Management of Acute Hypertensive Emergencies on CKD (original) (raw)

Furosemide and acute renal failure

Postgraduate medical journal, 1978

High dose of intravenous furosemide (2 g/24 hr) was given to six patients with acute renal failure due to leptospirosis. The results, based on urine flow, changes in serum creatinine and creatinine clearance, were compared with a control group of eight patients with the same disease and comparable degree of renal failure. Excellent diuresis was observed following furosemide therapy but renal function and the clinical course of the disease were unaltered. The duration of renal failure was the same in both groups.

Management and Treatment of Hypertensive Emergencies

Hypertensive emergency" is a life threathing condition that caused by acute increase of blood pressure usually ≥180/120 mmHg leading end-organ damage. In the Emergency Department appropriate management of "Hypertensive Emergencies" is crucial for preventing death or irreversible disability. ÖZET "Hipertansif Acil Durum" ani ve hızlı şekilde tansiyonun genelde ≥180/120 mmHg seviyesine yükselmesi yüzünden end-organ hasarı oluşmasıdır. Acil serviste "Hipertansif Acillerin" düzgün yönetimi ölüm ve kalıcı sakatlığı önlemek için çok önemlidir.

Hypertensive Emergencies and Urgencies

2018

Hypertension is a major traditional risk factor for cardiovascular disease such as coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease and is also associated with major target organ damage such as kidney and retina. It is one of the leading causes of death related to cardiovascular cause.[1] Incidence and prevalence of hypertension vary according to age, sex, race, and geographic area, and it is increased with age. Most patients with markedly increased blood pressure (BP) (systolic pressure ≥180 and/or diastolic pressure ≥120 mmHg) are usually asymptomatic, but if increased BP associated with acute target organ damage, it is a life-threatening condition and needs urgent intervention. These hypertensive emergencies though uncommon if not treated in a timely fashion can be life threatening and therefore need a thorough evaluation with appropriate treatment. Hypertensive emergencies can be seen in patients with or without pre-existing hypertension. According to the 2017 American Colleg...

Review Clinical review: The management of hypertensive crises

2003

Hypertension is an extremely common clinical problem, affecting approximately 50 million people in the USA and approximately 1 billion individuals worldwide. Approximately 1% of these patients will develop acute elevations in blood pressure at some point in their lifetime. A number of terms have been applied to severe hypertension, including hypertensive crises, emergencies, and urgencies. By definition, acute elevations in blood pressure that are associated with end-organ damage are called hypertensive crises. Immediate reduction in blood pressure is required only in patients with acute endorgan damage. This article reviews current concepts, and common misconceptions and pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of patients with acutely elevated blood pressure.
