Obstructive Nephropathy

Deposition or precipitation in the renal tubules

4 drugs

35
Q

A

dysphagia, anorexia, weight loss, beefy red tongue.

36
Q

A

bruising, early graying of hair.

37
Q

B12 specific symptoms?

A

ataxia, paresthesias of hands/feet, forgetfulness, personality changes, dementia, psychoses. (possible cause of dementia in elderly)

38
Q

Fe Def Anemia

What is weird about this?

A

koilonychia (spooning of nails), glossitis, angular stomatitis, achlorhydria, craving for substances low in iron such as clay, ice, or cornstarch. (this effect is known as PICA. We had a young patient who ate the yellow pages, but eating dirt or ice is more common)

Patients have weird cravings

39
Q

Hemolytic Anemias

A

painful crises (especially with sickle cell disease), abdominal pain, hemoglobinuria, jaundice. With chronic hemolysis: cholelithiasis (bilirubin stones); and rarely: angina, syncope, congestive heart failure (high output), leg ulcers.

40
Q

Iron def anemia 5 low labs

One high

A

MCV, MCHC, ferritin, Fe, %sat (TSAT)

HIGH: TIBC

41
Q

What dosage of Fe should patients get when treating iron def

A
  • 150-200 mg/day of elemental iron for at least 6 months.
    • 325 mg TID FeSO4 (20% elemental Fe)
  • Sulfate is the cheapest and best absorbed when not taken with food.
