Perimolysis is a dental condition linked to chronic regurgitation. When perimolysis is found in the patient who denies vomiting, one must suspect anorexia nervosa, a disorder with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The dental literature has not provided guidelines for confirming the suspicion of surreptitious vomiting Surreptitious habitual vomiting simulating Bartter's syndrome. Ramos E, Hall-Craggs M, Demers LM. A patient with hypokalemic alkalosis, normotensive hyperreninism, hyperaldosteronism, increased levels of urinary and plasma prostaglandin E, and vascular hyporesponsivity to angiotensin II was thought to have Bartter's syndrome Results of a kidney biopsy showed hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular apparatus but no renomedullary cell hyperplasia. A 24-hour urine collection showed a low chloride level and no increase in the fractional chloride clearance, thus excluding Bartter's syndrome. Subsequent disclosure of surreptitious, habitual vomiting explained the hypokalemia Urinary chloride measurement is a simple and common procedure but its value in clinical practice is not extensive. This case report highlights a practical and important use of this test. A patient presented with most of the clinical and metabolic derangements of Bartter's syndrome but was found to h (i)Surreptitious vomiting is an important cause of hypochloraemic metabolic alkalosis and hypokalaemia due to gastric loss of potassium and protons. (ii)In this setting, urine chloride is usually low while urinary potassium excretion may even be elevated due to hypovolaemia and hyperaldosteronism
Underlying causes of metabolic alkalosis may be evident from history, evaluation of effective circulatory volume, and measurement of urine chloride concentration. However, identification of causes may be difficult for certain conditions associated with clandestine behaviors, such as surreptitious vomiting, use of drugs or herbal supplements with mineralocorticoid activity, abuse of laxatives. Vomiting or chronic abuse of laxatives can result in gastrointestinal bleeding. Persistent vomiting can also cause the problem of spontaneous regurgitation, or reflux. Frequent purging causes the lower esophagus to relax, making it easy for the contents of the stomach to rise up into the throat or even into the mouth Surreptitious vomiting and diuretic use are again in the differential and they can be ruled out by history, urine chloride, and a urine assay for diuretics. As mentioned previously, distinguishing Bartter's Syndrome patients from Gitelman's Syndrome patients is difficult and there may be little clinical utility in doing so Surreptitious diuretic or laxative use or both is a frequent cause of persistent hypokalemia, particularly among patients preoccupied with weight loss and among health care practitioners with access to prescription drugs. Other drugs that can cause hypokalemia includ
Surreptitious vomiting, diuretic or laxative abuse for purpose of dieting are known to cause a primary loss of: water, sodium, potassium, hydrogen and secondary loss of mainly potassium and hydrogen through renal aldosterone-regulated adaptive mechamisms Surreptitious vomiting can often be identified through a careful history or, more objectively, by the presence of a low urine chloride concentration (≤ 20 mEq/L). Diuretic abuse may present a distinct challenge not be suspected. If fed to children with loss of sodium and chloride through excessive sweating (because of cystic fibrosis or for any other reason),the electrolytepicturewould be different. There would be contrac¬ tion of the extracellular fluid volume because ofthe loss salt,but unless additional chloride were given, re¬ plenishment could not occur. Th A 32-year-old man was diagnosed as having pseudo-Bartter syndrome due to surreptitious habitual vomiting and to maldigestion related to decayed teeth. His chief complaints were muscle pain and weakness. In this case, metabolic alkalosis, hypokalemia, hypochloremia, increased plasma renin activity and aldosterone levels were noticed with marked.

Self-induced vomiting is a common feature of the eating disorders anorexia nervosa and bulimia
Anorexia nervosa is characterized by caloric restriction and pathologic behaviors to achieve weight loss, such as excessive exercising, dieting, or purging (e.g. abuse of laxatives or diuretics, surreptitious vomiting). Patients with bulimia nervosa engage in purging behaviors and binge eating. Consequently, patients with anorexia nervosa tend to present with a low body mass index, while those. surreptitious - Translation to Spanish, pronunciation, and forum discussions.

The condition is usually found in children. Patients who present with hypokalaemic alkalosis of uncertain cause are often suspected of having this condition but other causes which may be denied by the patient should be considered eg surreptitious vomiting and/or use of diuretics for weight loss or psychological problems - Surreptitious vomiting - Diarrhoea - Genetics (Gitelman's syndrome: mutations in the sodium/chloride transporter in the distal nephron). What are the causes of hyperkalaemia? - Response to potassium sparing diuretics - ACE inhibitors - Elderly - Severe diabetes - Kidney disease Diarrhea. Stool is 60 to 90% water. In Western society, stool amount is 100 to 200 g/day in healthy adults and 10 g/kg/day in infants, depending on the amount of unabsorbable dietary material (mainly carbohydrates). Diarrhea is defined as stool weight > 200 g/day. However, many people consider any increased stool fluidity to be diarrhea of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, surreptitious vomiting, or diuretic abuse in the presence of metabolic alkalosis. In patient with a urine K/C ratio of 1.5 or higher, consider 2 categories based upon the presence or absence of hypertension: In the absence of hypertension, coexistent metabolic alkalosis i

A female patient, 29 years old, is presented. She exhibited an abnormal personality leading to anorexia nervosa, diarrhoea of the ulcerative colitis type, surreptitious vomiting, severe hypokalemia and secondary hyperaldosteronism As with anorexia nervosa, there are many medical complications associated with bulimia nervosa. In bulimia nervosa, these complications are a direct result of both the mode and the frequency of purging behaviours. For the purposes of this article, we will review in detail the many complications of the two major modes of purging, namely, self-induced vomiting and laxative abuse; these two.

Most often due to surreptitious vomiting, diuretic use, or Bartter syndrome. In this setting, measurement of the urine chloride (rather than urine potassium) concentration is often helpful. Urine chloride is low (<15 mEq/L) in vomiting due to the need to maintain electroneutrality while some of the excess bicarbonate is being excreted Causes can be: * Mallory-Weiss syndrome: bleeding tears in the esophagal mucosa, usually caused by prolonged and vigorous retching. * Irritation or erosion of the lining of the esophagus or stomach * Vomiting of ingested blood after hemorrhage in. Loperamide Addiction and Abuse. Loperamide is an antidiarrheal agent commonly used to treat acute and chronic diarrhea.

Surreptitious diuretic use is an important cause of metabolic alkalosis. Varying and parallel levels of UNa + and Ucl- (both are high on some occasions and low on other occasions) raise the possibility of diuretic abuse. Urine diuretic screening is confirmatory. Bartter and Gitelman syndromes require genetic testing to ascertain the diagnosis Diuretic abuse and surreptitious vomiting are important conditions to consider in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with hypokalemia. The risk of transmitting the disease genetically to offspring is 25%.

Upon its release, The Exorcist became such an indelible cultural phenomenon that evangelists felt the need to give sermons on the very nature of evil, hinting that an ancient demonic force lived within the film's fabric. However, this only served to fuel its allure, as audiences waited hours prior to its screening, despite reports of frequent fainting or vomiting incidents concentrations are high in the presence of metabolic alkalosis, a profile similar to that of Bantus syndrome, which is a rare defect of primaiy renal tubular sodium chloride reabsorption. In this setting, a urine screen for diuretics may be neces ， sary to make the diagoosis. In comparison, patients with surreptitious vomiting have a low urinary chloride con centration 7 days at room temperature (15-25C) and 4C. For long-term storage, samples can be stored at -20C. Urine chloride concentration can be used to distinguish surreptitious diuretic abuse and vomiting from Bartter's syndrome. In all these cases there is hypokalaemia, metabolic alkalosis, hyperrenina.. Surreptitious laxative use may mimic several organic diarrhea syndromes, including inflammatory bowel disease and secretory diarrhea. Seventeen cases of surreptitious laxative use were uncovered within five years at the Cleveland Clinic. Characteristic features included diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and weight loss. Findings on physical examination were nonspecific, and. Surreptitious vomiting or laxative abuse can often be distinguished by low levels of urinary Cl (usually < 20 mmol/L). Surreptitious diuretic abuse can often be distinguished by low levels of urinary Cl and by a urine assay for diuretics. Definitive diagnosis is through genetic testing, which is rarely done because of factors such as the large.

Ipecac is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth and used for a short time. It can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach irritation, dizziness, low blood pressure, shortness of breath, and a fast heartbeat. Ipecac is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when allowed to touch the skin or when inhaled. Ipecac contains emetine, with can irritate the skin and respiratory tract Nausea, vomiting, severe stomach pain, loss of appetite, and mental confusion were the results. A report in 1972 indicated that as many as a quarter of the patients died of radiation poisoning. Dr • Surreptitious vomiting or laxative abuse may be difficult to identify but should be excluded. • The family history is important, because there can be rare cases of hereditary potassium disorders INTRODUCTION. Metabolic alkalosis is a relatively common disorder that is most often generated by diuretic therapy or the loss of gastric secretions due to vomiting (which may be surreptitious) or gastric suction. Metabolic alkalosis may also result from severe hypokalemia, alkali ingestion when kidney function is markedly diminished, primary. Pseudo Bartter syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by metabolic alkalosis, hypokalaemia, hyperaldosteronism, hyperreninism, normal blood pressure and hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular.
Metabolic alkalosis with urinary potassium wasting might be due to surreptitious vomiting.
