A

<120/80

20

A

<140/90

21
Q

What is the preferred diastolic reading for patients with CAD + CKD?

A

> 70 so to perfuse the coronary arteries appropriately

22
Q

Blocking the ____ prevents progression of diabetic renal and glomerular disease

A

RAAS

23
Q

___ do not prevent the progression of diabetic renal disease.

A

CCBs

24
Q

Inhibition of Ang II…

A

Kidney

27
Q

Name aggravating factors of hyperkalemia.

A

acidosis, Type IV RTA, volume depletion, ACEi/ARBs (+ K binder), K sparing, K supplements

28
Q

Treatment (outpatient) of hyperkalemia include:

A

dietary restriction, correction of acidosis, d/c supps or drugs, Kayexalate, Veltassa, Lokelma, RRT

29

RTA

32
Q

Treatment of metabolic acidosis includes:
