; 2) urinary sodium concentration high – over 40 mEq/L with adequate dietary salt intake; 3) no recent diuretic usage; 4) no signs of ECF volume depletion or excess; 5) no signs of decreased arterial blood volume – cirrhosis ...
Rhabdomyolysis (shortened as rhabdo) is a condition in which damaged skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly, often due to high intensity exercise over a short period. [6] [4] [5] Symptoms may include muscle pains, weakness, vomiting, and confusion.
The McKenzie method is a technique primarily used in physical therapy.It was developed in the late 1950s by New Zealand physiotherapist Robin McKenzie. [1] [2] [3] In 1981 he launched the concept which he called "Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT)" – a system encompassing assessment, diagnosis and treatment for the spine and extremities.
