peds44 Flashcards
repletion phase for hyponatremic or isonatremic dehydration
replace fluids over 24 hours
repletion phase for hypernatremic dehydration
replace more slowly over 48 hours to minimize risk of cerebral edema
oral rehydration salt salotions
balanced mixtures of glucose and electrolytes (since glu co-transport still works in secretroy diarhhea, whereas other pways of Na absorption are impaired)
when is ORT inapprop
severe life-threatening dehydration, paralytic ileus, or GI obstruction, patients with extremely fast stool losses or repeated severe emesis losses
microscopic hematuria
greater than 6 RBCs per HPF, detected on 3 or more consec samples
urinary dipstick for hamturia
detects hemoglobin or myoglobin in the urine
false neg on urine dipstick for hematuria
vit C ingestion
RBC casts
glomerular bleeding (acute or active glomerulonephritis)
dymorphic RBCs
originating in the glomerulus, ofetn have blebs
RBCs that look normal
originate in the lower urinary tract
large numbers of RBCs (esp in the presence of dysuria)
may indicate acute hemorrhagic cystitis (due to bacterial or viral infection or chemotherapeutic agents like cyclophosphamide)
proteinuria
more than 100 mg/m2/day
how to screen for proteinuria
urine dipstick; it detects albumin
false pos on urine dipstick for protein
if urine is very concentrated (sg>1.025) or alkaline (pH > y) or If patient received certain meds (peniccilin, aspirin, oral hypoglycemic agents)
false neg on urine dipstcik for protein
if the urine is very dilute
most accurate way to detect proteinuria
24 hour protein collection ; normal Is less than 100 mg/m2
random spot urine
protein to creatinine ratio; early morning sample is ideal;
normal urine TP/CR for 6-24 months
<0.5
normal urine TP/CR for > 2 years is <0.2
right
benign transient proteinuria
may be associated with vigorous exercise, fever, dehydration, and CHF
