Q

Primary d/o

A

Dec’d HCO3 (met acidosis) -> dec’d PCO2 (resp alk compensation) -> 1.3(change in HCO3) +-2

Inc’d HO3 (met alkalosis) - -> inc’d PCO2 (resp acidosis compensation) -> 40+0.7 (change HCO3)

Inc’d PCO2 (resp acidosis) -> Inc’d HCO3 (met alkalosis compensation)-> Acute 1 HCO3 for 10 PCO2, Chronic 3.5 HCO3 for 10 PCO2

Dec’d PCO2 (resp alkalosis) -> dec’d HCO3 (met acidosis - compensation)-> Acute 2 HCO3 for 10 PCO2, Chronic 5HCO3 for 10 PCO2

Q

Acid/base Method

A
  1. Check pH >7.4 alkalotic - met if bicarb inc, resp if CO2 dec
    met if bicarb dec, resp if CO2 inc
  2. Check AG - Na+- (Cl+HCO3)
  3. Compensation
  4. Met Acidosis with AG - 1:1 rule - change in AG = change bicarb (only if doing AG met acidosis)

Q

RTAs

A
Proximal RTA (II) - pH=5, urine AG neg (not able to reclaim bicarb) - spills bicarb - UpH alkaline at first but then acidifes in functional distal tubule
Distal RTA (I) pH>5.5 - pos Urine AG (inappropriately alkaline urine in setting of systemic acidosis) - a/w CaPO4 kidney stones

Diarrhea - pH=5 - tubules are working - diarrhea gets rid of lots of bicarb in blood - kidneys still get rid of ammonium and hydrogen to compensate - pH of urine still acidic - neg AG urine

Hyporenin hypoaldo (IV) - no aldo, can’t get rid of K -> get hyperkalemia - alkaline pH

Q

Confirm RTA

A

Urine anion gap = negative (normal) - measure for urine - when can acidify urine/diarrhea ammonium (unmeasured cation)
When AG + -> not dumping ammonium

Q

Metabolic alkalosis

PCO2 inc’d = 0.6(change in bicarb)

A

MC acid base abnormality - everyone on diuresis and vomiting (bicarb up, lose hydrogen) - maintained cuz pre-renal - can’t get bicarb out
pH high - high bicarb level
PCO2 inc’d = 0.6(change in bicarb)
Chloride responsive (to saline) - Ucl 20 (hyperaldo)
Mineralocorticoid excess
Diuretic (recent)
Gittleman - like HCTZ dec K, normal BP, UCl>15

change in anion gap from normal should equal change in bicarb from usual level - if not then indicates other process - so there is concurrent metabolic acidosis

Respiratory alkalosis (CO2 low)
Metabolic alkalosis (HCO3 high)

pCO2 reduced despite high bicarb - when pCO2 and HCO3 move in different directions from reference values there are at least 2 acid base problems present - low PCO2 indicates resp alkalosis, high HCO3 shows metabolic alkalosis
Scenario - pre-existing metabolic alkalosis from thiazide therapy - develops PNA with hyperventilation causing respiratory alkalosis
