Q

Why would an osmolar gap calculation be used clinically?

A

Q

What is the use of the Delta-Delta gap?

A

Delta-delta gap is used in patients with HAGMA to determine if there is a coexistent NAGMA

-every increase in AG should correspond with an equal decrease in serum HCO3

A

M- methanol
E-Ethanol

D-Diethylene glycol
I- Isopropyl alcohol
E-ethylene glycol

Propyleny glycol, keto acidosis, and lactic acidosis also included

25
Q

Methanol is concerted to what?

A

Methanol is converted to formic acid which can cause blindness (optic disk damage)

26
Q

What is the ethylene glycol metabolism?

A

ethylene glycol–> glycolic acid –> glyoxylic acid–> renal failure, oxalic acid, and glycine

27
Q

What is DURHAAM?

A

DDX for Normal anion gap metabolic acidosis (NAGMA)

D- diarrhea **
U-uretal diversion
R- renal tubular acidosis **
*
H-hyperalimentation (parenteral nutrition
A-acetazolamide (carbonic anhydrase inhibitor)
A-addisions disease
M-miscellaneous

28
Q

What occurs when net excretion by the kidneys is impaired and results in NAGMA?

A

Renal tubular acidosis

29
Q

What cannot be diagnosed in the setting of AKI?

A

RTA

30
Q

Results from decreased net H+ ion section in distal tubules and collecting duct

A

RTA 1 (Distal RTA)

31
Q

Results from decreased HCO - reabsorption in the proximal tubule

A

RTA 2 (Proximal RTA)

32
Q

Results from decreased aldosterone secretion or aldosterone resistance

A

RTA 4 - Hyperkalemic RTA

-leads to decreased net H+ and K+ section in the collecting duct
hyperkalemia-> decreased NH3 synthesis in PCT-> decreased NH4 secretion

33
Q

What is the most common RTA seen in DM2 or CKD?

A

Type 4 RTA (shows hyper kalmia and + urine anion gap

34
Q

What has amionaciduria, phosphaturia, glycosuria, Bicarbonaturia, tubular proteinuria, uricosuria?

A

Proximal tubular dysfunction - Fanconi syndrome

  • may lead to metabolic acidosis, hypophosphateimia, osteopenia
35
Q

What is the Urine anion gap used for?

A

differentiate renal from non-renal causes of NAGMA

-marker of NH4CL exertion

UAG = (UrineNa+ + Urine K+) – UrineCl- Mproximl
• If UAG is negative, it indicates appropriate distal nephron urinary acidification
• If UAG is positive, it indicates inappropriate distal nephron urinary acidification

36
Q

What ion is produce from glutamine metabolism in proximal tubule cell?

A

NH4+

37
Q

What is permeable? NH3 or NH4+?

A
  • AmmoNIA (NH3) is highly permeable and can cross the cell membrane of tubular cells easily
  • AmmoNIUM (NH4+) is impermeable and needs transporter help to move in and out of tubular cells
  • Once a H+ ion bind to NH3 in the collecting duct forming NH4+, it is trapped within the tubular lumen and is ultimately excreted in urine
38
Q

Why is urine Cl- the surrogate marker of ammonium excretion?

A

NH4+ is bound to Cl- to become NH4Cl-

39
Q

Cystinosis in children and Fanconi syndrome in adults (secondary multiple myeloma) , and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors can cause what?

A

Proximal RTA - type 2

-Increased risk of hypophosphotemic rickets

40
Q

NAGMA with or without proximal tubular dysfunction and Hypokalemia are clinical manifestations of what?

A

RTA 2–> Hypokalemia is Mild compared to distal RTA (type 1)

RTA 2 is defect in HCO3 reabsorption in PCT causes increased HCO3 in urine and metabolic acidosis

41
Q

Patients with this RTA cannot acidify urine

A

RTA 1 (distal RTA)

Results from decreased net H+ ion secretion in the distal nephron:

  1. Decreased H+ ion secretion
    • H+/K+-ATPase or H+-ATPase defect
  2. Gradient defect
    • Abnormally permeable distal tubule and collecting duct allows secreted H+ ions to flow back into tubular cell
    – Can be caused by Amphotericin for fungal infections

• Lack of net H+ ion secretion prevents urinary acidification and excretion of ammonium
– Also prevents some HCO - reabsorption in the distal tubule 3

42
Q

What RTA could be seen with Sjogrens or Glue sniffing (Toulene)

A

Distal RTA (RTA type 1)

43
Q

What RTA is associated with nephorlithisasis or nephrocalcinosis?

A

Distal RTA- RTA 1

-decreaed H+ excretion from distal nephron and can’t acidify urine so ammonium is not excreted

44
Q

Acidosis is associated with?

A

hyperkalemia

45
Q

A

46
Q
  1. Hypokalemia
