    Definition: Acute renal failure (ARI) during hepatocellular insufficiency (HIC) has many etiologies (functional renal failure [FRI], tubulopathy and hepatorenal syndrome [SHR]). The vast majority of ARI etiologies in the cirrhotic patient are represented by acute tubular necrosis. The SHR ARI is characterized by a deterioration of renal function without histological alteration; the collapse of the glomerular filtration rate…

    It is about the global and progressive loss of the intellectual functions acquired previously, without disturbances of the vigilance. CLINIC: It is necessary to know how to evoke the diagnosis in two circumstances: – Memory disorders noticed by the patient, but more often by the entourage. – Behavioral disorders. The memory disorder   is often the first…

    Introduction: The nephrotic syndrome is defined by a set of biological signs secondary to proteinuria sufficiently abundant to cause disturbances in plasma. It combines proteinuria classically greater than 50 mg / kg / 24 h and albumin less than 30 g / L.In fact, when the plasma albumin level is very low, the concentration of urinary…

    Introduction: The polyuropolydipsic syndrome is defined by a urinary flow rate greater than 3 l / d (or 2 ml / min) defining polyuria, associated with a parallel increase in oral fluid intake defining polydipsia. The volume of drinks and urine can reach up to 20 l / d and impede the patient in his daily…

    Introduction: Nephrotic syndrome (SN) is defined as proteinuria greater than 3 g / d with hypoalbuminemia below 30 g / l. For many authors, SN is better defined by an abundant proteinuria greater than 3 g / d, without mentioning threshold values ​​of albuminemia and protidemia which are arbitrary, all the more so as the complications…

    Dr. Taoufik

    Introduction: The nephrotic syndrome with minimal glomerular lesions (SN-LGM) is characterized clinically by a nephrotic syndrome pure and histologically by minimal ultrastructural abnormalities consisting of an eradication of the pedicels. This is the most common cause of SN in children. Most forms are corticosensitive, but relapses are possible. Significant progress has been made in recent years in…

    Electrophysiological mechanism of elevation ST: The heterogeneity of repolarization of the action potential between the epicardium and the endocardium explains both the ECG aspect and the rhythm disorders. Unlike endocardial cells, which have a classical morphological action potential, epicardial cells have an aspect called “tip and dome” or “notch”. The principal but not the only cause…

    Physiopathology: This frequent pathological entity is totally underestimated and presents, from a physiopathological point of view, a common denominator – notwithstanding its topography – which is the increase in intratissular pressure. This intratissular hyperpressure will result from an inadequacy between the rigidity of the aponeurosis of overlapping and the increase of the muscular volume to…
