[Neph/DI]
Causes of nephrogenic DI (4)?
- Hereditary vasopressin receptor defect
- Hypercalcemia, chronic hypokalemia
- Intrinsic renal disease (Sjogren syndrome)
- Drugs: lithium
[Neph/Elec]
Which electrolyte imbalance?
Sx: weakness, paralysis
EKG: tall T, short QT interval, prolonged PR, QRS
Hyperkalemia
[Neph/Elec]
Which electrolyte imbalance?
Sx: decreased DTR, rhabdomyolysis
EKG: U waves
Hypokalemia
[Neph/Hyperaldosteronism]
Bartter vs Gitelman vs Liddle
Neonate with severe dehydration
Normal BP
High urine calcium (stones, hypocalcemia)
High aldosterone
High renin
Associated with deafness
Batter syndrome (Batter high urine calcium)
: in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle
-> cannot reabsorb sodium and chloride
-> Save Na+, Loses H+ and K+ in the distal tubules
[Neph/Hyperaldosteronism]
Bartter vs Gitelman vs Liddle
5-10 years old, tetany, muscle weakness (hypercalcemia)
Normal BP
Hypokalemia
Low urine calcium
High aldosterone
High renin
Gitelman syndrome (Gitel low urine calcium)
: in the distal convoluted tubule
-> defect of sodium-chloride cotransporter
-> Hypomagnesemia -> Hypocalcemia
-> Salt wasting -> High aldo, renin -> Hypokalemia
[Neph/Hyperaldosteronism]
Bartter vs Gitelman vs Liddle and its treatment?
Hypertension
Hypokalemia
Low renin/aldosterone
Liddle syndrome (Liddle HTN)
: in the collecting duct
-> enhanced sodium channel absorption (ENaC)
-> Hypertension, Hypokalemia, Low Renin & Aldo
- Treatment: Amiloride, triamterene
[Neph/Elec]
Which electrolyte imbalance and its treatment?
Sx: Depression, confusion, constipation
EKG: short QT interval, ST-elevation
Hypercalcemia
- Treatment: Calcitonin and bisphosphates
[Neph/Acid-base]
Calculation for
Serum anion gap: ___
Urine anion gap: ___
Serum AG: Na+ - Cl- - HCO3- (normal: 6-12)
Urine AG: Na+ + K+ - Cl- (normal: 0-10)
