Health | Poor prognostic indicators include a plasma lactate of greater than 4.0 mmol/L or a cardiac index of less than 2.2 L/min/m2 Whilst pulmonary edema and pleural effusions are common, multiorgan dysfunction syndrome is rarely seen. However, HPS patients sometimes have mildly impaired renal function. (references) | |
In another report from the University of California, Irvine, researchers describe depressions of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) after injections of aluminum lactate were given to laboratory rats (Guo-Ross et al., 1999). GFAP is a component of the protein structure or cytoskeleton of astrocytes that are found in the brain. (references) | ||
When metabolic acidosis, prolongation of PT and PPT times and rising serum lactate levels develop, the prognosis is poor. Marked renal insufficiency has mainly been noted among cases from the southeastern United States although some degree of renal insufficiency, assessed by elevated serum creatinine levels, has been noted in 15% of all patients.
