phentolamine and Hyperkalemia

phentolamine has been researched along with Hyperkalemia in 5 studies

Phentolamine: A nonselective alpha-adrenergic antagonist. It is used in the treatment of hypertension and hypertensive emergencies, pheochromocytoma, vasospasm of RAYNAUD DISEASE and frostbite, clonidine withdrawal syndrome, impotence, and peripheral vascular disease.
phentolamine : A substituted aniline that is 3-aminophenol in which the hydrogens of the amino group are replaced by 4-methylphenyl and 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ylmethyl groups respectively. An alpha-adrenergic antagonist, it is used for the treatment of hypertension.

Hyperkalemia: Abnormally high potassium concentration in the blood, most often due to defective renal excretion. It is characterized clinically by electrocardiographic abnormalities (elevated T waves and depressed P waves, and eventually by atrial asystole). In severe cases, weakness and flaccid paralysis may occur. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Acute respiratory alkalosis (hyperventilation) occurs in clinical settings associated with electrolyte-induced complications such as cardiac arrhythmias (such as myocardial infarction, sepsis, hypoxemia, cocaine abuse)."2.68Plasma potassium response to acute respiratory alkalosis. ( Caduff, P; Hulter, HN; Krapf, R; Stäubli, M; Wagdi, P, 1995)
" In potassium loaded, ureter-ligated dogs, heparin increases transmembrane potassium transfer as effectively as does a dosage of atropine large enough to cross the blood-brain barrier and its influence on potassium transfer, like that of atropine, is suppressed by beta-adrenoreceptor blockade."1.28Heparin mediates transmembrane potassium transfer in hyperkalemic dogs. ( Hiatt, JR; Hiatt, N, 1990)
