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 |

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 |

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) |
