■ Uremia
■ Drugs

19
Q

Signs of DKA

A

○ Abdominal pain and emesis (due to acidemia) + Nausea/Vomiting
○ Abnormal heart rhythm (due to hyperkalemia)
○ Kussmaul - Shortness of breath (respiratory compensation for acidosis)
○ Confusion, stupor, or coma: due to cerebral edema
○ Death (from profound acidosis, hyperkalemia, cerebral edema)

20
Q

diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) levels

A

○ Serum pH <7.3
○ Serum glucose > 16 mmol/L
○ Serum bicarbonate low

21
Q

most common cause of death in pediatric patients with DKA

A

Cerebral edema.

may be worsened by overhydration and rapid correction of hyperglycemia

22
Q

Most common CAH main points

A
21-Hydroxylase deficiency (AR)
Salt wasting form: ambiguous genitalia in females / risk in males (may not be screened)
Sac is black (ACTH - MSH increase)
Hyperkalemia! (and hypotension)
US: adrenals + int. genitelia
BA > CA
23
Q

Hormones in 11-ß-hydroxylase deficiency

A

decreased aldosterone, but shunted towards production of DOC which is an active mineralocorticoid with no negative feedback

24
Q

Low potassium, hypertension, and males w/ ambiguous genitalia.

Which enzyme is deficient?

A

17-α-hydroxylase deficiency

25
Q

PTH is released in response to:

A

Low calcium

High phosphate

26
Q

PTH function

A

Increases Ca reabsorption from kidney
Increases Ca/Po release from bones
Increases Vit D activation

Overall: Ca increase / Po decrease

27
Q

Vit D function

A

Increases Ca/Po absorption from GI
Increases Ca/Po release from bones

Overall: Ca increase / Po increase

28
Q

causes of hypoCa

A

● Early neonatal hypoCa (maternal illness e.g. diabetes or HPT, or complications during birth, such as asphyxia or toxemia.)
● Late neonatal hypoCa (dietary phosphate intake, family history of calcium abnormalities, or possible maternal vitamin D deficiency

29
Q

causes of hyperCa

A

Primary HPT (evaluate for MEN1 or MEN2A!!)

FHH (defective CaSR requires higher than normal Ca to suppress PTH secretion)

30
Q

A

<2 years: fever + poor feeding (may be the only)

> 2 years: more classic symptoms. Fever, dysuria, frequency, urgency, incontinence, abdominal or back pain, hematuria; pyelonephritis suggested by fever, chills, flank pain, and vomiting.
