refere to acid base disturbances on own I am not going over that
Know your different ranges and how to determine them

Describe the RAAS! (basic don’t need to say that renin is released from the juxta…. blah blah blah)
- Kidney releases renin into blood
- Liver releases angiotensinogen
- they meet and convert into ATI
- ACE from the lungs then cahnges ATI into ATII
- ATII stimulates aldonsterone secretion by the adrenal cortex
- aldosterone stimulates Na+ and H2O reabsorption in the nephrons
(ATII also works on the neurohypophysis to release ADH and such, but the basics is above)
remember from previous slides ADH works in collecting ducts, and ALdosterone works in the distal tubule
Blocking the actions of what can cause refractory Hypotension how?
Blocks the release of both aldosterone and ADH

resting membrane potential
Ca++ controls what w/ the membrane potential
threshold
Treatment of Hyperkalemia:
why give Ca++
move threshold away from resting membrane potential
Treatment of Hyperkalemia:
whay give HCO3 and hyperventilate the pt?
decrease Concentration of H+ in the plasma (H+ from ICF to ECF, K+ back inside the cell)
Treatment of Hyperkalemia:
why give a Beta-2 agonist (albuterol) and insulin?
to stimulate Na-K pump, drives K back into cells

thats it for for that next is Renal patho!!!!!
