Usually comes with renal failure (partly blamed for aldosterone resistance)
Common in Diabetes Mellitus (because of hyporeninemia)
Treatment –
Treat hyperkalemia
Sometimes mineralocorticoids (mimic aldosterone)
lactic acidosis pathophysiology?
●Increased pyruvate production.
●Reduced entry of pyruvate into mitochondria, where it is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water or converted to glucose precursors.
●A shift of the cellular cytoplasmic redox state such that NADH accumulates and NAD+ falls. This drives the pyruvate/lactate ratio toward lactate.
generally defined as a serum lactate concentration above 4 mmol/L
lactic acidosis anion gap?

- Check Lactate, Ketoacids
- Check Osmollar Gap= Measured osmolarity – Calculated Osmolarity
Calculated = 2Na+ + urea +glucose (millimol)
>25 milliosmol – Suggests methanol or ethylene glycol intoxication

Metabolic Alkalosis Maintenance Etiology?
Decreased HCO3- excretion by the kidneys:
EBV Depletion- Na+/ H2O reabsorption, with it more HCO3- than usual tmax (26 to 33-34)

PTH- FGF23- calcitriol relationship ?
PTH induce secretion of FGF23 and VIT D
both negative feedbacking on PTH.
VIT D induce secretion of FGF23
it negative feedbacking on VIT D
negative endocrine feedback loops? (with minerals)
PTH and VIT-D induce Ca+2 deposition to bone at low lvls secretion of Ca+2 from bone at high lvls inhibit excretion of Ca from kidney Ca inhibit PTH and VIT-D secretion
VIT-D
inhibit excretion of P from kidney
induce absorption from intestine of Ca+2 and P
FGF23 induce secretion of P from kidney
P induce PTH and FGF23 secretion
high lvls of P forming complexeswith Ca+2 in the serum
thus inducing hypocalcemia
thus
PTH and VIT D generally elevates Ca+2 in serum
VIT-D elevates P in serum
plasma calcium level?
8.8 to 10.3 mg/dL
2.2 to 2.6 mmol/L thus 4.4 to 5.2 mEq/L
50% ionized and free- the only one relevant
10% in complexes
40% bound to proteins
Calcium shifts with normal albumin?
low albumin does not influence on free ionized Ca+2 lvls
acidemia (opposite with alkalemia)
more H+ bound to albumin 🡪 less Ca+2 bound to albumin 🡪 [Ca] Ionized ↑
