Generalized Edema
Plasmodium falciparum nephrosis edema PHIL 3894 lores

Workup
- A recent workup for cardiac, renal, and liver disease, including two-dimensional echocardiogram, liver and renal function tests, and abdominal ultrasound, was unremarkable. He reported a 15-pack year history of smoking and quit 3 years ago.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Further workup revealed the presence of advanced bronchiectatic changes in the lungs. Rectal biopsy showed the characteristic pattern of amyloid deposition. A diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis secondary to bronchiectasis was made.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
X-ray
Pericardial Effusion
- Pericardial effusions were excluded by serial echocardiograms. The sums of the amplitude of QRS complexes from the 12 ECG leads (Sigma QRS) were correlated with the corresponding WTs.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- […] failure (LV ejection fraction 55%) · Detects ventricular hypertrophy · Detects pericardial effusion Serum albumin · Reduced in hepatic disease and nephrotic syndrome · Unchanged in heart failure Liver function tests · Abnormal in cirrhosis (raised AST[tirthankaronline.blogspot.com]
- Pericardial effusion is the term for edema within the pericardial space between the outer layers of the heart. It is also known as a hydropericardium. Pulmonary edema is the term for edema within the lungs.[healthhype.com]
- Electrocardiogram features reminiscent of myocardial infarction were noted ( Figure 1 ), and an echocardiogram demonstrated marked left ventricular hypertrophy with minimal pericardial effusion. Fig. 1.[academic.oup.com]
Serum
Thrombocytosis
- The patient was moderately dehydrated and the blood investigations were remarkable for hyponatraemia (126 mEq/l), leukocytosis (19.4 10(3)/l (46% lymphocytes)), thrombocytosis (637 10(3)/l), hypoalbuminaemia (albumin 1.9 g/dl) and elevated C reactive[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nodular Glomerulosclerosis
- Percutaneous renal biopsy showed nodular glomerulosclerosis, mesangial matrix expansion, and thickening of glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Immunofluorescence study showed no glomerular deposition of immunoglobulin or complement.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- EDEMA/ ANASARCA/ ANGIOEDEMA Etiologies The accumulation of fluid in the intercellular space of subcutaneous tissue or in body cavities is referred to as edema. Anasarca refers to a diffuse generalized edema of multiple organ systems.[thebigl.co]
- Clues generated by the history, physical examination, and targeted evaluation help to identify the underlying etiology of peripheral edema.[online.epocrates.com]

Pathophysiology
- This case report underlines the pathophysiological role of tissue edema in the downward spiral of hepato-renal and cardio-renal dysfunction and illustrates that very large volumes of tissue fluid can be safely and effectively removed with continuous renal[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- However, this low risk modification of standard pulmonary artery catheterization provides additional information which is clinically useful in searching for and avoiding complications of cirrhosis, as well as offering a clearer understanding of pathophysiology[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- I'm thinking about the pathophysiology of the condition. The patient retains all this fluid because of underlying chemisty imbalances. Often low protein is at the heart of it.[allnurses.com]
- Pathophysiology In the presence of hypoalbuminemia as seen in nephrotic syndrome or other disease entities, anasarca occurs as a result of low osmotic pressure in the capillaries.[healthfixit.com]
Prevention
- The American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for prevention of iron deficiency anemia are reviewed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- We suggest the use of a suprapubic urinary catheter for preoperative drainage because of its ease of use in preventing fluid leakage from the possibly malignant tumor.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
