rapid labs interpretation Flashcards
Anion gap causes
GOLDMARK glycols oxoprolin D lactate L lactate methanol asa renal failure ketoacidosis; AKA;DKA;STARVATION
Tylenol and anion gap
- can happen in therapeutical range in sick patients
- tylenol converted to pyroglutamic acid / send out 5 oxoprolin level/
difference between D-lactate and L-lactate
D lactate - fermentation in large bowel by bacterias e.g. short bowel syndrome
clinically post carbohydrate confusion
L lactic acidosis two types
type A - lack of oxygen - sepsis
type B - impaired krebs or electron transfer system
19 y/o runner coming with confusion and lactic acid 9
NSAIDS toxicity blocking metabolism of glucose - electron transferring system shifting glucose to lactic acid
eg using a lot of gel
hyperemesis gravidarum and lactic acidosis
lack of thiamin;
glucose unable to enter kreb’s cycle
alcoholism and lactic acidosis
lack of thiamin
diabetic with severe lactic acidosis
metformin block electron transferring system
HIV and lactic acidosis
AZT block electronic transfer system
cancer and lactic acidosis
cancer can metabolized to lactic acid glucose
house fire and down with lactic acidosis
cyanide toxicity - block electron chain
CO never found down
b12 deficiency
MMA elevation
homocystein elevation
folic acid elevation
homocysteine elevation only
pancytopenia with indirect hyperbilirubinemia
MCV 120
hypersegmental PMN
LDH up
b12 deficiency
81 y/o nondrinker MCV 120 ANEMIC
ATROPHIC GASTRITIS TEST INTRINSTIC FACTOR AB PARIETAL CELL AB GASTRIN
Which medication is causing B12 deficiency?
metformin
Which GI disease is associated with B12 deficiency
Crohn’s
terminal ileum absorption of b12
34 y/o rash, fatigue, low ferritin, low b12, low vitamin d 25OH
celiac disease
anemia ddx
blood lost anemia
bone marrow failure
hemolysis
low reticulocyte count –> bone marrow issue
ddx 5 groups
b12 deficiency, b1, b6, folate, iron, malnutrition myelophthisis sideroblastic anemia erythropoetin low endocrinne
