Clinical use of cimetidine in acute renal failure after resection of abdominal aneurysms

Abstract

Gastrointestinal bleeding and infection are leading causes of mortality in patients with acute renal failure. Cimetidine, an H2 blocker, has been reported to be useful in the treatment of duodenal ulceration in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Sequential organ failure is common in patients who have had resection of dissecting abdominal aneurysms. Because acute renal failure is included in the definition of sequential organ failure, we attempted to determine whether cimetidine could significantly reduce gastrointestinal bleeding in our series of patients who had acute renal failure after resection of dissecting abdominal aneurysms.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
