Fluids, Electrolytes, Renal Flashcards
Total body and water and extracellular fluid ______ with increasing gestational age
Decrease
At what age does intracellular fluid begin to make up a larger part of total body water
Around three months of age
What percent of body weight is total body water at 24 weeks and at term
90% at 24 weeks gestation and 80% at term delivery
How to correct freewater deficit
Administer four mL/kilo of free water for everyone mEq per liter increase in sodium over 145
When is ADH present in the fetus?
11 weeks gestation
Calculation of plasma osmolality
(2 x plasma sodium) + (glucose mg/dL/18) + (BUN/2.8)
Genetics of congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
X-linked recessive for the vasopressin receptor defect, and autosomal for the Aquaporin defect
Management of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Hydrate, monitor electrolytes, thiazides to increase urine concentrating ability (potassium supplementation as needed.)
Correction of sodium for high glucose
Sodium is decreased by 1.6 mEq/L for each 100 increase in glucose (pseduohyponatremia)
So to calculate= Measured Na + (glucose -100) x 0.016
Calculation of sodium deficit
[Na desired- Na current] x 0.6 x weight (kg)
Where does most of bicarbonate reabsorption occur?
60 to 80% occurs in the proximal tubule
Net acid excretion in the urine equals
(Titratable acids + ammonium) - non-reabsorbed bicarbonate
Where does acidification of the urine occur?
Cortical and medullary collecting tubule cells
Calculation of anion gap
Na - (chloride + bicarb)
Calculation of bicarb replacement
0.3 x bicarb deficit x weight
Problem in type I RTA
Can’t secrete H+ in distal tubule
Problem in type II RTA
Decreased or absent proximal tubule bicarb reabsoprtion
Dehydration, failure to thrive, normal blood pressure, nephrocalcinosis, polyuria, normal serum calcium
Barrter syndrome
Management of Bartter syndrome
Potassium supplementation, +/- thiazide diuretics, +/-indomethacin
When are first nephrons formed
8 weeks gestation
When does urine production start
10-12 weeks gestation
The preterm infant has recused ability to contrite urine due to:
- Tubule insensitivity to vasopressin
- Short loop of henle
- Low osmolality of medullary interstitium (secondary to limited Na reabsorption in thick ascending loop)
- Low serum urea
