LOC
21
Q

AVP agonist

22
Q

Most common manifestation of hypernatremia

A

Altered mental status

23
Q

Correction of acute hypernat

A

Rate of 1mM/hr

24
Q

Nephrogenic vs central DI in response to DDAVP

A

Nephrogenic - less than 50% increase in Urine osmolality pr <150 mOsm/kg from baseline

25
Q

Nephrogenic DI causes

A

Genetic mutations
Hypercalcemia
Hypokalemia
Drugs (lithiumn ifosfamide, antiviral agents)

26
Q

Major K channels that mediate its secretion

A

ROMK - mediate bulk of K secretion

Flow sensitive big Potassium (BK) channel

27
Q

Increase in distal delivery of Na and distal flow rate: effect on K?

A

Enhance K secretion —> hypokalemia

28
Q

Decrease distal delivery of Na, effect on K?

A

Blunts ability to excrete K —> hyperkalemia

29
Q

Aldosterone effects on K

A

Increases activity of ENaC—> K secretion —> hypoK

30
Q

Possible treatment for TTP

A

Propanolol 3mg/kg

31
Q

Urine calcium in hiazide diuretics vs loop diuretics

A

HYPERcalciuria in LOOP diuretics

HYPOcalciuria in THIAZIDE diuretics

32
Q

Liddle syndrome

A
Autosomal dominant 
Gain in function mutation in ENaC
Severe hypertension + hypokalemia 
Unresponsive to spironolactone 
Sensitive to amiloride
33
Q

Hypokalemic alkalosis

Loss of function of TALH

A

Bartter’s

34
Q
Hypokalemic alkalosis 
Loss of function of DCT segments 
Chondro calcinosis (abnormal deposition of CPPD in joints) 
Hypomagnesemia
Marked hypocalciuria
A

Gittleman’s syndrome

35
Q

ECG changes with K <2.7 mmol/L

A

Broad flat T waves
ST depression
QT prolongation

36
Q

Same clinical manif with Liddle’s syndrome but

Responds to spironolactone

A

SAME (syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess)

37
Q

Reduction of serum K by 2.0 mM results in loss of ____ mmol of total K stores

A

400-800 mmol

38
Q
