main concept Flashcards
What electrolytes does the low volume state have?
Total Na, serum Na, Ca, Cl, K
high total Na,
low serum Na (dilutional effect)
low Ca2+(bound to Albumin)
low Cl
low K
Low H(alkaline)
What pH does the low volume state have?
Alkalotic (except diarrhea, RTA Type II, and DKA) b/c Aldo dumps H+
What pH do vomiters have?
Alkalotic b/c you vomit out H+;low volume state
What pH does diarrhea have?
Acidosis b/c stool has bicarb from pancreas
What happened if pulse increase >10 on standing
Hypovolemic shock
What happened if pulse increase <5 on standing?
Autonomic dysfunction
What pump stops working in an energy state?
NA/K pump due to loss of ATP and Mitochondria dysfunction
