Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We found spontaneous echoes in two teenagers with nephrotic syndrome and profound hypoalbuminemia, both having normal cardiac structure, function and output. The phenomenon disappeared after the level of albumin normalized. In one patient, all spontaneous echoes disappeared following convalescence, the level of albumin in the serum then being documented at normal levels. The second patient, who presented with profound hypoalbuminemia, was infused with human albumin because of oliguria, following which the spontaneous echoes disappeared. |
