Q

How many miligrams per deciliter are contained in 145mEq/L of Na+

A

1.) convert miliqulivalence per liter to equivalence per liter = (145mEq/1.00L)( 1Eq/110^3L)= .145Eq/1L
2.) .145Eq/L= X g of NA/ (22.99AW of NA/ 1 Val)/ 1L of sol
3.) .145= (X g of Na/ 22.99)
4.) .14522.99= 3.33g/L or X
5.) convert g/L to miligrams/dl
3.33g/L( 1L/10dl)( 1000mg/g)= 333mg/dl

Q

How do you to convert from mg/dl to meq/L. if sodium MW is 23 and the concentration of NA is 350mg/dl

A

1.) convert Mg/dl to g/dl=350mg/dl( 1g/1000mg)(10dl/1L)=3.5g/l
2.) Plug-in g/L into your equation ( g/L of Na/ AW of Na/1VA)= 3.5/ (22.99/1Val)= .1522eq/L
3.) .1522Eq/L( 1000mEq/1Eq)= 152.2mEq/L

Q

Hyperkalemia- There is a high potassium concentration.

A

Hypoaldosterone - Addison’s Disease
Renal failure
Acidosis
High H+ (low pH) → H+ exchange with intracellular K
Insulin deficiency
High glu plasma → high filtration → high water in tubule → dehydration → high K
Translocation of K
Excess intake
Cellular breakdown
Exercise - physical stress stimulate muscle cells to release K
Hospital administration of infusion solutions containing K if patient cannot excrete
Anoxia, shock
Very low oxygen → low ATP → no Na/K ATPase activity → K permeability → K leakage
Continued metabolism → high CO2 → acidosis → damage membrane → release K
Artificial False Elevation
Elevated platelet, WBC counts - high clot → cells squished → K leak
Tourniquet left on too long - hypoxia due to low blood → sicked shape RBC → squished → K leak
Results in:
Interference with heart electrical impulses
