Potassium serum level changes cause cardiac arrhythmias and should be recognized early. The patient who came to our emergency department with nausea was found to have a wide QRS complex tachycardia on the monitor. Since the hemodynamics of the patient was not stable, rhythm control was provided by performing cardioversion. Since there may be problems with excretion of potassium in the elderly and patients with comorbid diseases and the amount of potassium taken with diet is unknown, potassium level changes should be considered in electrocardiography changes. In this way, the survival rates of the patients who are admitted to the emergency service and whose treatment is started rapidly increases and morbidity rates decrease.
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare, slow progressing disease with inflammatory and fibrotic processes. The identified causes include malignancies, intra-abdominal surgeries, certain drugs, and postinfectious inflammation. However, the cause cannot be identified in most cases. It is observed twice as frequently in males. The mean age is around 50-60 years. Fibrosis usually develops around the abdominal aorta. Ureteral compression can present with symptoms of obstructive uropathy. Surgery is the primary treatment option in patients with hydronephrosis. In this case report, we present the management of RPF which was detected by bedside ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) imaging in a patient admitted to the emergency department with a complaint of flank pain.
