A patient with a known case of nephritic syndrome on angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. His food is usually rich with protein. What would you expect to see in the results of a lab investigation of the patient's blood? A. Increased serum triglyceride. B. Increased serum albumin. C. Decreased serum albumin. D. Decreased serum triglyceride. - Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by increased urinary excretion of albumin and other serum proteins, accompanied by hypoproteinemia and edema formation. - Nephrotic patients have lower serum albumin concentrations than do patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis when albumin and protein losses are the same in both groups, suggesting that nephrotic patients may not maximally adapt to the loss of protein. • The fractional rate of albumin catabolism is increased in nephrotic patients, possibly as a result of increased albumin catabolism by the kidney, but the absolute albumin catabolic rate is decreased in nephrotic patients. - The rate of albumin synthesis may be increased, but not sufficiently to maintain normal serum albumin concentration or albumin pools. - Augmentation of dietary protein in nephrotic rats directly stimulates albumin synthesis by increasing albumin mRNA content in the liver, but also causes an increase in glomerular permeability to macromolecules so that much, if not all, of the excess albumin synthesized is lost in the urine. - When dietary protein is restricted, the rate of albumin synthesis is not increased in either nephrotic patients or in rats, despite severe hypoalbuminemia. - Although dietary protein supplementation may lead to a positive nitrogen balance, dietary protein supplementation alone does not cause an increase in serum albumin concentration or body albumin pools and may instead cause further albumin pool depletion because of the changes induced in glomerular permselectivity. - The use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors may blunt the increased albuminuria caused by dietary protein supplementation and allow albumin stores to be increased. • In practice, the recommended protein intake is 0.8-1 gm/kg/day, with a preference for vegetable and fish pro 8 / 97 8.

Most patients with large ventricular septal defect have early, large, left to right shunting with the development of heart failure during infancy. - In rare cases, the pulmonary vascular resistance does not fall postnatally, left to right shunting is less marked and presentation with Eisenmenger syndrome occurs sometime during late childhood to early adulthood. - The right to left shunt causes cyanosis. - Chest x-ray in patients with uncomplicated small ventricular septal defect normally shows a normal cardiac shadow and pulmonary vascular markings. - With larger ventricular septal defect, the chest x-ray may show cardiomegaly with prominent left ventricular contour and left atrial and pulmonary artery enlargement due to volume overload directly related to the magnitude of the shunt. - The chest x-ray may also show evidence of shunt vascularity. - In Eisenmenger syndrome, chest x-ray usually shows dilatation of the central pulmonary arteries, peripheral pulmonary artery (pruning; abrupt attenuation and/or termination of peripheral pul artery branches) and neovascularity 11 / 97 11.
