Q

6 linear points out of the mean would be….

A

Trend

72
Q

73
Q

Uriniary blockage can cause hypo_______

A

74
Q

hyperaldosteronism is ___________ syndrome

A

cushing’s

75
Q

Potassium is ________ with hypoaldosteronism

A

increased

76
Q

____ will enter the cell in acidosis while ___ leaves the cells.

A

H+, K+

causes hyperkalemia and vise versa

77
Q

Insulin causes potassium to ___________ and vise versa.

A

decrease

78
Q

Hypochloremic metabolic __________.

A

alkalosis

79
Q

How is anion gap calculated?

A

(Na + K) - (Cl + HCO3) = 15 mmol/L (10-20)

Na - (Cl + HCO3) = 12 mmol/L (7-16)

80
Q

What parameters constitute total CO2?

A

Total CO2 exists as dissolved CO2 (3%), carbamino derivatives of plasma protein (33%),
and as bicarbonate (64%).

81
Q

What is the major from of CO2 that is transported in the blood?

A

bicarbonate

82
Q

Acidosis can result in elevated levels of plasma _____________.

A

potassium

83
Q

What is the result of alkalosis on potassium?

A

total body potassium will be increased. Potassium will move from the extracellular to intracellular space, shifting with H+; The increase in intracellular potassium stimulates the cells of the distal nephron of the kidney to secrete potassium in the urine.

84
Q

Describe the relationship between parathyroid hormone and magnesium levels.

A

There is a lack of parathyroid hormone production with the decrease in magnesium levels. Magnesium is required for enzymes involved with parathyroid hormone secretion and target organs responses.
