[Reversible renal failure in female patients with acute interstitial nephritis caused by cloxacillin].
Cloxacillin was not listed as one of the drugs causing the acute interstitial nephritis, yet. A case of a 50-year female patient treated with cloxacillin is presented. Therapy was followed by nausea, vomiting, myalgia and arthralgia, and the symptoms of the acute renal failure which completely diminished after prednisone therapy despite of co-existing peptic ulcer. Low doses of corticosteroids seem helpful in the treatment of the acute interstitial nephritis following therapy with cloxacillin even after a long time of the onset.

[Mannitol for the prevention of decompensation symptoms in hydrated patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis].
Symptoms of decompensation syndrome were frequently noted during sequential ultrafiltration/hemodialysis. In 9 adult patients chronically dialysed 101 cases of overhydration were seen. Mannitol was administered in a 20% solution (250 ml) in a continuous intravenous infusion during 49 dialyses. Changes in body weight were measured, arterial blood pressure, pulse rate, hematocrit, total plasma protein levels, urea, creatinine, sodium and potassium were determined as well as plasma osmolality. Mannitol significantly decreased muscular contractions during dialysis, weakness after dialysis, and incidence of various symptoms of decompensation. The values of analysed clinical parameters and laboratory tests did not differ from those determined without mannitol. Plasma creatinine, total plasma protein levels and hematocrit were significantly lower after several hours after the end of ultrafiltration/hemodialysis. We suggest that mannitol decreases the incidence of the symptoms of decompensation syndrome and is safe. Beneficial effect of mannitol is most probably produced by the changes in body fluids distribution.
