Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Hypercyanogenesis is diagnosed by injecting a human patient parenterally with hydroxocobalamine to produce cyanocobalamine, collecting the urine of the patient, decomposing the cyanocobalamine eliminated with the urine by photolysis, and determining the quantity of the thus-liberated hydrocyanic acid.
  • the cyanide level following injection will vary, always initially increasing. In a normal patient, the cyanide level will rapidly thereafter fall to that of hypocyanosis; but in a patient afflicted with persistent hypercyanogene sis, the cyanide level will fall only relatively slowly toward its initial value.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a process for diagnosing hypercyanogenesis by provoking hypercyanogcnesis, that is to say, by provoking an accelerated elimination of the cyanide ions present in excess of normal in the blood. 7
  • the present invention is based on the analysis of the action of hy droxocobalamine on hydrocyanic acid and cyanide compounds in general and of clinical observations which have confirmed the possibility of using hydroxocobalamine as 'a diagnostic agent for hypercyanogenesis, this diagnostic agent simultaneously also having a curative action.
  • hydroxoeobalamine When hydroxoeobalamine is in the presence of hydrocyanic acid or an aqueous solution of cyanide, one molecule of hydroxocobalamine combines with one I molecule of hydrocyanic acid or cyanide with the fortnation of one molecule of cyanocobalamine. Since cyanocobalamine is not toxic, it has been proposed to use eliminated in the urine.
  • the present invention therefore provides a process :for diagnosing hypercyanogenesis characterized in that a a patient is injected parenterally with a high dose of hydroxocobalamine, the urine is collected, the cyanocobalamine expelled with the urine is decomposed by I photolysis, and the thus-liberated hydrocyanic acid is quantitatively determined.
  • the dosage units of the present invention are preferably contained in injectable ampoules each containing a dose of mg. of hydroxocobalamine.
  • the subject was therefore afflictcd with endogenous hydrocyanic auto-intoxication, the normal level of the urinary hydrocyanic acid being reestablished by a single injection of hydroxocobalamine.
