Loss of bicarb

A
  • Big tubule = Colon (diarrhea = rich in Bicarb + sodium. Na loss, Less HCO3, more Cl, unmeasured ions to not change)
  • small tubule = urethra (tube disfuction- proximal renal tubule acidosis type 2 renal tubular acidosis, Down Proximal Bicarb reabsorption, will have loss unless distal tubule makes up for it)

Q

AG acidosis

Lactic acidosis

A
  • byproduct of pyruvate acidosis
  • if lactate up = pyruvate inbalance, or down lactate utilization
  • DX = lactate level, venous pH down *upCO2 cuz DOWN pulmonary blood flow (hypoperfusion)
  • Tx : underlying disorder
19
Q

DX Acid base

A 
1= acidemic/alkalemic?
2= primary disorder, respiratory/metabolic?
3=respiratory (acute/chronic?)
4=Metabolic (Anion gap?)
5= Mixed? Gap/nongap?
6= compensated? If not, why?
20
Q

Delta gap

A

Change in AG/Change in HCO3= 1 = change in bicarb CONSISTENT with change in AG

NO NON-ION GAP PROCESS

21
Q

Alkalosis

A

High extracelluar PH
Primary elvation of bicarb
Respiratory compensation

22
Q

Proton loss =

A

Increase in bicarb concentration

  • GI = n/v, adenoma, ..
  • renal = DIURETICS, …
23
Q

Loop diuretic

A

Up Na delivery to Principal cell, Tubular lumen more negative, H-+ pumped

24
Q

Contraction alkalosis

A

Lose fluid

*higher concentration bicarb = alkalosis

25
Q

Alkalosis

Add Bicarb

A

*Nabicarb
*milk-alkali syndrome
*hypercalcemia
*renal Bicarb reabsorption
*massive blood transfusion (citrate load)
CHECK HISTORY

26
Q

Bicarb reabsorption in nephron

A

Most PCT

Can malfunction in other places

*Na reabsorption = Bicarb reabsorption

27
Q

Alkalosis

Intracellular H movmenet

A

Hypokalemia = K moves out cell, H in

Refeeding syndrome = up increase, H + K movement into cells

28
Q

Maintanence of Met Alkalosis

A

*kidney can’t excrete HCO3

  • hypovolemia/chloremia/kalemia
  • mineralocorticoid excess
29
Q

Volume depletion

Alkalosis

A

Nephron main job = reabsorb Na (bicarb comes with)

  • ang 2 increases Na-H exchanger
  • low pH in PCT ups bicarb reabsoprtion

Free bicarb can’t bind with H to be excreted in cell to lumen, so goes into blood

30
Q

Volume depletion

Alkalosi

A

*2ndary hyperaldosteronism???

31
Q

Alkalosis

Cl- depletion

A
  • decrease Cl to macula densa = 2ndary hyperaldosteronism
  • UP Hatpase to mained electroneurtrality
  • DOWN Clbicarb exchange in intercalated cells, bicarb reabsoprted into blod

Giving chloride to volume depleted tx without tx volume

Cl

32
Q

Hypokalemia

Alkalosis

A
  • Up KHatpase = increase H secretion
  • UP KH transcellur exchagne = up H secretion
  • Up renal NH4 generation, Up Bicarb generation
33
Q

Alkalosis

A

*Down ventilation
*ventr arrythmia
*ortho HypoTN
*GI = N/V
*MSK = cramping, tetany
CNS = confusion, seizures

34
Q

Alkalosis

Cl responsive

A
  • w/ Extracellular fluid volume contraction (conserve Cl)
  • urine CL <20
  • Tx = NaCl (mabye K repletion)
35

U remia
T oluene
E toh
R enal failure/Rhabodomyelosis

Non-ingestion causes

A
  • Uremia
  • Ketoacidosis
  • Lactic Acidosis (sceptic)
41
Q

Metabolic Alkalosis often w/

A
  • Hypo Cl
  • Hypo K
  • hypovolemia
  • high aldosterone (?)
42
Q

Kidney H/HCO3 exchange

A
  • excrete H to bring in HCO3 = PCT

* UP in high pCO2, hypovolemia, hypokalemia

43
Q

Metabolic Acidosis = High AG

Mech

A
  • Acid in blood (H + anion) dissociates

* H to bicarb, then ion accumulates in serum

44
Q

Metabolic acidosis = Normal AG

A
  • lost Bicarb replaced by Cl-
  • AG normal, Cl serum high
  • diarrhea ,RTA II = loss of Na Bicarb (?)
