Study Journal Flashcards

1
Q
  • Complete digestion and removal of necrotic tissue
  • Caused by release of lysosomal enzymes from ischemic tissue
  • Phagocytic cells migrate, formation of a cystic cavity

Q

Lithium toxicity

A
  • Narrow therapeutic index
  • Acute toxicity: GI upset, and neurologic findings (NMJ excite, delirium)
  • Chronic toxicity preceded by volume depletion
  • Chronic tox: involuntary mvmt, tremor, and ataxia
  • Excreted exclusively by kidneys, filtered by PCT
  • Thiazides limit Na+ reabs in DCT→+reabs in PCT
  • ACEi’s and NSAIDs also impair clearance

Q

Five phases of inflammatory leukocyte accumulation

A
