Nephrology and Urology 6% Flashcards
Primary d/o
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
Acid/base Method
- Check pH >7.4 alkalotic - met if bicarb inc, resp if CO2 dec
met if bicarb dec, resp if CO2 inc - Check AG - Na+- (Cl+HCO3)
- Compensation
- Met Acidosis with AG - 1:1 rule - change in AG = change bicarb (only if doing AG met acidosis)
Non gap metabolic acidosis causes?
Lower GI losses (diarrhea) /ureteral diversion (like diarrhea)
RTA
Prox: MM, acetazolamide, lead, topamax,
Distal: Sjogrens, lupus, amphote, foscarnet, toluene
RTAs
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
Confirm RTA
Urine anion gap = negative (normal) - measure for urine - when can acidify urine/diarrhea ammonium (unmeasured cation)
When AG + -> not dumping ammonium
Proximal RTA vs diarrhea
check products that would be dumping due to prox RTA (AA, glucose, phosphate) - not diarrhea if see these
Anion Gap metabolic acidosis
M ethanol U remia D iabetic ketoacidosis P ropylene glycol, paraldehyde I sonazid (INH) L actate E thylene glycol, ethanol S alicylates - ** also causes respiratory alkalosis
Metabolic gap acidosis with Osmolar gap
AG and Osmolar Gap Methanol Propylene glycol Ethylene glycol, ethanol Osmolar gap=
Ketosis without acidosis in substance AG normal bicarb normal
Isopropyl etoh
Metabolic alkalosis
PCO2 inc’d = 0.6(change in bicarb)
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
Barter’s syndrome - like lasix, normal BP Ucl ?15
Little’s/licorice ingestion - high BP, Ucl>15, dec’d K
Respiratory Acidosis
not breathing - too much PCO2 (chest wall injury, obstruction, CNS resp depression, COPD (chronic)
Acute 1 inc HCO3 for 10 inc PCO2
Chornic 4 inc HCO3 per 10 inc PCO2
Respiratory Alkalosis
Hyperventilating - PE, high altiutde, PNA, sepsis
Acute - dec 2 HCO3 per 10 dec PCO2
Chronic - 5 dec HCO3 per 10 dec PCO2
Glue sniffing
distal RTA (alkalotic urine)
Serum Osm=
2(Na+) + BUN/2.8+Gluc/18
Osm gap=
Ethylene glycol->glycolic acid->CaOx crystals->ATN
Measured serum osm-calculated Osm
if osm gap>50 needs HD
if osm gap <50
Non-gap Met acidosis
Loss of bicarb or unable to excrete H+ RTA Diarrhea Ureterosigmoiostomy Early renal failure Post hyperventillation (blowing off PCO2 - kidney dumps bicarb, absorbs Cl-)
Toner fluid/acetone/isopropyl etoh
NOT converted to acid
converts to ketone - not acidic
No AG

Dec’d transportaion defect in ascending loop of henle
Bartter’s syndrome (Lasix), low BP, low K, UCl>15
