valproic acid and Libman-Sacks Disease

valproic acid has been researched along with Libman-Sacks Disease in 18 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

( Calvani, M; Guaitolini, C; Paolone, G; Parisi, G; Parisi, P, 2001)
" Following treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), the patient developed several rare complications: after beginning therapy with phenytoin, the patient developed pseudolymphoma; after monotherapy with carbamazepine (CBZ), the patient thereafter developed myoclonic jerks of upper and lower limbs upon awakening; after one year of treatment with valproate (VPA) the patient developed clinical and immuno-haematological signs of SLE."3.69Clinical case report: multiple idiosyncratic adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs in trisomy 9p. ( Diomedi, M; Gigli, GL; Masala, C; Placidi, F; Pomponi, MG; Scalise, A; Silvestri, G, 1996)
"Seizures were treated with valproate."1.31[Cerebral vasculitis as the initial manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus]. ( Bergner, R; Lowitzsch, K; Niedermaier, N; Wolf, J, 2001)
"We treated a 31-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus, renal failure with nephrotic syndrome, and a long-standing seizure disorder, who developed severe hyperammonemia with a fatal outcome."1.30Fatal hyperammonemia in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus. ( Amano, T; Ichikawa, H; Kawabata, K; Kushiro, M; Makino, H; Nagake, Y; Wada, J, 1998)
