Q

if these foot processes which were there are now effaced, why then do we get so much leakage of protein

A

effacement changes the BM, making it more permeable to allow proteins to leak across

Q
  1. 10yo Girl was brough by her parents to their family physician. History revealed that the child had a sore throat for about 10d prior to the office visit. Initial laboratory tests ordered by the family physician revealed an elevated BUN and creatinine. A microscopic urinalysis showed hematuria w/ dysmorphic RBC’s. The light microscopic appearance of the renal biopsy showed hypercellularity, w/ PMN’s present, and there were subepithelial electron dense “humps” seen by electron microscopy. What additional laboratory finding is most likely to be present in this setting:
A

c. Elevated anti-streptolysin O titer

87
Q

how to look at ABG

A
  1. Look at pH.
  2. Look at PCO2
  3. What is the primary disorder (respiratory or metabolic)
  4. Calculate anion gap
  5. Look for compensation
  6. Look for clues to mixed disorders – multiple problems can coexist.
88
Q

Anion Gap

A

4-12 normal

high: ketone, lactic acid, ethylene glycol poisoning

89
Q

Anion Gap equation

A

Na - (Cl + HCO3)

90
Q

Metabolic Acidosis

A

pH less than 7.4 HCO3 less than 24

91
Q

Metabolic Acidosis Respiratory Compensation

A

PCO2 less than 40

92
Q

A

pCO2 greater than 40

93
Q

Respiratory Acidosis Metabolic Compensation

A

HCO3 greater than 24

94
Q

Metabolic Alkalosis

A

pH >7.40, HCo3 greater than 24

95
Q

Metabolic Alkalosis Respiratory Compensation

A

PCO2 greater than 40

96
Q

Respiratory Alkalosis

A

pH >7.40, PCO2 less than 40

97
Q

Respiratory Alkalosis Metabolic Compensation

A

HCO3 less than 24

98
Q

Mixed Disorder Clues

A
  1. pH is normal but PCO2 or HCO3- is abnormal
  2. In anion gap metabolic acidosis, if the change in bicarbonate level is not proportional to the change of the anion gap.
  3. In simple acid base disorders, the compensatory response should never return the pH to normal. If that happens, suspect a mixed disorder
99
Q

Mixed Disorders rule of thumb

A
  • When the PCO2 is elevated and the [HCO3-] reduced, respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis coexist.
  • When the PCO2 is reduced and the [HCO3-] elevated, respiratory alkalosis and metabolic alkalosis coexist
