  • Salt Craving

    We report on three boys, of Indian origin, with Dent's disease that presented at an early age (1-4 years), with polyuria, polydipsia, salt craving, recurrent vitamin A-responsive night blindness, hypophosphataemic rickets, hypercalciuria and low molecular [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    BACKGROUND: We sought to determine the cause of reduced scotopic and photopic electroretinograms (ERGs) and night blindness in a 46-year-old man with liver dysfunction but no history of alcoholism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Osteopenia

    He had a history of bowel surgery at birth, and he developed cystic fibrosis liver disease and osteopenia during his teenage years. He always had good lung function. When his serum vitamin A level was checked, it was undetectable in sample. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Acquired Causes Most of the acquired causes of night blindness (night blindness which is not present since birth and does not have a genetic basis), generally fall into the category of progressive night blindness. [web.archive.org]

    ERG might be more sensitive than serum vitamin A level and is recommended in case of night blindness but still normal vitamin A level. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis is good but depends on the stage of disease with 5- year survival rates as high as 99% in stage 1 disease. [orpha.net]

Prognosis Seminoma of the testis is associated with a good prognosis, with most tumours following an indolent course. In cases without evidence of lymphatic spread, 5 year survival approaches 100%. [healthengine.com.au]

However, the etiology of this unique form of unilateral night blindness remains obscure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathogenesis Etiology Inherited in the Appaloosa by, as yet, an unidentified pattern - thought to be either autosomal recessive, or sex-linked recessive, with the defect on the X chromosome. [vetstream.com]

Etiology Etiology is unknown but tumors are thought to arise from an embryonic germ cell leading to testicular intraepithelial neoplasia (the precursor to classical seminoma). [orpha.net]

Etiology and Pathophysiology It has long been accepted that the etiology of Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is likely either toxic or nutritional, as it is seen predominantly in malnourished alcoholics. [emedicine.medscape.com]
