Renal 2 Flashcards
what pH imbalance does renal tubular acidosis cause
metabolic acidosis
what is type 1 renal tubular acidosis
failure of DCT to excrete H+
what is type 2 renal tubular acidosis
failure of DCT to reabsorb bicarbonate ion
what is type 3 renal tubular acidosis
a mix of type 1 and 2
failure of the DCT to excrete H+ and the PCT to rabsorb bicarbonate
what is type 4 renal tubular acidosis
low aldosterone causes hyperkalemia
this causes a lack of ammonia production, alongside H+ being excreted in the urine
urine pH and blood K+ in renal tubular acidosis type 1
urine pH= high
blood K+= hypokalemia
urine pH and blood K+ in renal tubular acidosis type 2
urine pH= high
blood K+= hypokalemia
urine pH and blood K+ in renal tubular acidosis type 4
urine pH= low
blood K+= hyperkalemia
renal tubular acidosis management
type 1 and 2= bicarbonate
type 4= treat cause and replace aldosterone with fludrocortisone, can also use bicarbonate
HUS triad
autoimmune haemolytic anaemia
thrombocytopenia
AKI
HUS is triggered by
e coli 0157
shiga toxin
what happens in HUS
thrombi in small blood vessels throughout the body
HUS timeline
gastroenteritis (diarrhoea which turns bloody in 3 days)
a week after features of HUS develop
what is released in rhabdomyolysis
myoglobin
potassium
creatine kinase
phosphate
what electrolyte imbalance in most dangerous is rhabdomyolysis
hyperkaelmia
