05.07 - Acid Base (Wall) - PP + Handout, No reading, Not watched Flashcards
Expected HCO3, pCO2 changes for Acute Respiratory Alkalosis
HCO3 decreases 2 mEq for each 10 mm decrease in pCO2
Type 1 (Distal) RTA is caused by __ and causes ___
Defective H-ATPase, decreased acid secretion
Metabolic Acidosis is ___ Bicarb
Decreased
For simple acid-base disorders, pC02 and HCO3 always
change in same direction
Acid Base disorder caused by Hyperaldosteronism
Metabolic Alkalosis
2 disorders with elevated Bicarb (>30)
Metabolic Alkalosis and Chronic Respiratory Acidosis (with kidney compensation)
How does plasma anion gap change with respiratory disorders
Doesn’t
Urine anion gap is an indirect estimate of
Urinary NH4+ excretion
__ % of Bicarb is reabsorbed in PT via __
90% via Na-H antiporter (Na is driving force)
Why is Citrate given in acid base
Metabolized to Bicarb
Normal Urine Anion Gap
Positive, 10 mEq/L
If PAG is normal in Metabolic acidosis
Might be kidney not making NH4+, or Losing Bicarb by Diarrhea
Why can you tell the difference b/t acute and chronic respiratory disorders
Takes kidneys hours to days to compensate
What inhibits Na channel in principal cell of cortical collecting duct?
Amiloride, Triamterene
Isohydric principle
All buffers change in same direction
Metabolic Alkalosis is ___ Bicarb
Increased
What must accompany NH4+ in urine
Chloride
What is synonymous with send a bicarb into blood
Proton pumped into urine that came from intracellular Carbonic Anhydrase
How does renal failure affect acid base balance
Reduced GFR - Decreased Ammonium excretion
What is invariably present in Simple Acid-Base disorders
Compensation
pH and H+ ranges
6.8-7.8; 16-160 neq/L
When A- from HA is excreted into urine
Normal Plasma Anion gap, increased plasma chloride
Anion Gap if you lose Bicarb directly in stool
None b/c there’s no unmeasured anion
Etiology of Metabolic Alkalosis
Loss of H+ into GI or into urine
Respiratory Acidosis is __ CO2
Increased CO2
What must be present in simple acid-base disorders
Secondary physiologic compensation
When will you have lower or negative UAG
If you’ve lost bicarb by diarrhea, ammonium increases in urine, and chloride accompanies it
Major extracellular buffer
Bicarb
If Na concentration stays constant, but Chloride conc. changes, then
an acid base disorder is present
What acid base disorder can dietary protein intake cause
Acidosis
What puts bicarb back into urine
Cl/Bicarb (Pendrin) in beta-intercalated cells
Cl responsive in Metabolic Alkalosis means
Urine Cl
Patient with lower GFR develops more severe acidosis following acid load b/c
can’t secrete NH4+ as well
Expected pH changes for Chronic Respiratory Acidosis
HCO3 increases 4 mEq for each 10 mm increase in pCO2
Timeframe of H+ excretion, Bicarb reabsorption, and Bicarb generation
Hours to days
Expected pH Changes for Acute Respiratory Acidosis
HCO3 increases 1 mEq for each 10 mm increase in pCO2
Type 4 (Hypoaldosteronism) RTA is caused by ___ and causes ___
Impaired proton and K secretion, decreased acid secretion
What drug inhibits sodium bicarb reabsorption in proximal tubule
Acetazolamide (CAi)
Speed and effectiveness of 2 buffering routes in respiratory acidosis
(1) Plasma: rapid but limited, 1-2 mEq/L increase in Bicarb; (2) Kidney excretes NH4, generating new bicarb, delayed 2-3 days
