Q

Is aldosterone ADH?

A

No. ADH produced in hypothalamus, stored in posterior pituitary. Aldosterone produced by zona glomerulosa (outermost layer of the adrenal cortex)

Hyperkalemia leads to aldosterone production.
Hyponatremia leads to aldosterone production.

25
What happens with chromium deficiency?
Poor glycemic control
26
Do you use elemental formula for renal failure pts?
No. Renal failure pts need high calorie, low protein formula with electrolytes Elemental formula for short bowel
27
Which amino acid boosts t lymphocytes and immune system when supplemented?
Arginine
28
The brain needs how much sugar a day at least?
150g
29
What is the daily protein requirement for someone under no stress? What about under severe stress?
0.8 g/kg 70kg -> 56g 2 g/kg 70kg -> 140g
30
Protein digestion begins where?
In the stomach
31
Enterokinase is located where?
Duodenal mucosa
32
Absorption of amino acids is complete by what portion of the gi tract?
Complete by mid-jejunum
33
T/F: enteral nutrition has a lower overall mortality compared to parenteral nutrition
False. There is no survival benefits between any nutrition forms. Lower infectious morbidity though for enteral.
34
What are the albumin cutoffs for moderate and severe malnutrition? Pre-albumin?
Moderate: - albumin < 3 - pre-albumin < 15 Severe: - albumin < 2.3 - pre-albumin < 10
35
T/F: post-pyloric feeds decrease the risk of aspiration
False. you're stenting across the pylorus and most tubes are too short to reach the ligament of treitz
36
T/F: for liver failure pts, standard tube feeds is good enough
True. Nothing special. Special only for renal to reduce volume and protein
37
Equation for nitrogen balance?
(Protein in/6.25) - (24hr urinary urea nitrogen + 4)
38
For rhabdomyolysis, what electrolye should you replete with hydration? What organ contains the largest body pool of this electrolyte?
Potassium Muscles contain the largest pool of potassium
39
What is the protein requirement for a critically ill pt? Caloric requirement?
2-2.5 g/kg of protein 25-30 kcal/kg
40
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
- Old rich white women more likely | - renal insufficiency
41
Does lasix cause acidosis or alkalosis?
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
Daily protein requirement for non-stressed pt vs septic/burn pt?
Non-stressed: 0.8g/kg | Burn: 1.5g/kg
43
Half life of pre-albumin? What has a shorter half life than prealb?
2-3 days Retinol binding protein 12-24hr
44
What's a negative acute phase reactant? Are they negative or regular acute phase reactants? - pre-albumin - retinol binding protein - CRP - transferrin
Levels fall after injury/sepsis Pre-albumin, RBP, transferrin are negative reactants. CRP is positive
45
What levels of sodium and potassium stimulate the release of aldosterone? What does dopamine do to aldosterone?
Think if what would happen if there was 0 aldo Hyponatremia Hyperkalemia Dopamine inhibits the secretion of aldosterone
46
How much protein should be supplemented in tpn for pts with ESRD? How much fat? How much fluid for a 70kg person? What % dextrose?
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
Describe the 0 and 1st order kinetics of pharmacology
0th order: elimination is constant regardless of blood concentration 1st order: elimination is proportional to the blood concentration
48
Which amino acid enhances immune by stimulation of T-lymohocytes
Arginine
49
What does hyperventilation do to calcium?
Alkalosis Increases the binding capacity of calcium for albumin. Less ionized calcium. Lower iCa
50
Which vitamin deficiency causes peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, ataxia, thrombocytopenia, and hemolytic anemia?
Vitamin E
51
What is the mechanism for polyuria with hypercalcemia?
It induces nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (resistant to ADH)
52
Trousseau vs chvostek. What's the difference?
Both are for hypocalcemia Trousseau: BP cuff Chvostek: cheek muscles tapping on parotid. Chvo is cheek.
53
Active transport or facilitated diffusion? - glucose - fructose - Galactose
- glucose: active transport - fructose: facilitated diffusion - Galactose: active transport.
54
What is - fructose - Galactose - maltose
- fructose = glucose + sucrose - Galactose = glucose + lactose - maltose= glucose + glucose
55
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?
40% Lactate, lyrucate, glycerol, amino acids 4 ATP loss to make 1 glucose
56
What do you get with chromium deficiency?
Poor glycemic control
57
What is the most common cause of hypermagnesemia?
Renal failure >> iatrogenic use in the hospital
58
Hypoparathyroidism causes hypo or hyperphosphatemia?
Hypophosphate PTH raises both Ca and Phos
59
What is the % of total body weight for extracellular volume vs intracellular volume?
ECV: 20% ICV: 40%
60
What's an indication for elemental formula? What's the difference between that and renal formulas?
Elemental: proteins are substituted by amino acids. It's for short bowel syndrome Renal: high calorie. Low to moderate protein.
