▪ For example, thyroid and renal disease, alcohol abuse and chronic pancreatitis may be identified.
▪ It is also seen in some cases of renal disease especially where tubular necrosis or pyelonephritis exists.
▪ In massive dose, however, 4-ASA may cause haematuria and reduce creatinine clearance, particularly in patients with pre-existing renal disease.
▪ In most patients the hypocalcemia is the result of renal disease or vitamin D deficiency.
▪ The hypocalcemia resulting from renal disease is more complex.
▪ If hypercalcemia develops in mild renal failure, one must search for causes of hypercalcemia other than renal disease.
failure
▪ This is seen commonly in acute renal failure, and less commonly in chronic renal failure.

▪ These patients typically have mild renal insufficiency and diminished urate excretion due to renal tubular damage.
▪ Reported contraindications include renal insufficiency, chronic haemodialysis, some forms of iron overload, and previous oxalate stone formation.
▪ Patients with severe renal insufficiency, or those not responding promptly to the above measures, should receive dialysis.
▪ During therapy for magnesium depletion, the physician should frequently check the serum magnesium level, especially in patients with renal insufficiency.
unit

▪ Fresenius' renal unit manufactures dialysis equipment.
▪ Any renal unit serving a district with cardiac surgery facilities would have significantly more patients developing acute postoperative renal failure.
▪ The study also confirms that referral rates are lower in areas where there is no local renal unit nearby.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪ He had diabetes and renal failure.
▪ If renal function is adequate, diuresis should be instituted after volume replacement, to induce urinary calcium losses.
