Evaluation of Electrolyte Imbalance and Blood Gas Parameters in Patients Who Had Rotavirus Gastroenteritis
Öz
Aim: In the present study, the cases admitted to the hospital because of acute gastroenteritis and diagnosed with common RVGE were evaluated in terms of demographic, epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data.
Methods: The clinical and laboratory data of the cases who applied to Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine, Pediatric Emergency Clinic because of acute gastroenteritis aged 0-18 were evaluated retrospectively in the study. Clinical findings, time of admission, place of observation, blood gas and electrolyte levels, electrolyte imbalance, and length of hospital stays of the patients were recorded.
Results: Among the AGE patients who were included in the study, 148 (61.2%) were male and 94 (38.8%) were female. The incidence of hypokalemia in patients who had RV(+) GE was statistically significant. Statistically significant differences were detected between the groups in terms of creatinine, potassium, AST, ALT and albumin values of biochemical parameters. When the blood gas analysis of patients who had AGE was evaluated, although acidosis was detected in 24 (9.9%) patients who had pH value, alkalosis was detected in 27 (11.2%) patients.
Conclusion: Cases with metabolic acidosis in rotavirus gastroenteritis are hospitalized more frequently, and for this reason, blood gas studies in cases of RV gastroenteritis will guide clinicians.
