What lab values indicate pre-renal status?

FeNa < 1




Urine Na < 20




BUN/Cr >30

Which body fluids have the highest K concentration?

Saliva (20 mEq)




Stomach (10 mEq)




Pancreas (5 mEq)

What are the branched chain Amino acids and where are they metabolized?

Valine, leucine and isoleucine




Muscle

Pathway of vitD metabolism?

made in skin --> liver for 25-OH --> kidney for 1-OH

What route of VitA administration helps protect against adverse effects of steroids?

systemic or topical

What percentage of TBW does an infant have?

80%

Which has higher percentage of TBW, men or women?

Men

Do obese patients have higher or lower TBW?

lower

What is the normal distribution of water in a body?

60% is total body water




40% of that is intracellular




20% is extracellular (15% interstitial, 5% plasma)

What is the caloric amount in carbohydrates?

3.4 kCal/g

What is the caloric amount in protein?

4 kCal/g

What is the caloric amount in fat?

9 kCal/g

What is the basal calorie expenditure?

25 kCal/kg/day

How much protein is required in a day

1 g protein/kg/ day

Calculating nitrogen balance

6.25 g ofprotein contains 1 g of Nitrogen.



N balance = N in - N out = (Protein/6.25) -(24 hr urine N + 4 g)

What is the preferred nutrition for small bowel?

glutamine

What is the preferred nutrition for colon?

short chain fatty acids

What does exogenous administration of glutamine do?

decreases translocation, increases mucosal health with chemo or RT to bowel

Which fats are absorbed directly into the portal system?

short and medium chain triglycerides

How is fat absorbed?

micelles transported into enterocytes which form chylomicrons which then enter the lymphatics

What are the consequences of chromium deficiency?

diabetes, neuropathy

What are the consequences of zinc deficiency?

perioral rash




hair loss




poor healing




change in taste

What are the consequences of phosphate deficiency?

respiratory weakness, encephalopathy

What are the consequences of copper deficiency?

anemia




neutropenia

What are the consequences of linoleic acid deficiency?

dermatitis, hair loss, change in vision

What are the consequences of vitA deficiency?

can decrease vitamin C stores

What is the Cori cycle?

glucose is converted to lactate and turned into glucose in the liver

What does the normal brain rely on for metabolism?

glucose

What does the brain utilize in starvation?

ketones from fatty acids

Where does gluconeogenesis occur in late starvation?

Kidney (liver is depleted of alanine)

contents of LR

Na130, K 4, Ca 2.7, Cl 109, bicarb 28*��_

How does alkalosis cause hypokalemia?

Alkalosiscauses hypokalemia by driving K into cells and into urine (exchange for H+)

How do you calculate the sodium deficit?

Na deficit= .6(wt in kg)(140-Na)



replace no more than 1 meq/hr to avoid CPM

By how much does hyperglycemia lower serum Na?

for every 100 glucose over 100, add 2 to Na

Causes of Anion gap acidosis?

methanol,uremia, DKA, paraldehyde, lactic acidosis, ethyleneglycol, salicylates.

How do you calculate the anion gap?

Aniongap = Na - (HCO3 + Cl)



Normal < 12

Formula for serum osmolarity?

(2 x (Na + K)) + (BUN / 2.8) + (glucose / 18)

Why must you replace magnesium if trying to replete calcium?

low magnesium --> inhibition of PTH

Cardiovascular effects of metabolic acidosis

peripheral arteriolar dilatation, a decrease in cardiac contractility, and central venous constriction--> cardiovascular collapse and pulmonary edema

Main vasoconstrictors in intestine?

angiotensin II and vasopressin




(also TRH and thromboxane A2 as well)

What are early and late signs for hyperkalemia on EKG

peaked T waves and shortened QT (early) and flattened p waves (late)

highest potassium in secretions (descending order)

colon>salivary>gastric>bile, pancreatic, duodenum, and ileum

What is type 1 renal tubular acidosis?

Distal in collecting duct




Failure of α intercalated cells to secrete H+ and reclaim K+

What is type 2 renal tubular acidosis?

Proximal tubules




Failure of proximal tubular cells to reabsorb HCO3−

What is type 4 renal tubular acidosis?

Defect in adrenal gland




Deficiency of aldosterone, or a resistance to its effects, (hypoaldosteronism or pseudohypoaldosteronism, hyperkalemia)

Calculating postassium deficit

drop of 1 mEq/L in = 100 to 200 mEq/L.




A further drop from 3.0 to 2.5 =100 to 200 mEq/L for each drop of 0.25 mEq/L

What stimulates aldosterone?

Angiotensin II




High extracellular potassium

Mechanism for ACE inhibitors

block angiotensin I from becoming angiotensin II
