Studies in the Area of Medical Science Reported from Mayo Clinic

2013 JAN 18 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health & Medicine Week -- Current study results on Medical Science have been published. According to news reporting from Rochester, Minnesota, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Anion gap metabolic acidosis (AGMA) is commonly encountered in medical practice. Acetaminophen-induced AGMA is, however, not widely recognized."

The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Mayo Clinic, "We report 2 cases of high anion gap metabolic acidosis secondary to 5-oxoproline accumulation resulting from acetaminophen consumption: the first case caused by acute one-time ingestion of large quantities of acetaminophen and the second case caused by chronic repeated ingestion in a patient with chronic liver disease. Recognition of this entity facilitated timely diagnosis and effective treatment."

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Given acetaminophen is commonly used over the counter medication, increased recognition of this adverse effect is of important clinical significance."
