Deck 3 Flashcards
how do you diagnose PCKD
abdominal ultrasound
SBP xray findings
dilated loops of bowel and also air in colon in rectum
what infection causes trismus
tetanus
risk of SGLT2 inhibitors
euglycemic DKA, yeast infections
common drugs that cause acute pancreatitis
anti epileptics, steriods, protease inhibitors, etc.
what are some things that cause an exudate
infection, malignancy, PE, autoimmune,
what can cause transudate effusion
cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, CHF
BMP abnromalities in milk-alkali syndrome
high bicarb, hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia (from intestinal binding) and hypomagnesia
what are the main differences in athletets heart vs. HCM echo
athletes heart: mild LV enlargement, mild wall thickening vs. // HCM: small LV cavity size, moderate wall thickness
how soon should a patient increase their hemoglobin after starting iron therapy
within 4 weeks, so if they dont improve in 4 weeks then its not iron deficienc
cautions for opioids and renal insufficiency
metabolites are excreted by the kidney so they can accumulate better to use things like
what drugs can you use in terms of opioids for renal insufficiency
fentanyl, methadone, buprenorphine, hydromorphone
when do you typically start getting AMS from hyponatremia
<120-125
acute digoxin toxicity signs
GI symptoms, lethargy, fatigue
what leads in an RCA infarct
II, III, aVF
what causes amaurosis fugax
this is vasculitis or blockage of the retinal artery from a cardioembolic source
typical signs of necrotizing otitis exerna
granulation tissue along the floor of the ear canal
what are the most common causes of referred otalgia
dental disease and TMJ
which immunosuppresion medication causes tremor
calcineurin inhibitors, tacrolimus and cyclophosphamide
what is seen on peripheral smear of CLL
mature lymphocytosis and smudge cells
what does intensive DM therapy decrease/have no change with
decreases microvascular complications but does not have an affect on all cause mortality or macrovascular complications
what is sodium like in primary polydipsia
it is extremely low because you are taking on too much water
what is sodium like in diabetes insipidus
you get hypernatremia because no water is being kept, and the urine is extremely dilute
compare aldosterone in primary adrenal deficiency vs. panhypopituitarism
in primary adrenal insufficiency you get no aldosterone because the adrenal gland is not working at all and in hypopituitarism you have normal aldosterone because it can be controlled by RAAS
miliary TB signs chest XRAY
diffuse reticulnodular pattern
urine excretion of Ca in familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia vs. parathy adenoma
in FHH there is minimal excretion because there is high PTH which causes increased reabosorption and in parathy adenoma there is high excretion because the kidneys are overloaded
why is FRC and RV high in ankylosing spondylitis
becaues of chest wall motion restriction so there is fibrosis which causes the lungs to stick to chest wall which increases volume
cause of decreased thyroid levels in acute illness
there is increased catabolism and so there is more glucocorticoids which causes decreased TRH feedback and then also there is less caloric intake so you have less energy to make proteins which decreases thyroglobulin
labratory signs of legionella
elevated sodium, transaminitis
do you need to stop isoniazid if it causes elevated liver enzymes
nope
what are the two primary manifestations of chagas disease
megagolon and esophagitis, cardiac disease (heart failure)
TSH in piuitary adenoma vs medication adverse effect
TSH in pit adenoma is low and in med side effect (risperidone) it is normal
which tremor/disease state gets better with voluntary movements
parkinson tremor
effect of caffeine/alcohol on physiologic tremor
increases in intensity
