Endo/electrolytes/renal Flashcards
electrolyte abnormalities in rhabdo
hyperk, hyperPO4, hypocalcemia
what is considered rhabdo in terms of CK level
CK>5 times upper limit of normal
3 complications of rhabdo
- DIC
- ARF
- compartment syndrome
primary adrenal insufficiency
addison’s disease
ACTH level in primary adrenal insufficiency
elevated
2 other illnesses that mimic renal colic
- renal vein thrombosis
2. aortic/iliac aneurysm
uric acid renal stones on XR
translUcent
MCC of HHS
infection
hypocalcemia ECG
prolonged QTc
hypocalcemia causing facial twitching- sign
Chvostek’s sign
carpal spasm when BP cuff inflated for greater than 3 mins in hypocalcemia
trousseau’s sign
hypoparathryoidism lab abnormalities
hypoCa, hypoPTH, hyperphosphatemia
ECG hypercalcemia
shortened Qtc
indications for dialysis in hypercalcemia
CHF, renal disease, level >18, altered mental status
treatment of TTP
plasmapharesis
what electrolyte should be repleted with thiamine
magnesium
how should thiamine be replaced
thiamine before glucose
phosphate levels in hyperPTH
decreased, PTH promotes renal excretion of phosphate
problem with administering T3
can precipitate arrhythmias and SCD
