Q

Is aldosterone ADH?

Q

26
Q

Do you use elemental formula for renal failure pts?

A

No. Renal failure pts need high calorie, low protein formula with electrolytes

Elemental formula for short bowel

27
Q

Which amino acid boosts t lymphocytes and immune system when supplemented?

A

Arginine

28
Q

The brain needs how much sugar a day at least?

A

150g

29
Q

What is the daily protein requirement for someone under no stress?

What about under severe stress?

A

0.8 g/kg

70kg -> 56g

2 g/kg

70kg -> 140g

30
Q

Protein digestion begins where?

A

In the stomach

31
Q

Enterokinase is located where?

A

Duodenal mucosa

32
Q

Absorption of amino acids is complete by what portion of the gi tract?

A

Complete by mid-jejunum

33
Q

T/F: enteral nutrition has a lower overall mortality compared to parenteral nutrition

A

False. There is no survival benefits between any nutrition forms. Lower infectious morbidity though for enteral.

34
Q

What are the albumin cutoffs for moderate and severe malnutrition?

Pre-albumin?

A

Moderate:

  • albumin < 3
  • pre-albumin < 15

Severe:

  • albumin < 2.3
  • pre-albumin < 10
35
Q

T/F: post-pyloric feeds decrease the risk of aspiration

A

False. you’re stenting across the pylorus and most tubes are too short to reach the ligament of treitz

36
Q

T/F: for liver failure pts, standard tube feeds is good enough

A

True. Nothing special. Special only for renal to reduce volume and protein

37
Q

Equation for nitrogen balance?

A

(Protein in/6.25) - (24hr urinary urea nitrogen + 4)

38
Q

For rhabdomyolysis, what electrolye should you replete with hydration?

What organ contains the largest body pool of this electrolyte?

A

Potassium

Muscles contain the largest pool of potassium

39
Q

What is the protein requirement for a critically ill pt? Caloric requirement?

A

2-2.5 g/kg of protein

25-30 kcal/kg

40
Q

Opioid dependence/overdose is more likely to be seen in:

  • Poor black men with no insurance vs old rich white women
  • renal insufficiency vs hepatic insifficiency
A
  • Old rich white women more likely

- renal insufficiency

41
Q

Does lasix cause acidosis or alkalosis?

A

Alkalosis. Blocks sodium reabsorption in the loop of henle

Distal tubules try to compensate and hold on to sodium in exchange if peeing out potassium

Then the body tried to hold onto potassium by peeing our H+ resulting in metabolic alkalosis

42
Q

Daily protein requirement for non-stressed pt vs septic/burn pt?

A

Non-stressed: 0.8g/kg

Burn: 1.5g/kg

43
Q

Half life of pre-albumin?

What has a shorter half life than prealb?

A

2-3 days

Retinol binding protein 12-24hr

44
Q

What’s a negative acute phase reactant?

Are they negative or regular acute phase reactants?

  • pre-albumin
  • retinol binding protein
  • CRP
  • transferrin
A

Levels fall after injury/sepsis

Pre-albumin, RBP, transferrin are negative reactants. CRP is positive

45
Q

What levels of sodium and potassium stimulate the release of aldosterone?

What does dopamine do to aldosterone?

A

Think if what would happen if there was 0 aldo

Hyponatremia
Hyperkalemia

Dopamine inhibits the secretion of aldosterone

46
Q

How much protein should be supplemented in tpn for pts with ESRD?

How much fat?

How much fluid for a 70kg person?

What % dextrose?

A

1.2-1.5g/kg/day

10-20% fat. Too little fat causes essential fatty acid deficiency

30cc/kg. 2100cc

25-50% dextrose. You don’t have to adjust sugar for ESRD nutrition

47
Q

Describe the 0 and 1st order kinetics of pharmacology

A

0th order: elimination is constant regardless of blood concentration

1st order: elimination is proportional to the blood concentration

48
Q

Which amino acid enhances immune by stimulation of T-lymohocytes

A

Arginine

49
Q

What does hyperventilation do to calcium?

A

Alkalosis Increases the binding capacity of calcium for albumin. Less ionized calcium. Lower iCa

50
Q

Which vitamin deficiency causes peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, ataxia, thrombocytopenia, and hemolytic anemia?

A

Vitamin E

51
Q

What is the mechanism for polyuria with hypercalcemia?

A

It induces nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (resistant to ADH)

52
Q

Trousseau vs chvostek. What’s the difference?

A

Both are for hypocalcemia

Trousseau: BP cuff
Chvostek: cheek muscles tapping on parotid.
Chvo is cheek.

53
Q

Active transport or facilitated diffusion?

  • glucose
  • fructose
  • Galactose
A
  • glucose: active transport
  • fructose: facilitated diffusion
  • Galactose: active transport.
54
Q

What is

  • fructose
  • Galactose
  • maltose
A
  • fructose = glucose + sucrose
  • Galactose = glucose + lactose
  • maltose= glucose + glucose
55
Q

Cori cycle can provide what % of circulating glucose during fasting?

What are the precursors of glucose in gluconeogenesis?

What is the ATP balance for cori cycle?

A

40%

Lactate, lyrucate, glycerol, amino acids

4 ATP loss to make 1 glucose

56
Q

What do you get with chromium deficiency?

A

Poor glycemic control

57
Q

What is the most common cause of hypermagnesemia?

A

Renal failure&raquo_space; iatrogenic use in the hospital

58
Q

Hypoparathyroidism causes hypo or hyperphosphatemia?

A

Hypophosphate

PTH raises both Ca and Phos

59
Q

What is the % of total body weight for extracellular volume vs intracellular volume?

A

ECV: 20%
ICV: 40%

60
Q

What’s an indication for elemental formula?

What’s the difference between that and renal formulas?

A

Elemental: proteins are substituted by amino acids. It’s for short bowel syndrome

Renal: high calorie. Low to moderate protein.
