The Killip classification is a system used in individuals with an acute myocardial infarction heart attack , in order to risk stratify them. Individuals with a low Killip class are less likely to die within the first 30 days after their myocardial infarction than individuals with a high Killip class. ref cite journal author Killip T, Kimball JT title Treatment of myocardial infarction in a coronary care unit. A two year experience with 250 patients journal Am J Cardiol. volume 20 issue 4 pages 457 64 year 1967 month Oct pmid 6059183 doi 10.1016 0002 9149 67 90023 9 ref The study The study was a case series with unblinded, unobjective outcomes, not adjusted for confounding factors, nor validated in an independent set of patients. The setting was the coronary care unit of a university hospital in the USA. 250 patients were included in the study aged 28 to 94 mean 64, 72 male with a myocardial infarction. Patients with a cardiac arrest prior to admission were excluded. Patients were ranked by Killip class in the following way Killip class I includes individuals with no clinical signs of congestive heart failure heart failure . Killip class II includes individuals with rales or crackles in the lung s, an S sub 3 s , and elevated jugular venous pressure. Killip class III describes individuals with frank acute pulmonary edema . Killip class IV describes individuals in cardiogenic shock or hypotension measured as systolic blood pressure lower than 90 mmHg , and evidence of peripheral vasoconstriction oliguria , cyanosis or sweating .

It may also occur because of some severe obstruction like kidney stone s or tumour s. It may occur with Chronic kidney disease Stage 5 CKD end stage renal disease . It is a more extreme reduction than oliguria , sometimes called anuresis. Causes Failure of kidney function, which can have multiple causes including medications or toxins e.g., antifreeze diabetes high blood pressure. Stones or tumours in the urinary tract can also cause it by creating an obstruction to urinary flow. High blood calcium, oxalate, or uric acid, can contribute to the risk of stone formation. In males, an enlarged prostate gland is a common cause of obstructive anuria. Acute anuria, where the decline in urine production occurs quickly, is usually a sign of obstruction or acute renal failure. Acute renal failure can be caused by factors not related to the kidney, such as heart failure , mercury poisoning , infection, and other conditions that cause the kidney to be deprived of blood flow. Symptoms Anuria itself is a symptom, not a disease. It is often associated with other symptoms of kidney failure, such as lack of appetite, weakness, nausea and vomiting. These are mostly the result of buildup of toxins in the blood which would normally be removed by healthy kidneys. Treatment Treatment is dependent on the underlying cause of this symptom.

unreferenced date May 2010 A septic abortion or septic miscarriage is a form of miscarriage that is associated with a serious uterine infection . The infection carries risk of spreading infection to other parts of the body and cause septicaemia , a grave risk to the life of the woman. Causes A septic abortion can occur when bacteria enters the uterus. The bacteria may also belong to the vaginal flora . Also, sexually transmitted infections STI such as chlamydia may also cause septic abortion. Symptoms In a woman with septic abortion, symptoms that are related to the infection are mainly High fever, usually above 101 Fahrenheit F Chills Severe abdominal pain and or cramping or strong perineal pressure Beginning miscarriage symptoms heavy bleeding and or cramping that suddenly stops and does not resume Prolonged or heavy vaginal bleeding Foul smelling vaginal discharge Backache or heavy back pressure A cold or urinary tract infection may mimic many of the symptoms. As the condition becomes more serious, signs of septic shock may appear, including Low blood pressure hypotension Low body temperature hypothermia Little or no urine output oliguria Respiratory distress dyspnea and labored breathing Septic shock may lead to kidney failure , bleeding diathesis , and disseminated intravascular coagulation DIC . Intestinal organs may also become infected, potentially causing scar tissue with chronic pain, intestinal blockage, and infertility. If the septic abortion is not treated quickly and effectively, the woman may die. Risk factors The risk of a septic abortion is increased by mainly the following factors The fetal membranes surrounding the unborn child have ruptured, sometimes without being detected The woman has a sexually transmitted infection such as chlamydia An intrauterine device IUD was left in place during the pregnancy Tissue from the unborn child or placenta is left inside the uterus after a miscarriage Unsafe abortion was made to end the pregnancy Insertion of ... more details
