Nephrology Flashcards
Respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis
1.5 (HCO3) + 8
Respiratory compensation for metabolic alkalosis
40 + 0.7 (change in HCO3)
Metabolic compensation for respiratory acidosis
Acute: 1 for 10
Chronic: 4 for 10
Metabolic compensation for respiratory alkalosis
Acute: 2 for 10
Chronic: 5 for 10
Delta/delta
Change in AG / change in HCO3
> 2 = HAGMA + Met alk
< 1 = HAGMA + NAGMA
1-2 = HAGMA
Ketoacidosis with hyperkalemia
Euglycemic OR Diabetic
Ketoacidosis with low or normal K
