Possible Case of Ofloxacin Induced Thrombocytopenia and Hypokalemia: A Case Report
Abstract: Although Fluoroquinolones are known to cause thrombocytopenia, Ofloxacin induced thrombocytopenia cases are reported rarely. As per our knowledge no case has been reported in Indian population and this will be the first report. A seventy-five-year-old female patient admitted for fever and abdominal pain and received ofloxacin, following which there was thrombocytopenia and hypokalemia, and normal levels were returned with ofloxacin discontinuation. It is a reporting of a possible case of …

Determining the Root Causes of Complications in Hemodialysis
Abstract: As with peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation, hemodialysis has been considered one of the most effective therapies for the replacement of kidney function. While this helps to save patients with the disease by decreasing morbidity /mortality/ rates, this medication has some side effects. These may manifest during the dialysis process alongside the ongoing treatment. Avoiding these barriers becomes crucial for improving the patients’ prognosis in this context.We are going to …

The Function of Diuretics in Current Medical Practice and Prospective Advancements
Abstract: Diuretics have a rich history that spans several centuries, and this review aims to highlight their progression and clinical uses. We start by exploring kidney physiology, followed by a description of how diuretics function through symporters in the renal tubules. Different categories of diuretics are outlined, along with details of their specific actions. Next, we investigate the clinical use of diuretics in conditions, such as congestive heart failure and hypertension, …

Impact of Amiloride-Hydrochlorthiazide Diuretic Against the Pathway of Uric Acid – VLDL and Peroxynitrite in Essential Hypertension
Abstract: Thiazides induce metabolic derangement in terms of hyperlipidemia, glucose intolerance, hyperuricemia and electrolytes imbalance. Co-amiloride-hydrochlorthiazide therapy favorably corrects the hypokalemia that is induced by thiazides alone. This study was aimed to identify the interactions between serum uric acid, very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL) and peroxynitrite in essential hypertensive patients using amiloride-hydrochlorthiazide as antihypertensive therapy. A total number of fifty patients (12 males and 38 females) with a history of hypertension were admitted in …
