UW 9 Flashcards
Rhabdomyolysis effect on kidney
Acute renal failure
Excessive filtered myoglobin when CPK > 20,000 causes acute tubular necrosis
Workup for BAT
Hemodynamically unstable
Bedside US or FAST
- if inconclusive, do DPL
When do we do DPL
IF FAST is inconclusive
BAT for hemodynamically unstable patient and Negative FAST exam - next step?
Look for sings of extraabdominal hemorrahge
Presentation of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
Fatigue (Hemolysis)
Cytopenias - fatigue and dyspnea from anemia
Venous thrombosis
What are labs for intravascular hemolysis?
Anemia
Low haptoglobin
High BR
High LDH
Presentation of Acute Intermittent Porphyria
Abdominal pain
Dark red/brown urine
Renal abnormality in Diabetic patients - earliest change
Glomerular hyperfiltration
First quantifiable change in diabetic renal dz
2nd
Later finding
Thickening of glomerular basement membrane
Next - mesangial expansion
Nodular sclerosis later
Mutation in neurofibromatosis - severe variant
Nonsense (and frameshift) = more severe than missense
When do we see Low DLCO
Emphysema - obstructive Interstitial Lung dz - Restrictive Sarcoidosis - R Asbestosis - R Heart Failure - R
When do we see normal DLCO
Chronic bronchitis - O
Msuculoskeletal deformity - R
Neuromuscular - R
When do we see increased DLCO
Asthma - O
Morbid Obesity - R
Tx for V fib
Defibrillation
Tx for pulseless V tach
Defibrillation
Serum C3 complement level in Post-strep GN
Low
Complement level in Membranoproliferative GN
Low
