- commonly seen are Trousseau’s sign and _____ sign.
ionized
tetany
Chvotek’s
What is associated with hypoalbuminemia?
HYPOcalcemia
- normal ionized Ca— PTH normal so no tetany
- need to correct for decreased albumin
Alkalotic hypercalcemia presents with ____. ____ bound serum Ca, ____ ionized Ca, and ____ PTH.
Tetany
Increased
decreased
increased
Causes of hypercalcemia include:
- primary hyperparathyroidism (MCC -outpt)
- Malginancy-induced (MCC- inpt)
- Thiazide diuretics
How does hyperparathryoidism present?
HIGH Ca
LOW Phosphate
HIGH Cl
HIGH PTH
Causes of hypocalcemia include:
-Hypoalbuminemia (MCC)
-HypoMg (MCC- inpt)
-LOW Vit D– renal disease (MC)
- HYPOparathyroidism
- acute pancreatitis
- Pseudohypoparathyroidism
If you decrease Ca, you also will have decrease in….
Mg and PTH, Vit D, albumin
Causes of hypomagnesemia include:
Alcohol excess
diarrhea
drugs (aminoglycosides, cisplatin, and diuretics)
How does HYPOparathyroidism present?
Thyroid surgery (MCC)
AI destruction
DiGeorge Syndrome
LOW Ca
HIGH PO4
LOW PTH
How does pseudohypoparathryoidism present?
- End organ resistance to PTH
- XLD disease
LOW Ca
HIGH PO4
HIGH PTH (makes PTH but no R to bind it)
“knuckle, knuckle, dimple, knuckle”
Lack of phosphate even in the presence of Ca leads to ________ in adults and _____ in children.
osteomalacia
rickets
Normal Phosphorus:
Adults=
Children=
Adults= 3.0-4.5
Children= 3.6-5.6
How does HYPERphosphatemia present?
-renal failure (MCC)
-pseudohypoparathyroidism
-undiluted cow’s milk (esp. before 1 y/o)
- rhabdo
-tumor lysis syndrome
How does HYPOphosphatemia present?
- resp alkalosis (MCC)
- malabsorption
- primary hyperparathyroidism
- PT dysfunction
- LOW Vit D
Why is hypoPO4 dangerous?
resp failure from LOW ATP
transcellular shift with insulin and
IV infusion in alcoholics
Normal glucose
70-110
HYPERglycemia
- DM (MCC)
- Cushing’s
- acute MI or CVA
- infections
- metabolic acidosis
- relative HYPONa
HYPOglycemia
- too much insulin (MCC- LOW c-peptide)
- Insulinoma (HIGH c-peptide)
- Alcoholism (LOW gluconeogensis)
- impaired glucose tolerance
Normal BUN
7-18
Reabsorption of ___ in the kidneys is ____ dependent.
urea
flow
HIGH GFR increases reabsorption of urea in the PCT
LOW GFR decreases urea reabsorption
Increase in BUN:Cr is seen in…
pre-renal azotemia, post-renal azotemia (variable), increased protein intake, and GI bleeding
Decrease in BUN: Cr is seen in….
