Central pontine myelinolysis scenario the CPM is caused by polydipsia leading to low blood sodium levels (hyponatremia). In schizophrenic patients with psychogenic polydipsia, inadequate thirst reception leads to excessive water intake, severely diluting serum sodium. With this excessive thirst combined with psychotic symptoms, brain damage such as CPM may result from hyperosmolarity caused by excess intake of fluids, (primary polydipsia) although this is difficult to determine because such patients are often institutionalised and have a long history of mental health conditions. It has been observed following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. CPM may also occur in patients prone to hyponatraemia affected by: The currently
Human serum albumin antigenic and represent many of the important neoantigens found in cooked or stored foods. They also interfere with the normal product of nitric oxide in cells. Although there are several lysine and arginine residues in the serum albumin structure, very few of them can take part in the glycation reaction. It is not clear exactly why only these residues are glycated in serum albumin, but it is suggested that non-covalent binding of glucose to serum albumin prior to the covalent bond formation might be the reason. The albumin is the predominant protein in most body fluids, its Cys34 represents the
