11-12 Flashcards
Metabolic acidosis is pH< ____
Reduced ____
____ compensation by ___
7.36
HCO3
Respiratory, by hyperventilating resulting in reduced PCO2
In metabolic acidosis, an anion gap develops when the accumulating acid contains ___
An anion other than Cl
The most common cause of increased anion gap is ____.
What is a normal anion gap?
Metabolic acidosis
12
Most of the unmeasured anion is ___.
Albumin (normal anion gap is 3x the albumin)
Anion gap calculation:
Na-(Cl+HCO3)
Causes of anion gap acidosis:
L-Lactic acidosis Uremia D-Lactic acidosis Alcoholic and diabetic ketoacidosis Toluene Ethylene glycol and methanol
If the anion gap is >30, the most common anions are ____
Lactate (lactic acidosis) and B-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate (ketoacidosis) of
Metformin can cause ___
Type B/D-Lactic acidosis
How do you distinguish between extrarenal and renal causes of metabolic acidosis?
Urinary anion gap = U.Na + U.K - U.Cl
Normally 30-50
-negative value suggests increased renal excretion of unmeasured cation such as NH4
-positive for renal origin, NH4 excretion is minimal
-large negative is extrarenal, increased NH4
Type 1 RTA
Type 2 RTA
Type 4 RTA
- Classical distal, low plasma K, high Urine pH,
- Proximal, low plasma K, low Urine pH
- Generalized distal defect, high plasma K, low or high Urine pH
Mineral acid-induced acidosis ____ K.
Organic acid-induced acidosis ____ K.
Increases
Does not change
Metabolic alkalosis is serum bicarbonate ___
Greater than 28 (total CO2 greater than 30)
Metabolic alkalosis ___ respiration
Inhibits
*do not extubate
PCO2 increases by ____ for each 1 mmol/L increase in HCO3
0.7 mmHg
____ is due to defective Na-K-2Cl cotransporter. It presents as hypokalemic, hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis
Bartters syndrome
