  • Salt Craving

    We report on three boys, of Indian origin, with Dent's disease that presented at an early age (1-4 years), with polyuria, polydipsia, salt craving, recurrent vitamin A-responsive night blindness, hypophosphataemic rickets, hypercalciuria and low molecular [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    BACKGROUND: We sought to determine the cause of reduced scotopic and photopic electroretinograms (ERGs) and night blindness in a 46-year-old man with liver dysfunction but no history of alcoholism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Osteopenia

    He had a history of bowel surgery at birth, and he developed cystic fibrosis liver disease and osteopenia during his teenage years. He always had good lung function. When his serum vitamin A level was checked, it was undetectable in sample. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Night Blindness

    Acquired Causes Most of the acquired causes of night blindness (night blindness which is not present since birth and does not have a genetic basis), generally fall into the category of progressive night blindness. [web.archive.org]

    The seasonal pattern for night blindness roughly parallels that for scurvy and for diarrheal diseases. The peak season for night blindness incidence was summer, and the next highest season was spring. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis is good but depends on the stage of disease with 5- year survival rates as high as 99% in stage 1 disease. [orpha.net]

Prognosis Seminoma of the testis is associated with a good prognosis, with most tumours following an indolent course. In cases without evidence of lymphatic spread, 5 year survival approaches 100%. [healthengine.com.au]

However, the etiology of this unique form of unilateral night blindness remains obscure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathogenesis Etiology Inherited in the Appaloosa by, as yet, an unidentified pattern - thought to be either autosomal recessive, or sex-linked recessive, with the defect on the X chromosome. [vetstream.com]

Etiology Etiology is unknown but tumors are thought to arise from an embryonic germ cell leading to testicular intraepithelial neoplasia (the precursor to classical seminoma). [orpha.net]

Etiology and Pathophysiology It has long been accepted that the etiology of Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is likely either toxic or nutritional, as it is seen predominantly in malnourished alcoholics. [emedicine.medscape.com]
