Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction01:24

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction

705
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...

Drugs for Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis in IBD01:29

Drugs for Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis in IBD

547
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition primarily affecting the colon and rectum. The primary drugs used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis are aminosalicylates. They exhibit anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. They modulate inflammatory mediators and inhibit the activity of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). Aminosalicylates also reduce inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin and leukotriene production and decreasing neutrophil chemotaxis and superoxide...

Antiasthma Drugs: Leukotriene Modifiers

1.9K
Leukotriene modifiers, or cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonists, are medications used to manage chronic asthma. These agents target specific inflammatory mediators produced during arachidonic acid metabolism, an essential process in generating inflammation in the body.
Leukotriene modifiers work through two distinct mechanisms:

Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids

1.6K
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are anti-inflammatory drugs used primarily in treating persistent asthma and providing long-term maintenance. They target the bronchial mucosa, the lining of the airways, to control inflammation, a critical factor in asthma progression and exacerbation.
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Dermatology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Sulphasalazine is a medication used to treat inflammatory conditions.
  • Adverse drug reactions can manifest in various organ systems.

Observation:

  • A 21-year-old male developed eosinophilic pneumonia and a concurrent skin rash.
  • These symptoms emerged during treatment with sulphasalazine.

Findings:

  • Complete resolution of pulmonary infiltrates and skin rash was observed after sulphasalazine discontinuation.
  • Corticosteroid therapy facilitated the recovery process.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering sulphasalazine-induced lung disease in patients presenting with respiratory and dermatological symptoms.
  • Early recognition and drug withdrawal are crucial for managing adverse effects.
