Guillain-Barre syndrome after myocardial infarction.

Abstract

One patient (case 3) had been taking frusemide and amiloride for six months for cardiac failure. The two other patients were taking no drugs other than stanozolol. The renal failure in cases 1 and 3 occurred during the period of cholestasis and in case 3 necessitated short term peritoneal dialysis. Liver biopsy in cases 1 and 3 showed severe cholestasis and in case 2 showed mixed cholangiolitic and hepatitic changes. Histological examination of the kidney in case 3 showed acute tubular necrosis. The table gives clinical details and biochemical findings. All three patients recovered biochemically over three to six months after withdrawal of the drug.
