Q

What is the responsible for the major elimination of water?

What are 4 other ways that water loss can be facilitated?

A

Kidneys! - regulate water balance and are the major route for elimination of water from the body

  1. Insensible water loss - evaporation from cells of the skin & respiration
  2. Sweat
  3. GI tract via fecal water (100mL/day)
  4. Diarrhea - increased dramatic water loss (20L/day)

31
Q

What equation defines the anion gap?

A

={Na - (Cl + HCO3-)]

32
Q

What is the anion gap?

A

Calculated measure representing unmeasured ions in plasma or serum

  • this includes phosphate, citrate, sulfate, and protein
  • In metabolic acidosis , the serum HCO3 - decreases as it is depleted in buffering fixed acid
  • thus another anion must increase to offset this change (Cl increases)
33
Q

What type of metabolic disorders are the following:
1. RTA Type 2 Kidney

  1. Vomiting
  2. Diabetes Mellitis

What changes in these conditions?

A
  1. Metabolic Acidosis - increase in Cl, decrease in HCO3-( so increase in CO2)
  2. Metabolic Alkalosis - decrease Cl-, increase in HCO3- (decrease CO2)
  3. KetoAcidosis due to increased Lactate Ion
    - decrease in Cl-
    - increase in Anion Gap!!! (35)
34
Q

What is the only example that causes a change to the anion gap?

A

Diabetes Mellitus

35
Q

When does the serum anion gap increase?

When is the serum anion gap normal?

A

When the concentration of an unmeasured anion (phosphate, lactate etc) is increased to replace HCO3-!

(so HCO3 - must decrease)

  • serum anion gap is normal if the concentration of Cl- is increased to replace HCO3 - (hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis)
36
Q

How does vomiting result in metabolic alkalosis?

A

Loss of H+ ions

  • causes an increase in HCO3- in arterial blood
