  • Anesthetic Considerations of Conn Syndrome: A Case Presentation and Mini-Review the Anesthesiologist and Conn Syndrome
    Clinical Medicine Research, 2014
    Co-Authors: Arber Jano, Rudin Domi, Leart Berdica, Hektor Sula, Ilir Ohri
    Abstract:

    Conn syndrome is characterized by increased secretion of aldosterone. Hyperaldosteronism induces sodium and water retention, hypertension, decreased Potassium Blood Level, muscle weakness, and fatigue. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by decreased renin Level, increased aldosteron Level, hypokalemia, and imagining tools. Perioperative care consists on Blood pressure and hypervolemia control, spironolactone administration, and preoperative Potassium correction. We present a case scheduled for left adrenalectomy for Conn syndrome, 5 years after the right adrenalectomy was performed. The surgery and postoperative period were uneventful and the patient was discharged in 6-th postoperative day referring to the endocrinologist. A good cooperation between the anesthesiologist, endocrinologist, and surgeon is strongly recommended.

  • Reversible hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia during alcohol withdrawal syndrome
    Der Nervenarzt, 1994
    Co-Authors: Carl G, Holzbach E
    Abstract:

    The alcohol-withdrawal syndrome was examined in 76 persons suffering from chronic alcohol dependency. Twenty persons showed only slight withdrawal symptoms. Thirty-two showed pronounced predelirium. Twenty-four patients developed delirium tremens. Commencing on the day on which alcohol was last consumed, Potassium and magnesium Levels in the Blood serum were measured for 8 days until the 7th day after withdrawal from alcohol. The more pronounced the alcohol withdrawal syndrome, the sharper the decline in the Level of Potassium and magnesium in the Blood serum. In each case, the decline in the magnesium serum Level preceded that of the Potassium serum Level by one day. On the basis of the clinically and experimentally observed repercussions of the magnesium Level (delirium symptoms, including grand mal), the magnesium Blood Level decline is attributed greater significance than that of the Potassium Blood Level decline. The repercussions on magnesium and Potassium Blood Levels resulting from the accompanying catecholamine release and of hyperventilation during delirium are discussed.
