Q

activates the proton pumps

hormone

A

Q

how does hypokalemia cause metabolic alkalosis?

A
  • potassium moves out
  • H+ moves in to maintain electrical neutrality –> raises blood pH
  • also: increased ammonia production

Q

why does hyperglycemia cause pseudohyponatremia?

A
  • water is driven by glucose out of cells into ECF
  • cause volume expansion
  • dilutes sodium in ECF

Q

why is plasma K+ high in acidosis?

Q

why does acidosis cause hypercalciuria?

A

acidosis triggers osteoclasts –> high bone turnover –> hypercalciuria –> nephrolithiasis

causes generalize reduction in bone density

Q

how does acidosis cause kidney stones?

A

hypercalciuria + increased citrate reabsorption

low citrate and high urine pH precipitate stones

16
Q

what causes pseudohyponatremia in hyperglycemia?

A

high glucose in plasma pulls water into the ECF, dilutes sodium

17
Q

metabolic acidosis from renal tubular acidosis type 1 (distal) can be differed from type 2 (proximal) via…?

A

bicarbonate excretion in urine

18
Q

bicarbonate release in urine is […] in proximal RTA and […] in distal RTA

A

increased in proximal
decreased in distal

19
Q

what favors calcium precipitation in the renal ultrafiltrate?

A

decrease in citrate in urine
and high pH of urine

25
Q

A

distal renal tubular acidosis (type I)

26
Q

in which type of RTA is urine pH > 5.5?

A

distal

type I

27
Q

  • analgesic nephropathy
  • congenital abnormalities
  • obstruction of urinary tract
  • autoimmune disease (SLE)
28
Q
