Q

treatment of renal artery stenosis

A

renal artery angioplasty and stenting

20
Q

best initial test for renal artery stenosis

A

doppler US

21
Q

syncope orders

A
If murmur on exam → TTE
If focal deficits on neuro exam → CT + EEG
Chem 7
Telemetry
Oximeter
CBC
Echo
CT head
EKG
If ventricular dysrhythmia diagnosed, consult cardiology for ICD
CK-MB/troponin
22
Q

RLS management

A

Pramipexole or ropinirole
Test for iron
if low, iron replacement can help

23
Q

pleural effusion management

A
if small:
NTD
Consider diuretics
if large (and pH < 7.2):
chest tube
if large and recurrent:
pleurodesis 
If pleurodesis fails:
decortication
24
Q

IgA nephropathy diagnosis

A

renal biopsy

25
Q

treatment of IgA nephropathy

A

steroids
ACEi’s
FISH oil

26
Q

lupus nephritis ddx

A

ANA + antidsDNA + renal biopsy (to determine extent of disease to guide therapy)

27
Q

lupus nephritis treatment

A

sclerosis only – no treatment
mild disease – steroids
severe disease – mycophenolate + steroids

28
Q

TTP treatment

A

plasmapharesis

29
Q

nephrotic range proteinuria

A

3.5 g

30
Q

basic treatment for nephrotic syndromes

A

Initial therapy with steroids, step up to cyclophosphamide after 12 weeks.

31
Q

differential for transient mild proteinuria

A

CHF vs. fever/infection vs. exercise vs. orthostatic proteinuria (From standing all day)

32
Q

basic workup of proteinuria

A

Repeat UA to rule out physiologic (and consider etiologies in differential) → if still elevated, evaluate for physiologic proteinuria –> if not, then get spot urine for protein:creatinine ratio → renal biopsy (positive >3.5:1)

33
Q

fluids on step 3

A

order bolus, then give continuously

34
Q

causes of nephrogenic DI

A

hypokalemia
hypercalcemia
lithium toxicity

35
Q

etiologies of hypervolemic hyponatremia

A

CHF, nephrotic syndrome, cirrhosis.

36
Q

etiologies of euvolemic hyponatremia

A

SIADH

psychogenic polydypsia
hyperglycemia

37
Q

treatment of Addison’s

A

fludrocortisone (aldosterone replacement)

38
Q

SIADH etiologies

A

CNS abnormalities
lung disease
Meds (sulfonylureas, SSRIs, carbamazepine
Cancer

39
Q

treatment of chronic SIADH from cancer

A

demeclocycline

40
Q

constipation differential

A

dehydration vs. meds (CCB’s, opioids, anticholinergics) vs. hypothyroidism vs. diabetic gastroparesis vs. iron replacement

41
