[Comparative biochemical study of serum and residual peritoneal fluid in periodic peritoneal maintenance dialysis (author's transl)].

The increasing use of peritoneal maintenance dialysis in end renal insufficiency calls for a better understanding of its advantages, and a comparative study of residual fluid as a partial substitute for serum may be helpful in this respect. A comparative biochemical study was carried out with 53 samples taking simultaneously from 16 patients in peritoneal dialysis. Statistical results showed linear correlation coefficient to be higher than 0.64 in BUN, phosphorus, creatinine, uric acid, calcium and potassium, which allows a statistically certain conclusion to be drawn to the serum levels of residual peritoneal fluid. The results of glucose, chloride, bilirubin, osmolality, LDH, bicarbonate, albumin, cholesterol, sodium, globulines and alkaline phosphatase studies, gave an insufficient linear correlation coefficient, which makes it impossible to offer the necessary guarantees for the use of residual fluid.

Renal artery thrombosis occurring in an adult with the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome: results of local treatment with streptokinase.

A 55 year old male with the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (minimal glomerular lesions by light microscopy and negative immunofluorescent stainings) presented righ renal artery thrombosis as evidenced by clinical and arteriographic findings. Local Streptokinase infusion by means of a renal artery catheter resulted in revascularization of the arterial tree, although recovery of renal function was only partial.

[Mechanism of electric alternance in pericardial effusion. Study with ultrasonics].

Two cases are presented, one with chronic renal failure and the other with a hepatic cyst perforated in the pericardium, with a tension pericardic leakage accompanied with by electrocardiographic alternance. After correct treatment, pericardiocentesis and surgery, respectively, the electrocardiogram lost its electric alternance. The echocardiogram evaluates the importance of the pericardic liquid volume which causes, because of the particular cardiac anatomy, an alternating movement of the heart within the pericardic sac. This factor would be decisive in the origen of the electric phenomenon, a fact corroborated when the electric alternance disappears after pericardiocentesis or surgery.
