Sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine
Stauffer syndrome is a rare medical condition that is characterized by the presence of hepatomegaly (enlarged liver), jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and abnormal liver function tests. It is often associated with renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer. The syndrome was first described by Maurice H. Stauffer in 1961.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The symptoms of Stauffer syndrome can vary, but they often include:
- Hepatomegaly (enlarged liver)
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Abnormal liver function tests
- Fever
- Weight loss
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pain in the upper right abdomen
Causes[edit | edit source]
Stauffer syndrome is often associated with renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer. However, the exact cause of the syndrome is not known. It is thought that the cancer cells may produce substances that affect the liver, leading to the symptoms of the syndrome.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
The diagnosis of Stauffer syndrome is usually made based on the presence of the characteristic symptoms and the association with renal cell carcinoma. Liver biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
The treatment of Stauffer syndrome involves treating the underlying renal cell carcinoma. This may involve surgery to remove the kidney tumor, as well as other treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. In some cases, the symptoms of Stauffer syndrome may improve or resolve after the kidney tumor is treated.
Prognosis[edit | edit source]
The prognosis for individuals with Stauffer syndrome depends on the stage and grade of the associated renal cell carcinoma. Early detection and treatment of the kidney cancer can improve the prognosis.
