Harvluck B10 W1 Flashcards
Which drug causes metabolic acidosis?
Aspirin overdose
Tachypnoea
Rapid breathing- in kidney examination, indicates pulmonary oedema
pH range of blood
7.34 -7.38
Bradypnoea in kidney examination
Uraemia that leads to encephalopathy and opioid toxicity.
Why does bradypnoea occur?
Reduced GFR so oedema occurs and there is water accumulation in the lungs
Production of ADH hormone
Hypothalamus
Continuous curve of drug
IV dosage
Effect of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
Loss of H+ in urine and retention of sodium
Buffers to ph change in body
Intracellular proteins
Haemoglobin
EC fluid containing HCO3-
Angiotensinogen production
Liver
Kussmaul breathing
Gasping, laboured breathing in respiratory acidosis
Glucocorticoids effect on the kidney
Increases Na+ reabsorption and reduces urine output
Location of Na-K-Cl cotransporter
Basolateral membrane of Loop of Henle
DCT
Most abundant cation in blood plasma
Na+
Most abundant anion in blood plasma
Cl-
Most abundant cation in intracellular fluid
K+
Most abundant anion in the interstitial fluid
Cl-
Most abundant cation in the interstitial fluid
Na+
Most abundant anion in intracellular fluid
HCO3-
Groups susceptible to acid-base imbalance
Infants and elderly
Which cells conserve K+?
Effect of fever on acidosis/alkalosis?
Causes respiratory alkalosis due to increased respiratory drive
Low blood pressure in kidney examination
Sepsis
Sediment in urine
Infection
Vesico-colic fistula
Change in haemoglobin levels
Chronic renal impairment
90% of ion is reabsorbed in PCT
K+
Natural diuretics
Melons, leafy greens, dandelion leaves, cucumbers
Respiratory acidosis
Depression of respiratory centre due to drugs/narcotics
Restrictive or obstructive lung diseases such as emphysema
High blood pressure in kidney examination
Fluid overload
