Mod 2 Flashcards
Renal tubular acidosis and types
Disorder of renal tubules that leads to anion gap acidosis which occurs if kidneys can’t acidity urine or can’t reabsorb bicarb. Type I II IV
Type 4 is hyperkalemia
Low aldo so less Na reabs so less K secreted so retained in blood
What drug stabilizes cardiac membrane during hyperkalemia
Calcium gluconate
What does Aldo do to k
Retains Na and wastes K via ROMK
Where is most k reabsorbed
PCT
ROMK and ENaC
Na enters cell and blood FROM lumen via ENaC
K plus leaves from cell into lumen via ROMK
What does lots of Na in CD do to K
Enters from lumen to cell via ENaC
Causing K to enter lu,en via ROMK
And Not enough k causes hyperkalemia
What can kidney disease do to k
Hypo
What can diarrhea and vomiting do to k
Hypo
Aldo released during vomiting causing secondary hyperaldonwhich reduces H and K (also k lost directly thru vomit anyway)
What does too much insulin do to K
Hypo
What does stress and catecholamine production do to K
Hypo
Hypokalemia without much K in urine is caused by
GI sources
Maybe laxatives etc
Hypokalemia with lots of k in urine
Due to diuretics like loop and thiazide
RTA types
Channelopathied
I classic distal- can’t secrete h so retained causing acidosis; basic urine
Hypokalemia
Ca P.O. rel from acidic env into filtrate for,Inc renal stones
II pRTA PT can’t reabs HCO3 causing acidosis and hypokalemia
IV distal caused by hypoaldo decr Na reabs this decr K secr causing HYPERKAL
What does Aldo do to sodiu, channels
Increases Na k pump and unregulated ENaC in distal
What does catecholdo to K
Hypokalemia bc muscled need to use the k for flight
