Hypocalcemia
Can be caused by damage to parathyroid
Twitchy
Excess DTR
Tetany
Hand cramp when BP taken (Trousseau)
Face spasm when touched (Chvostek)
Stridor
Parasthesia/tingling
Prolonged QT—> can cause Vtach
Hyperkalemia
Most common cause is renal failure
Digoxin and beta blockers can cause decreased potassium reuptake–> higher serum levels
Manifestations:
- Tall peaked T waves
- Loss of P waves
- Prolonged PR
- ST depression
- Widening QRS
- Heart block
- V fib
- Asystole
- Fatigue
- Cramps
- Parasthesia
- Respiratory arrest from paralysis
- Diarrhea, hyperactive GI, vomiting
Hypokalemia
Diarrhea
Laxative misuse
Low magnesium can cause Low potassium
Peaked P wave Prolonged PR interval ST depression Shallow T wave Prominent U wave
Manifestations:
- Heart block
- Ventricle dysrhythmias
- paralysis
- Decreased glucose tolerance–> hyperglycemia
- Respiratory failure
- Constipation/Paralytic ileus
Hypercalcemia
Caused mainly by hyperparathyroidism and cancers
Fatigue Lethargy Weakness Confusion-->hallucinations Seizures, Coma
Heart block
Vtach
Hyperphosphatemia
AKI or CKD
Can be asymptomatic until Ca binds and causes signs of hypocalcemia.
Calcified deposits in body
Hypophosphatemia
Often asymptomatic
Acute manifestations:
- CNS depression
- Weakness
- Respiratory failure
- Heart failure
- Rickets/Osteomalacia
Hypermagnesemia
Renal failure
Manifestations: Hypotension Facial flushing Lethargy Urinary retention Nausea Vomiting
Loss of DTR
Coma, cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest can occur
Hypomagnesemia
Increased GI or renal losses, starvation, chronic ETOH abuse.
Resembles Hypocalcemia
GFR range
60-120
