Case reports published on gastroenterology, hepatology topics
Reports on iatrogenic hyperkalemia in a patient with gastroparesis, hepatosplenic abscesses in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia, superior mesenteric artery dissection in a patient with celiacomesenteric trunk anomaly, and more were published in the past month.
Five case reports on gastroenterology and hepatology topics were published in the past month by Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases.
Three case reports published Oct. 18 described iatrogenic hyperkalemia induced by hypermagnesemia from administration of laxatives in an 82-year-old patient with gastroparesis, multiple hepatosplenic abscesses from an uncommon pathogen in a 59-year-old patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia, and spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection in a 65-year-old patient with celiacomesenteric trunk anomaly.
The other two case reports, published Oct. 4, described metastatic lobular carcinoma of the breast masquerading as gallstone disease in a 60-year-old patient and alanine aminotransferase deficiency in a 40-year-old patient with hyperferritinemia, fatty liver disease, and hepatosplenomegaly.
