Metabolic complications, including hyponatremia and metabolic acidosis have been reported following urinary diversion operations, occasionally together with hyper- or hypokalemia, depending on the bowel segment used. While Hypokalemia often accompanies ureterosigmoidostomy and may develop following ileal conduits, we report a rare case of recurrent life threatening hyperkalemia following this procedure, associated with hyponatremia and acidosis. Reviewing the English literature (1973 to 2016) we found 25 cases of hyperkalemia complicating ureteral diversion procedures, mostly after jejunal conduits. Only five cases of hyperkalemia were described after ileal conduit surgeries, including the current report. We discuss the nature of the metabolic and electrolyte disturbances following urinary diversion and debate possible reasons for the rare cases of hyperkalemia complicating ileal conduits.

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
