Laboratory values that should be monitored with renal insufficiency patient taking nephrotoxic antibiotics? | Worry about(hyperkalemic), metabolic acidotic, fluid overload, periorbital edema. Give Lasix, they will go into diuretic phase and become hypovolemic so give normal saline. DO NOT give gyntomyicin or vancomicin, no lovanox b/c they are renal toxic |

o What to monitor for patient with toxic hep | lft (liver function test) |
o When drawing labs for this person you would draw for | clotting, liver functions, and Tylenol level. |

o Major complication of cirrhosis | portal hypertension which leads varicies, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, poor clotting, immunosuppression, anemia |

• Ascites | |
o Position for paracentesis | they are in high fowlers |
o Pre-paracentisis | remember to void before the procedure |
o What are you looking for in the paracential fluid? | Bacteria |
• Jaundice | if they have this, this doesn’t necessarily mean they have liver failure |
o Acute care (large bore iv, take over airway, give blood and fluid, ppi, vitamin K) | Know varaciel bleed treatments |
o Octreotide- somatostatin, vasopressin- reduces blood flow | Know varaciel bleed treatments |

If someone had a tips procedure what could be a complication after their bleed (post bleed)? | Hepatic encephalopathy |
Blakemore tube | |
o Hepatic encephalopathy Triggers | complication of cirrhosis, post tips, hyopoK, hypovolemia, opiods, metabolic alkalosis, paracentesis, uremia, |
o Hepatic encephalopathy Side effect | Asterixis (hand flapping when both arms are extended), fetor hepaticus (corpse breath) |
o Hepatic encephalopathy Drug given | Lactulosediarrhea |
o Hepatic encephalopathy Lab monitored | ammonia-NH3- (which will increase) |
• Having hepatitis and autoimmune disease are big risk | for liver cancer (complication) |
• Folminant liver | have to have a transplant |
• Acute pancreatitis treatment | NPO, pain medication, AVOID MORPHINE give dilaudid |
o Pancreatitis Triggers | I GET SMASHED |
o Pancreatitis big worry | low calcium (hypocalcemia) and respiratory compromise in acute phase, lipase will be high |
• Lab values | ast & alt (show inflammation), albumin(late change) bilirubin, amylase & lipase (associated with pancreatitis)?????????? |
