R4 Flashcards
Calcefic uremic arteriophaty(calciohlaxis) CM?
Painful nodule or ulcer
Skin necrosis
Common in adiposity area like the trunk
Intact pheripherial pulse(unlike atherosclerosis-related one)
Soft tissue calcification on imaging
Biopsy: arterial calcification/occlusion and subintimal fibrosis.
Risk factor?
ESRD Hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia Hyperparathyroidism Obesity/DM warfarin(vitamin K increase synthesis of serum protein that prevents calcification)
Serum Magnesium and calciphylaxis?
magnesium prevent extracellularly Ca accumulation—so hypomagnesemia increase the risk
serum Glucose and ESRD?
ESRD decrease insulin clearance –recurrent hypoglycemia risk
the first thing to evaluate in the hyperkalemic patients?
Review medication
aldosterone level in case of persistent hyperkalemia
nuro-complication of hyperkalemia?
paraesthesia
paralysis
Hyperglycemia and hyperkalemia?
glucose > 300 is a risk for hyperkalemia
sign and symptom of Hypercalcemia?
Neuropsychiatric(confusion,stupor and comma)
GI distress
Muscle weakness
Nephrogenic DI–Excessive diuresis–Hypovoluma-AKI
Relation to lung ca?
SCLCa–PTH like peptide(hypercalcemia)
managment?
depend on serum Ca level and presence of a symptom
Serum ca> 14/presence of symptom?
Acute managment
Normal saline hydration plus calcitonin
Avoid loop diuretics unless fluid overloaded(HF)
Long term managment
Biposponate(zoledronic acide,pamidronate)
Moderate(12-14)?
No immediate managment required unless symptomatic
Treat similarly as sever calcimia
asymptomatic or Ca<12?
No immediate managment required
Avoid thiazide, lithium, volume depletion, and prolonged bed rest
Symptoms of hypocalcemia?
Confusion or memory loss. Muscle spasms. Numbness and tingling in the hands, feet, and face. Depression and hallucinations. Muscle cramps. Weak and brittle nails. Cramping Trousseau sign Chovestik sign
Effect of serum PH on Ca level?
H and Ca compet to bind to albumin
Affect the free ionized Ca
Acidosis–Low Ca bind to albumin–Hypercalcimia
Alkalosis–High ca bind to albumin–Hypocalcemia
Effect of serum PH on Po4 level?
Acidosis–Increase movement of PO4 to EC–Hyperphosphatemia
Alkalosis—decrease movement of PO4 to EC–Hypophosphatemia
A positive troussue sign is characterized by?
the appearance of a carpopedal spasm which involves flexion of the wrist, thumb, and MCP joints along with hyperextension of the IP joints.
The Chvostek sign?
a contraction of ipsilateral facial muscles subsequent to percussion over the facial nerve
Drug to be avoided in AKI?
Metformin_-pricipitate LA
ACEI/ARB–worsen AKI
High dose aspirin
GI loss and hypokalemia?
UGI(Vomiting)–metabolic alkalosis–renal K loss
LGI(Diarrhea)–Contain High K–direct K loss
