Renal: buzzwords Flashcards
flat neck veins
hypovolemia
poor skin tugor, dry mucous membranes
hypovolemia
increased serum creatinine, incr serum protein, increased BUN:Cr >20:1
hypovolemia
peripheral and vascular edema
hypervolemia
pulmonary edema
hypervolemia
JVD
hypervolemia
decreased hematocrit, decr serum protein and decreased BUN: Cr ratio
hypervolemia
pancreatitis
hypotonic hypovolemic hyponatremia
diarrhea / vomiting
hypotonic hypovolemic hyponatremia
cirrhosis
hypotonic hypervolemic hyponatremia
CHF
hypotonic hypervolemic hyponatremia
one of MCC of hyponatremia
SIADH
polydipsia for cold water
hypernatremia
what is hypernatremia almost always assoc with
hyperosmolarity
lithium
NEPHROGENIC DI
BUN/Cr ratio >20:1
hypovolemia
*decr circulating volume=decr flow to kidneys=more bound urea in blood=incr BUN
low urine sodium and high serum sodium
DI
decr BUN/Cr ratio
HYPOnatremia
or
HYPERvolemia
seizures
hyponatremia
causes for hypervolemia hypernatremia
iatrogenic
primary hyderaldosteronism
euvolemia hypernatremia causes
DI (due to decr ADH)
hypodipsia
hypovolemic hypernatremia causes
renal vs extra-renal loses
hypovolemia hyponatremia causes
renal and extra-renal causes
euvolemia hyponatremia
SIADH (incr ADH)
polydipsia
adrenal insufficiency
hypothyroidism
hypervolemia hyponatremia causes
CHF
cirrhosis
nephrotic syndrome
pink serum
in vitro hemolysis—pseudohyperkalemia
digoxin toxicity–what drug is contraindicated
calcium gluconate or calcium chloride
licorice
can incr htn and cause hypokalemia
hypomagnesemia
causes hypokalemia
U wave on EKG
hypokalemia
diarrhea causes—– metabolic_____
vomiting causes—metabolic ____
vomiting=metabolic alkalosis
diarrhea=metabolic acidosis
diarrhea causes—– metabolic_____
vomiting causes—metabolic ____
vomiting=metabolic alkalosis
diarrhea=metabolic acidosis
MCC hypokalemia
diuretics
what do you not add initially to a K+ chloride solution and why
bicarb and glucose
–>beacuse they drive K+ into the cell
thiazide diuretics work where in the nephron
DCT
ADH acts on what in the nephron
straight segment of the DCT and CD
low PCO2
met acidosis
high PCO2
met alkalosis
osmolar gap calculation
measured-calculated
anion gap calculation
[NA] - (Cl + HCO3-)
Winters formula
- calcualtes what?
- what is the equation
calculates the expected PaCO2 aka how well are the lungs compensation for the metabolic acidosis
{(1.5 x HCO3) + 8}
normal pco2
35-45
normal bicarb
22-26
how do you know if there is respiratory compensation
if the PCO2 is going in the same direction as the ph
- acidosis LOW ph so compensation= LOW CO2
- alkalosis HIGH ph so compensation=HIGH CO2
oxalate crystals in urine
Ethylene glycol ingestion
***causing high osmolar gap acidosis
electrolyte values for metabolic acidosis
hyperCA
hyperK
equation for calculated osmolality
2 (NA+) + (Glucose/18) + (BUN/2.8)
RTA type 1 causes
normal AG met. acidosis via bicarb loss
RTA type 2 causes
normal AG met acidosis via decrease acid secretion
RTA type 4 causes
normal AG met acidosis via decr acid secretion
two main causes of normal AG MA
diarrhea
RTA (1, 2, 4)
potential compliaciton when giving bicarb in lactic acidosis?
it produced more lactacte production
(-) UAG
diarrhea is the cause aka extra renal
-NH4 over excretion
(+) UAG
renal cause
- RTA
- NH4 excretion minimal/impaired
hyperaldosteronism causes what metabolic disturbance
-hypoaldosteronism?
HYPER= met alkalosis bc increase secertion of H+ and causes HYPOK
HYPO=met acidosis and causes HYPERK
licorice
can cause met. alklaosis
when diff b/w measured and calculated osmolality is > 10, what are the causes
ETOH–ethanol, methanol, ethyelen gycol, isoproprly alchool
Osmotic diruetics–mannitol
***MET ACODISOS
oval fat bodies on urine sediment
hyperlipidemia—indicative of nephrotic syndrome
urine >3,000 PU in 24.hrs
nephrotic
fatty cast on urine sediment
high urinary protein nephrotic syndrome
maltese cross pattern under polarized light
high urinary protein nephrotic syndrome
