Q

Hypocalcemia

A

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

17
Q

Hyperkalemia

A

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
18
Q

Hypokalemia

A

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
19
Q

Hypercalcemia

A

Caused mainly by hyperparathyroidism and cancers

Fatigue
Lethargy
Weakness
Confusion-->hallucinations
Seizures, Coma

Heart block
Vtach

20
Q

Hyperphosphatemia

A

AKI or CKD

Can be asymptomatic until Ca binds and causes signs of hypocalcemia.

Calcified deposits in body

21
Q

Hypophosphatemia

A

Often asymptomatic

Acute manifestations:

  • CNS depression
  • Weakness
  • Respiratory failure
  • Heart failure
  • Rickets/Osteomalacia
22
Q

Hypermagnesemia

A

Renal failure

Manifestations:
Hypotension
Facial flushing
Lethargy
Urinary retention
Nausea
Vomiting

Loss of DTR

Coma, cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest can occur

23
Q

Hypomagnesemia

A

Increased GI or renal losses, starvation, chronic ETOH abuse.

Resembles Hypocalcemia

24
Q

GFR range

A

60-120
