Q

Why switch to D5 1/2 NS after 24h?

A

5% dextrose will stimulate insulin release, resulting in amino acid uptake and protein synthesis (prevents protein catabolism)

Q

Fluid replacement for large intestine losses?

A

LR with K+

26
At what rate should GI losses be replaced?
cc/cc
27
Treatment for hyperkalemia?
Calcium gluconate (membrane stabilizer), sodium bicarb (causes alkalosis, KI enters cell in exchange for H), 10U insulin and 1 amp of 50% dextrose, kayexalate, dialysis
28
EKG findings with hypokalemia?
Loss of T waves
29
Symptoms of hypernatremia?
Restlessness, irritability, ataxia, seizures
30
How do you calculate the free water deficit?
0.6 x pt's wt (kg) x [(Na+/140)-1]
31
How do you calculate the water requirement?
(Desired change in Na over 1 days x TBW)/(Desired Na+ after giving water requirement)
32
Rate at which you should change Na?
No more than 0.7 mEq/h (16 mEq/day)
33
Symptoms of hyponatremia?
Headaches, delirium, seizures, nausea, vomiting
34
How do you calculate the sodium deficit?
0.6 x (weight in kg) x (140 - Na)
35
Treatment for hyponatremia?
Water restriction, then diuresis, then NaCl replacement
36
Why correct hyponatremia slowly?
To avoid central pontine myelinosis (no more than 1 mEq/h
37
Most common malignant cause of hypercalcemia?
Breast cancer
38
Treatment for hypercalcemia?
NS @ 200-300/hr, lasix; NO LR or thiazide diuretics
39
Symptoms of hypocalcemia?
Hyperreflexia, Chvostek's sign, perioral tingling and numbness, Trousseau's sign, prolonged QT
40
What is the protein adjustment for calcium?
For ever 1g decrease in protein, add 0.8 to Ca
41
Which patients get hypermagnesemia?
Burn, trauma, renal dialysis pts
42
Treatment for hypermagnesemia?
Calcium
43
What is the anion gap?
Na - (HCO3 + Cl); normal <10-15
44
What causes anion gap acidosis?
Methanol, Uremia, Diabetic ketoacidosis, Paraldehydes, Isoniazid, Lactic acidosis, Ethylene glycol, Salicylates
45
What causes normal gap acidosis?
Due to loss of Na/HCO3- (ileostomies, small bowel fistulas)
46
Treatment of metabolic acidosis?
Treat underlying cause; keep pH >7.2 with bicarb, severely decreased pH can affect myocardial contractility
47
What causes metabiolic alkalosis?
Usually a contraction alkalosis; NGT (hypochloremic, hypokalemic and paradoxical aciduria)
48
What causes the paradoxical aciduria of metabolica alkalosis?
Na+/H+ excanger activated in effort to reabsorb water, plus K+/H+ exchanger in an effort to reabsorb K+ leads to H+ in the urine
49
What causes hypokalemia in metabolic alkalosis?
Loss of water causes kidney to reabsorb Na in exchange for K, losing K
50
What is the best test for azotemia?
FeNa = (urine Na/Cr)/(plasma Na/Cr)
51
What is the FeNa, urine Na, and BUN/Cr ratio in a prerenal patient?
FeNa 20
52
Why is myoglobin toxic to renal cells?
Converted to ferrihemate in acide environment
53
What is the treatment of myoglobinuria?
Alkalinize urine
54
What is tumor lysis syndrome?
Release of purines and pyramidines which leads to increased PO4 and uric acid as well as decreased Ca
55
Treatment for tumor lysis syndrome?
Hydration, allopurinol, diuretics, alkalinization of urine
56
Metabolism of Vitamin D?
Made in skin (UV rays) from 7-dehydrocholesterol --> to liver for (25-OH) --> to kidney for (1-OH)
57
What does the active form of Vitamin D do?
Increases calcium-binding protein, leading to increased intestinal Ca absorption
58
What are the effects of chronic renal failure on Vit D and Ca?
Decreased active vitmain D (dec. 1-OH hydroxylation) leading to decreased Ca reabsorption from gut
59
Why does chronic renal failure cause anemia?
Low erythropoietin
60
What are the effects of increased Angiotensin II from decreased ECV?
Increase CO, increased peripheral resistance; increased sympthetic nerve activity; increased aldosterone; decreased renal blood flow, decreased GFR
