Isolated adrenal mineralocorticoid deficiency due to amyloidosis associated with familial Mediterranean fever.

A patient with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) associated with renal amyloidosis, presented with hyperkalemia and acidosis which were excessive to his moderate degree of azotemia. The cause of this abnormality was isolated hypoaldosteronism with otherwise normal adrenal function and tubular capacity to transport potassium. This selective involvement of the zona glomerulosa stands in marked contrast to the usual sparing of the glomerulosa seen in post mortem studies of patients with FMF and amyloidosis reported from this country.

Reagent strip glucose monitoring methods in chronic hemodialysis.

Reagent strip blood glucose testing methods have not been extensively validated in dialysis patients, a serious omission as thousands of diabetic patients are now entering dialysis. Severe anemia and uremia are potentially confounding variables that might impair those testing methods. Various methods were tested pre- and postdialysis, and compared with standard laboratory results. In general, strip methods (SM) underestimated laboratory results by approximately 15%. Extremes of blood urea nitrogen, hematocrit, or blood glucose levels did not affect this reliability. Such methods appear to be suitable for use in chronic hemodialysis patients.
