Halo-halo Flashcards
Mostly nephro, Preventive pedia, DevPed, Psych
Cushing Triad
Bradycardia, Hypertension, altered breathing;
can be a sign of life-threatening increased intracranial pressure
Blood anion gap computation
[Na+] - [Cl- + HCO3-]
<12 : absence of anion gap
>20 : presence of anion gap
Bartter syndrome
hypokalemic, hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis with hypercalciuria and salt wasting
Gitelman Syndrome
hypokalemic, hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis with distinct features of hypocalciuria and hypomagnesemia
Type of RTA resulting from impaired bicarbonate reabsorption
Proximal (type II) RTA
Type of RTA resulting from failure to secrete acid
Distal (type I) RTA
Distinguishing features of distal RTA
nephrocalcinosis, hypercalciuria
Most common cause of ESRD in adolescents
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Type of RTA occuring as the result of impaired aldosterone production (hypoaldosteronism) or impaired renal responsiveness to aldosterone (pseudohypoaldosteronism
Hyperkalemic (type IV) RTA
Disorder of water metabolism characterized by an inability to concentrate urine, even in the presence of anti-diuretic hormone
Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
How can you differentiate Central from Nephrogenic Diabetes insipidus?
Administer vasopressin followed by serial urine & serum Osmolality measurements hourly for 4 hours
Treatment for central DI
Desmopressin (synthetic analogue of ADH)
Treatment for Nephrogenic DI
> Maintain adequate fluid intake and access to free water
Minimize UO by limiting solute load with a low osmolar, low sodium diet
Medications directed at decreasing UO
> Thiazide diuretic (induce Na+ loss and stimulate proximal tubule reabsorption of water
> K+-sparing diuretics (amiloride)
Rapid correction of acidosis with bicarbonate can precipitate what in a patient with renal failure
Tetany (because of reduction in ionized Calcium concentration)
Procedures to deplete body potassium stores
> Sodium polystyrene sulfonate resin (Kayexalate)
Calcium gluconate 10% - counteracts the K+-induced increase in myocardial irritability but does not lower the serm K+ level
Sodium bicarbonate - shifts K+ from extracellular to intracellular
Glucose-insulin solution - same MOA as NaHCOe-
