Oral poisoning can trigger diverse physiological reactions, determined by the toxic substance involved. One such consequence is hyperchloremia, characterized by an elevated level of chloride in the blood and leads to kidney damage and impairing chloride ion regulation. Here, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide analysis to investigate genes or proteins linked to hyperchloremia. Our analysis included functional enrichment, protein-protein interactions, gene expression, exploration of molecular pathways, and the identification of potential shared genetic factors contributing to the development of hyperchloremia...

This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted aspects of chloride, ranging from its significance in cellular homeostasis to the consequences of dysregulation in critically ill patients. The pathophysiology of hyperchloremia and hypochloremia is dissected, highlighting their intricate impact on acid-base balance, renal function, and cardiovascular stability. Clinical assessment strategies, including laboratory measurements and integration with other electrolytes, lay the foundation for targeted interventions...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the short-term effects on acid base, electrolyte status and urine output of a single fluid bolus of saline to that of the balanced solution Plasmalyte® in critically ill patients. METHODS: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Adult patients (≥ 18 years) admitted to the ICU receiving a fluid bolus were randomized to receive 1 L of saline (NaCl 0.9%, Baxter) or a balanced fluid [Plasmalyte® (Baxter)]. Blood samples and urine output were collected just before (T0), just after (T1), 2 h after (T2) (only for urinary output) and three hours after termination of the fluid bolus (T4)...

Hyperchloremia and hypernatremia are associated with higher mortality in ischemic stroke, but it remains unclear whether their influence directly contributes to ischemic injury. We investigated the impact of 0.9% sodium chloride (154 mM NaCl), 0.9% sodium acetate (167 mM CH3 COONa), and their different combinations (3:1, 2:1, and 1:1) on microglial (HMC-3) and neuronal (differentiated SH-SY5Y) survival during oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R). Further, we assessed the effect of hyperchloremia and hypernatremia-treated and OGD/R-induced HMC-3-conditioned media on differentiated SH-SY5Y cells under OGD/R conditions...

We report a rare case of a young adult female patient presenting with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. She was hypertensive during the presentation. Blood work showed mild anemia, hyperkalemia, hyperchloremia, and metabolic acidosis, with normal renal function and liver function. Plasma renin activity and aldosterone levels were low-normal...

BACKGROUND: Slaine solution (NSS) and Ringer's acetate solution (RAS) are commonly given to critical ill patients as a fundamental fluid therapy. However, the effect of RAS and NSS on sepsis patient outcomes remains unknown. METHODS: We conducted a single-center prospective open-label parallel controlled trial to enroll adult patients (>18 years old) diagnosed with sepsis. Participants received either RAS or NSS for intravenous infusion for 5 days. The primary outcome was the incidence of Major adverse kidney events within 28 days (MAKE28)...

PURPOSE: The aims of this study were (1) to determine the associations of cardioplegic solutions with postoperative main strong ion difference (mSID), which is the difference between sodium ion concentration and chloride ion concentration ([Cl- ]) and (2) to determine the associations of cardioplegic solutions with markers of organ dysfunction. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, patients aged <5 years who underwent cardiac surgery in a tertiary teaching hospital were included...

PURPOSE: We conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis to compare the effects of balanced crystalloids (BC) and isotonic saline (IS) in pediatric sepsis. METHODS: A systematic search was performed for studies comparing BC and IS in pediatric sepsis. Outcomes included mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), need for renal replacement therapy (RRT), hospital length of stay (LOS), and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) LOS. A random-effect models was used to calculated pooled odds ratios (OR) and mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs)...

OBJECTIVE: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI)-induced cerebral infarction is a major cause of adverse neurological outcomes following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between postoperative serum electrolyte levels and DCI in patients with aSAH. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed the data of patients with aSAH between 2015 and 2022. The patients were classified into two groups according to whether they experienced DCI...

Intravenous (i.v.) fluid therapy is critically important in pediatric kidney transplantation. Because of the high volumes given perioperatively, transplant recipients can develop significant electrolyte abnormalities depending on the types of fluids used. Current practices in pediatric transplantation aim to balance risks of hyponatremia from traditionally used hypotonic fluids, such as 0.45% sodium chloride, against hyperchloremia and acidosis associated with isotonic 0.9% sodium chloride. Using the balanced solution Plasma-Lyte 148 as an alternative might mitigate these risks...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the administration of 2% dorzolamide ophthalmic solution in dogs undergoing ophthalmic surgery is associated with perianesthetic metabolic acidosis. ANIMALS: 60 dogs, with or without dorzolamide administration, underwent arterial blood gas analysis immediately after anesthesia for ophthalmic surgery between 2019 and 2022; a total of 60 surgeries were evaluated. METHODS: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study...

We aimed to investigate clinical and laboratory characteristics of acute alcohol intoxication (AAI) in adolescents who presented to the pediatric emergency department (ED) at a tertiary referral center from 2006 to 2019. All consecutive adolescents with AAI (n = 335) and their sex- and age-matched control subjects (n = 335) with undetectable ethanol levels were included in this case-matched study. Mean serum ethanol level was 156.4 ± 58.4 (range: 50.8-341.2) mg/dL in the acute alcohol intoxication (AAI) group...

Maintenance intravenous fluids are the most frequently ordered medications for hospitalized children. Since the American Association of Pediatrics published national guidelines, there has been an increased reflexive use of isotonic solutions, especially 0.9% saline, as a prophylaxis against hyponatremia. In this educational review, we discuss the potential deleterious effects of using 0.9% saline, including the development of hyperchloremia, metabolic acidosis, acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia, and a proinflammatory state...
