| Abstract: |
B Learning Objectives: b Pneumocystis jiiroveci pneumonia (PJP), seen in immunosuppressed patients, often results in severe respiratory failure requiring admission to the intensive care unit. Bronchoscopy with lavage confirmed the diagnosis of PJP prompting initiation of high dose TMP-SMX. B Results: b TMP inhibits amiloride sensitive sodium channels (NaC) in the distal tubules hence decreasing the electrochemical gradient required for K excretion. [Extracted from the article] |
