Question | Answer |
---|---|
% body wgt that's total body water, intracell, extracell, plasma, interstitial? | TBW=60% (50% in women), ICF=40%, ECF=20% (incl 15% interstitial, 5% plasma) |
how does Hct change in hypovol | for ea 1L deficit: Hct incrsd 3% |
algorithm of tests for management of low serum Na | 1) measure serum osmolality (to determine if true hypoNa (hypotonic), or hypertonic, or isotonic (pseudohypoNa); 2) if hypotonic measure volume status; 3) if hypovol hypotonic hypoNa measure Urine Na to see if renal Na loss or extrarenal |
Serum osmolality cut off for hypotonic, hypertonic hypoNa | >295=hypertonic, 280-295=nml, <280=hypotonic |
in hypotonic hypoNa, how differentiate extrarenal Na loss and renal Na loss | <10=extrarenal loss, >20=renal Na loss |
causes of hypertonic hypoNa? isotonic HypoNa? | hypertonic=osmotic substances ie hyperGlu; isotonic=other particles, ie fat and protein |
causes of hypovol hypotonic hypoNa (divided by renal and extrarenal) | extrarenal: 3rd space, diarrhea, vomit; renal: diuretic, low aldos, ATN |
causes of euvol hypotonic hypoNa | SIADH, polydipsia, postop, hypothyroid |
causes of hypervol hypotonic hypoNa | CHF, nephrotic, liver dz |
how treat hypovol hyperNa | give isotonic NaCl to restore hemodynamics, then correct Na |
how treat hypervol hyperNa | furosemide |
describe pseudohypoparathroid | AR where end organs not responsive to PTH (so PTH levels are very high); also MR and short metacarpals |
how differentiate renal and GI losses in causing hypoK | GI=urine K<20, renal >20 |
clinical features of hypoK | arrhythmias (flatten/inversion T wave, appearance U wave), i DTR, fatigue, musc wknss, digitalis toxicity, N/V paralytic ileus |
when evaluating hypoK: causes K nml but redistributed | metabolic alkalosis, insulin, epi |
treatment of hypoK | oral KCl, but if <2.5 or arrhythm use IV KCl; max 10mEq/hr by peripheral IV, 20mEq/hr by central lines; add 1% lidocaine bc it burns |
how much KCl treatment raises serum K? | 10mEq KCl incrs 0.1mEq/L |
hyperK and how affects ammonia in kidney | hyperK inihibits renal ammonia synthesis and reabsorb->met acidosis->more hyperK |
causes of hyperK (grpd by incrsd total body K, redistrib, spurious) | incrsd total body K:RF, spironolactone, ACEI, blood transfusion; redistrib: acidosis, tissue/cell breakdown (rhabdomyolysis, hemolysis, burn), GI bleed, insulin defic; spurious: using tourniquet too long w/o rept fist clench |
clinical features of hyperK | arrhythmias, esp>6 (peaked T, long PR, widen QRS, V fib and cardiac arrest); decrsd DTR& N/V (same as hypoK) |
2 MC causes severe hypophosphate | EtOH, DKA |
MC cause hyperphosphate | renal insuffic |
causes of metabolic acidosis w incrsd anion gap | MUDPILES=MeTOH, uremia (CRF), DKA, Paraldehyde, Infxn/Iron/INH, Lactic acidosis (incl hypoxic tissues, shock, hypovol, sepsis), Ethylene glycol/EtOH (although EtOH lactic acid causes AG), Salicylates |
respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis | CO2=1.5(HCO3)+8 +/-2 -->if not in that range, need to look for another acid-base problem. |
what does it mean if CO2 is higher than what calculated for respir compensation for metabol acidosis | respir acidosis--which can indicate impending respi failure |
what 2 events are needed for metabolic alk | 1) an initial event that causes loss of H+ or incrsd HCO3, 2) inability to excrete xtra HCO3 |
what's the algorithm for categories of metabol alk | ECF contraction and hypoK (urine Cl<10 saline responsive) and ECF expansion w HTN (urine Cl>20, saline resistant) |
what are the causes of metabol alk (categorized by Urine Cl) | 1) ECF contraction, urine Cl<10: vomitting (loss H+), diuretics; 2) ECF expansion, urine Cl>20: primary hyperaldost (Na and HCO3 reabsorb, Cl lost), Cushings |
tx for 2 grps of metabol alk | 1) ECF contraction: NS + K; 2) ECF expansion: underlying cause or spironolactone |
compensation amts for respir acidosis | acute: HCO3 incrses 1 mmol/L per 10 CO2, chronic: 4 mmol/L per 10 CO2 |
compensation amts for respir alk | acute: HCO3 decrses 2 mmol/L per 10 CO2, chronic: 5-6 mmol/L per 10 CO2 |
how do PTH, calcitonin, and vit D ea act on bone | PTH and vit D incrs Ca, P reabsorb, calcitonin decrses |
how do PTH, calcitonin, and vit D ea act on GI | PTH activ vitD, calcitonin decrs Ca, vit incrses Ca |
how do PTH, calcitonin, and vit D ea act on renals | PTH and vitD incrs Ca, decrses P; calcitonin does the opposite |
ECG changes QT assoc w metabolites | QT: long=hypoCa or Mg, short=hyperCa; |
ECG changes PR assoc w metabolites | PR: long=hyperK or Mg, short=hypoK; |
ECG changes T wave and QRS wave assoc w metabolites | T: peaked=hyperK or Mg, flattened=hypoK or Mg; QRS: long=hyperK |
ECG changes assoc w Mag | hyper Mag: long QT, flat T; hypo Mag: short PR, pkd T |
what happens to electrolytes in RF | hypoCa (not making 1,25 vitD), Hyper K, Mg, and P, Hypovol Hypotonic HyperNa |
