The patient presented with: Dizziness Hot Flush Hypotension Toxicity To Various Agents Vomiting Nausea Dehydration Asthenia which developed after the beginning of treatment. The patient was hospitalized. [patientsville.com]
Present in vivo study was made to investigate the acute toxicity and diuretic activity of chloroform and ethanolic extract of leaves of Clerodendrum inerm. Male Albino Wistar rats (150-250 g) were taken for the study. [agris.fao.org]
The aim of the present study was to explore the diuretic activity of the aqueous extract of C. nitida seed (AECONS) and alteration caused by its subchronic administration on the structure and function of the kidney of male Wistar rats. [bioportfolio.com]
Case 3 An 87-year-old male patient presented in the emergency ward with a painful head injury. He reported having been greatly startled, which precipitated the fall from a sitting position. [omicsonline.org]
Entire Body System
- Virilization
Spironolactone has anti-androgenic effects, including incomplete virilization of the male fetus. Diuretics should be used cautiously in pregnancy. [www2.kidney.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Polydipsia
Early symptoms of hypercalcemia may include nausea, vomiting, and anorexia (appetite/weight loss), followed by polyuria (excess urination), polydipsia (excess thirst), weakness, fatigue, somnolence, headache, dry mouth, metallic taste, vertigo, tinnitus [vitamindwiki.com]
In addition, Li may affect water homeostasis by producing a primary polydipsia [ 23 ] and possibly by inhibiting CNS release of ADH [ 24 ]. [ckj.oxfordjournals.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Muscle Cramp
The most common side effects with HCTZ are dizziness, headache, fatigue, muscle cramps, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. This is not a complete list of the side effects associated with HCTZ. [everydayhealth.com]
cramps or pain unusual tiredness or weakness mental or mood changes Interactions Diuretics may interact with other medicines. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Adverse Effects: Muscle cramps, headache, constipation Nizatidine (Axid) GI; Peptic Ulcer H 2 -Blocker Adverse Effects: Minor. Greater than 90% urinary excretion, more than the other drugs. [kumc.edu]
Urogenital
- Polyuria
Of those, 30% have a subclinical concentrating defect, while the remaining 20% suffer from polyuria that can take place within the first 8–12 weeks of treatment. [ckj.oxfordjournals.org]
Early symptoms of hypercalcemia may include nausea, vomiting, and anorexia (appetite/weight loss), followed by polyuria (excess urination), polydipsia (excess thirst), weakness, fatigue, somnolence, headache, dry mouth, metallic taste, vertigo, tinnitus [vitamindwiki.com]
Workup
EEG
- Electroencephalogram Abnormal
Soon after starting Diuretics treatment, the consumer experienced several side effects, including: Neurotoxicity Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Coma Supraventricular Tachycardia Dehydration Pneumonia Aspiration Electroencephalogram Abnormal Toxicity [patientsville.com]
Serum
- Hyponatremia
Toxicity: hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hyponatremia; hyperGlycemia, hyperLipidemia, hyperUricemia & hyperCalcemia (hyperGLUC). Sulfa allergy. [quizlet.com]
hypermagnesemia, hyponatremia Hyperkalemia, hyperuricemia, hypoglycemia, hypomagnesemia, hyponatremia 3. [lecturio.com]
In one study, for example, hyponatremia occurred in 17% of patients.2 The risk of hyponatremia appears to be particularly common in elderly female patients.1 Hyponatremia can lead to confusion, delirium, and irreversible brain damage that may contribute [todaysgeriatricmedicine.com]
Laboratory findings revealed hyponatremia ( Table 1 ) and elevated renal retention parameters pointed to acute renal failure. On the geriatric ward, she was found to be alert and responsive and spatially as well as temporally well-oriented. [omicsonline.org]
So with hyponatremia, more Li is reabsorbed causing higher Li levels and lithium toxicity. This goes for anything that causes lower na levels. [forums.studentdoctor.net]
- Alkaline Phosphatase Increased
Diabetes Mellitus, Blood Alkaline Phosphatase Increased, Toxicity To Various Agents, Nephropathy Toxic, Complications Of Transplanted Kidney This Toxicity To Various Agents side effect was reported by a health professional from JAPAN. [patientsville.com]
Treatment
A bipolar patient receiving lithium therapy developed a toxic state with a serum lithium level of 3.9 within 2 weeks of beginning hydrochlorothiazide treatment for hypertension. [indiana.pure.elsevier.com]
During acute treatment, FM 100 mg kg -1 dose significantly increased the levels of AST, creatinine and urea, while CSA treatment caused increase only in AST and creatinine levels. FM treatment induced clastogenic effect p [medwelljournals.com]
This side effect report can indicate a possible existence of increased vulnerability to Diuretics treatment in patients suffering from NA, resulting in Toxicity To Various Agents. [patientsville.com]
Initiating loop diuretics or ACE inhibitors significantly increased the risk of lithium toxicity: within one month of starting treatment. [ebmh.bmj.com]
Cola nitida is a plant, conventionally used in Africa in the treatment of various ailments such as migraine, morning sickness and indigestion. [bioportfolio.com]

Epidemiology
Thiazide-induced hypercalcemia can have advantages as recent epidemiological studies have shown a preservation of bone mineral density in the hip and the spine as well as a decrease in the risk of hip fracture in patients on chronic thiazide treatment [lecturio.com]

Ethanol Toxicity It is given to displace the substrates and prevent their metabolism, in methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning. Prevent methanol from going to formic acid, and prevent ethylene glycol from going to oxalic acid. [kumc.edu]
It helps prevent the body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. [everydayhealth.com]
