End-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with eating disorders. 1997

We report on the development of end-stage renal disease in four young women with long duration of eating disorders. No other reason for end-stage renal disease could be identified in these patients. Long standing hypokalemia was noted in all. Renal ultrasonography in three patients showed small kidneys with increased cortical echogenicity and multiple small bilateral cysts. A renal biopsy in one showed chronic tubulo-interstitial disease and non-specific glomerulosclerosis consistent with hypokalemic nephropathy. The development of end-stage renal disease is yet another medical complication to be considered in patients with long-standing eating disorder. Chronic hypokalemia may play a role in the pathogenesis of renal disease in this setting.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007008	Hypokalemia	Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders.

D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D007676	Kidney Failure, Chronic	The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
