Electrolytes are essential for mineral and bone metabolism. However, their associations with fracture risk among older adults have not been extensively studied. To examine the of serum sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus levels fracture. Prospective cohort study. US community. 5,499 from Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study who completed visit 5 2011-2013. The analysis was replicated 11,708 middle-aged 2 1990-1992. Serum phosphorus.

Hypomagnesemia, a side effect of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), can be asymptomatic. The presence hypocalcemia or hypokalemia is indicative hypomagnesemia; however, the concomitant use PPIs and thiazide may mask hypocalcemia. A 79-year-old woman with history chronic heart failure kidney disease developed symptomatic hypomagnesemia. Five weeks earlier, she had thiazide-induced hyponatremia, so been discontinued. Reviewing patient's charts revealed that three discontinued administrations in...
A 77-year-old man with a history of hypertension, prostate hyperplasia, and urolithiasis was admitted for acute kidney injury caused by hypercalcemia. Neck ultrasonography showed large cyst adjacent to the right lower thyroid lobe. Although 99mtechnetium sestamibi scan negative, an extremely high intracystic intact parathyroid hormone level suggested that had origin functional present. Immunohistochemical staining calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) after parathyroidectomy revealed CaSR-positive...
Unintentional renal artery occlusion after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic remains one of the most unfavorable complications. Renal salvage options include percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTRA) and open hepatosplenorenal bypass. However, usefulness kidney autotransplantation (AutoTx) unclear. A 76-year-old woman with a right solitary attributable to left thromboembolism had previously undergone EVAR stent graft an infrarenal aneurysm, which led ostial artery....
High daily pill burden affects quality of life and mortality. interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) is associated with increased We examined the association between IDWG in hemodialysis patients. This cross-sectional study was conducted six dialysis centers Japan June 2017. The exposure number tablets, outcome defined as 1 day relative divided by post-dialysis from previous session. Among 188 outpatients (mean age, 68.7 [SD, 10.3] years; men, 67.0%; median vintage, 76.0 [interquartile range,...
Introduction: Heart transplantation (HT) with donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors has been increasing exponentially since its resurgence in the US. The aim of this study was to evaluate national outcomes DCD HT. Methods: Adult HT recipients from 2019-2023 were identified United Network Organ Sharing registry. Patients categorized based on donor-type (donation brain [DBD] or DCD). Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression analyses used for survival. A propensity-matched analysis...
