Q

Hyper Ca FA. reasoning of checkin Ca and albumin?

A

Ca bounded to albumin.
Changes in albumin conc. can lead to Ca conc. alterations, that do not necessarily affect ionized calcium (physiologic active form).

39
Q

Fa Hyper Ca treatment. 1 st thing?

A

treat underlying cause

40
Q

Fa Hyper Ca treatment.
If mild hyperCa (corected calcium < 12 mg/dL)?

A

does not require urgent treatment.

Maintain hydration (to prevent stones) + avoid factors that can worsen hyper Ca (thiazides, high Ca intake, inactivity)

41
Q

Fa Hyper Ca treatment.
If severe hyper Ca > 14 mg/dL?

A

Need urgent treatment.

Isotonic fluids (+/- furosemide) and calcitonin

Consider bisphosphonates (zoledronic acid, pamidronate)

42
Q

Fa Hyper Ca treatment.
If severe hyper Ca > 14 mg/dL. Intake of sodium what effect?

A

High intake of Na (in isotonic) facilitates renal calcium excretion and prevents renal complications (stones)

43
Q

Fa Hyper Ca treatment.

If 12-14 mg/dl, but asymptomatic?

A

not needed emeregency treatment.

They may follow same precautions as for mild + therapies eg isotonic fluids ——> to facilitate Ca excertion

route?

A

p/os - in most cases
I/v in more severe

59

Fa. HYPO Ca. treatment. what apart Ca?

A

ensure Mg repletion

60
Q

uptd. what is severe/acute hypo Ca?

A

● Symptoms (eg, carpopedal spasm, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, seizures, decreased cardiac function)
● A prolonged QT interval

OR

●In asymptomatic patients with an acute decrease in serum corrected calcium to ≤7.5 mg/dL (≤1.9 mmol/L), who may develop serious complications if untreated

61
Q

uptd. hypo Ca. in CDK but asymtomatic/mild symptoms, what treat?

A

correction of hyperphosphatemia and of low circulating 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D are usually the primary goals. intial therapy with Ca is not waranted

62
Q

uptd. initial treatment for severe hypoCa?

A

Initially, IV calcium (1 or 2 g of calcium gluconate, equivalent to 90 or 180 mg elemental calcium, in 50 mL of D5W or NS) can be infused over 10 to 20 minutes.

may repeat after 10-60 min is symptoms persist.

then infusion: Patients typically require 0.5 to 1.5 mg/kg of elemental calcium per hour.
