low iCa Increased K+ Hyperphos- worse outcome in cats the higher it is

30
Q

What are the factors that lead to anemia in CKD

decreased EPO production
decreased red blood cell life span
Poor nutritionGI blood loss- uremic gastroenteritis

31
Q

Why may some cats have concentrated urine despite CKD

A

Glomerular disease termd glomerulotubular imbalance

32
Q

How do you determine glomerulonephritis vs. tubulointerstitial nephritis

A

Normoglycemia with glucosuria is due to tubular disease as the PCT reabsorbs almost all the glucose filtered. Both will have protien loss. In glomerular it is the larger protiens, and tubular it is smaller protiens

33
Q

List 7 medications that may need to be dose adjusted due to

A

Amakacin, penicillins, cephalsporins, enrofloxacin, gentamicin, TMS, tobramycin

34
Q

In the osmolality calculation what is the ineffective osmole

A

Urea (BUN)- high membrane permeability therefore does not alter water distribution.

35
Q

What is the regulatory response to increase in sodium

A

osmoreceptors in the hypothalmus sense change in effective osmoles (~1%): Increase water via thirst and increase water reabsorption via ADH

36
Q

What is the regulatory response to decrease in sodium

A

Osmoreceptors in the hypothalmus. Decrease water intake, and increase water excretion (absence of ADH)

37
Q

What occurs with hypovolemia and sodium balance

A

Hypovolemia can override the hypothalmus function due to the RAAS will have thirst and increased ADH in the face of low Na

38
Q

What is the difference between osmoregulation and volume reg

A

Osmoregulation: ratio of solutes and water
Volume regulation: determined by the absolute quantity of solutes and water
Solutes=Na

39
Q

How does Isotonic Hyponatremia occur and differentials

A

Error with sampling such as hyperlipidemia or hypoprotienemia

40
Q

How does hypertonic hyponatremia occur and differentials

A

increase in osmolality is due to high plasm glucose or high osmole such as mannitol. Water retained in the ECV by osmotic gradient, low Na due to dilution

41
Q

How does hypovolemic hypotonic hyponatremia occur and what are ddx

A

Non- osmotic stimulation of ADH (Decrease volume) results in H20 rention and low NaUrine Na < 30 mEq/L: Fluid loss- GI, third space, cutaneousUrine Na > 30 mEq/L: hypoadrenocortism, loop diuretics

42
Q

How does normovolemic hypotonic hyponatremia occur and what are ddx

A

Urine Na < 30 mEq/L: Excessive water intesion, hypotonic fluid administrationUrine Na > 30 mEq/L: SIADH, Thiazide diuretics, low T4, antidiuretic drugs

43
Q

How does hypervolemic hypotonic hyponatremia occur and and what are ddx

A

inadequate water excretion (urine > 200 mOsm/kg) or decreased extracellular volume despite increased total body water
Urine Na < 30 mEq/L: Heart failure, liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome
Urine Na > 30 mEq/L: Kidney failure

44
Q

What is the Na adjustment calculation due to glucose elevation

A

Glu > 400 mg/dl: Na decreases by 2.4 mEq/L for every 100 ml increaseGlu <400 mg/dl: Na decreased by 1.6 mEq/L for every 100 ml increase

45
Q

Why do chronic Na have less severe signs (what is the brain’

A

loss of K and Na followed by loss of ogranic solutes such as myonositol and amino acids. Cerebral edema due to hypo osmolality

46
Q

How do you calculate the Na deficit

A

mEq = 0.6 x BW x (Na normal - Na patient)

47
Q

How do you calculate the change in sodium for 1 liter of inf

A

Change Na/L infusate = ( Na infusate + K infusate - Na patient) / (0.6 x BW) + 1

48
Q

In hypovolemic hyponatremic patients how do you treat

A

Use fluid near Pt Na ( w/in 10 mEq/L)Administer desmopression accetate if corrects quickly and need to suppress water excretion

49
Q

What is osmotic demyelation syndrome

A

osmotic shrinkage of axons severing there connections with surrounding myelin sheathsCentral pontine and extrapontine demyelination

50
Q

What are the treatment goals for correcting hyponatremia reg

A

Increase by < 10 mEq/L in first 24 hrsand < 18 mEq/L in first 48 hrsIf severely neuro- give bolus of 3% hypertonic 1-2 ml/kg over 20 minutes to raise 4-6 mEq/L until signs dissappear- goal is still <10 in first 24 hrs

51
Q

How does hypernatremia occur

A

animals can not replace the water loss with water intake
Toxicity- salt ingestion
Hyperaldosterism

52
Q

How does the neurologic signs of hypernatremia occur

A

Water moves out of brain cells down concentration gradient. Adapt: increase brain cell osmolality by increasing Na + K uptake by cells then increase in H20 in cellsIntracellular osmolytes also accumulate

53
Q

How do you treat hypernatremia

A

Acute < 24 hrs rapidly correct in 24 hoursChronic> 48 hrs, decrease < 10 mEq/L in 24 hrs then < 18 mEq/L in first 48 hrs. Avoid excessively slow correction < 0.25 mEq/L/hr

54
Q

Define SIADH

A

Vasopressin release in the abscence of normal osmotic or nonosmotic stimuli

55
Q

What are the 7 criteria for diagnosis of SIADH

A

Hyponatremia w/ plasma hypoosmolarity
Inappropriate high urine osmolarlity in the prescence of plasma hypoosmolarity
Normal renal, adrenal, and thyroid function
Prescence of naturesis despite hyponatremia and plasma hypoosmolality

A

Fenestrated endothelium - negative charge
Basement membrane - neg charge, size
Visceral epithelium podocytes - neg charge

Determined by size (< 4 nm) and favors positive charge

57
Q

Starling forces: Main is glomerular hydrostatic pressure
arterial pressure
afferent and efferent arteriole resistance

58
Q

Explain the effects of vasoconstriction /dilation of the afferent and efferent arterioles on GFR and RBF

Afferent VC Dec RBF and GFR, VD Inc RBF and GFR

Efferent VC Dec RBF and Inc GFR, VD Inc RBF, Dec GFR

59
Q

A

by substances that are passively filtered but not absorbed or secreted by tubules
Inulin used to be standard
Creatinine and SDMA

60
Q

Explain the relationship between GFR and creatinine

A

Only when in steady state and logarithic, no linear realtionship
At lower amt of plasma creatinine increase greater decrease in GFR. At higher amt same increased less decrease in GFR

61
Q

A

The Kidneys will Maintain GFR with BP between 80-180 mmHg…. lost with GA regardless of BP
Myogenic and tubloglomerular feedback

62
Q

Where and how is NA reabsorbed

A

PCT 65% Na/H exchanged, co transport with Glu, aa, phos, organic solutes; gradient AGII, GFR, Norepi
LOH Ascending: 20-30% NaKCl2 co trans; Flow
DCT 5%; NaCl co transport; Flow
CD 5% Na channels; Aldosterone, transport max

63
Q

Where is Cl reabsorbed

A

PCT 55%
LOH ascending 30-40%
DCT 5%
CD 5%

64
Q

Explain how urea gets reabsorbed in the kidney and which factors regulate the reabsorption

A

Reabsorbed in medullary CD down gradient as increases [] in PCT as water is reabsorbed.
Recycling: Secreted back in tubular lumen in ascending LOH
Total 50% reabsorbed that is filtered

65
Q

Explain how and where water gets reabsorbed

A

PCT 65% passive
D LOH 10% Passive
CD 5-24% ADH dependent

66
Q

Explain the concept of glomerulotubular balance vs. Tubuluglomerular feedback

A

Glomerular tubular balance: change in GFR leads to an increased oncotic pressure in capillaries which leads to increased re-absorption of solutes
Tubularglomerular feedback: Change in (Na)Cl sensed by macula densa, leads to paracrin of adenosite and PGE2 for the change in afferent and efferent arteriole size

67
Q

Explain peri-tubular physical forces

A

Change in peritbular capillary will change tubular reabsorption by chagning the interstitum in the same way

68
Q

Describe the osmolality through the tubules and the mechanism

A

PCT: 300 mOsm/kg, No change as solutes and H20 both reabsorbed
Dec LOH 300–> 1200 mOsm/kg, H20 reabsorbed by osmosis as tubular fluid equibilirates with surrounding interstitail fluid in medulla
ASC LOH 1200 –> 300 mOsm/kg, Impermeable to H20, Solues are reabsorped
DCT 100 mOsm/kg Max dilutaion of tubular fluid as continued solute reabsorption
CD 100-1200 mOsm Additional reabsorption of solutes however H20 is based on the presence of ADH

69
Q

What are the mechanism for urine dilution

A

Absence of ADH

70
Q

What are the renal mechanisms for urine concentration

A

ADH

Hyperosmotic renal medulla (via countercurrent mechanism and urea recycling)

71
Q

Explain the countercurrent multipliyer

A

Ascend LOH pumps NaK2CL co transport out of the lumen to intestium changing gradient. The descending then works to balance by H20 leaving, while continued solute pumping.
The descending loop will increase mosm/l and will flow to ascending loop
Multiple times leads to gradient

72
Q

Explain the vasa rectras role in urine concentration

A

Progressive equilibration as interstitium. MAINTENANCE only
Descending–> Solutes inter as water leaves
Ascending Solute leave as water enters
Medullary blood flow < 5%… if increase how you get medullary washout as not able to maintain gradient
