Metabolic acidosis
Primary disorder pH Compensatory response Predicted compensation Limits of compensation |
decrease in HCO3
decrease decrease in pCO2 Change in pCO2=1.0 to 1.5x in the plasma HCO3 concentration 10mmHg |
|
High anion gap
|
High anion gap: Metabolic alkalosis. Metabolic acidosis: ketoacidosis, renal failure, methanol, ethylene glycol, salicylate, lactic acidosis..
|
|
Acid Gain (high anion gap) except HCL specific mechanism
|
-Incomplete fat oxidation (ketoacids
-Incomplete carbohydrate oxidation (lactic acid -Gain of exogenous acid or toxins |
|
Incomplete fat oxidation (ketoacids) exnamples would be
|
Diabetes, starvation
|
|
Incomplete carbohydrate oxidation (lactic acid) examples
|
Shock, sepsis, seizures
|
|
Gain of exogenous acid or toxin examples
|
1) Hydrochloric acid: NH4CI, arginine chloride, lysine chloride
2)Toxic alcohols: methanol, ethylene glycol, Salicylate |
|
Normal protein metabolism
|
renal failure
|
|
Bicarbonate Loss
(Normal Anion Gap) leading to metabolic acidosis can occur in |
Gastrointestinal HCO3 loss and Renal HCO3 loss
|
|
Example of
Gastrointestinal HCO3- loss |
Diarrhea: loss of pancreatic, biliary, or intestinal secretions
|
|
Example of renal HCO3 loss
|
Proximal and distal renal tubular acidosis
|
|
High Anion Gap in summary can be caused by
|
Uremia
Ketoacidosis Lactic acidosis Salicylate toxicity Methanol toxicity Ethylene glycol toxicity MUDPILES |
|
Incomplete metabolism of Fat, no insulin, glucagon goes up and breaks up fat. Occurs in diabetes, starvation and prolongued alcohol intake
|
Ketosis
|
|
Mitochondria defect or O2 delivery to to mitochondria appropiately, incomplete carbohydrate metabolism
|
Lactic Acidosis
|
|
Protein metabolism problems. Renal failure, accumulation of sulfate and phosphate and urea cant be excreted. This happens in patients on dyalisys, HCO3 added to compesate
|
Uremia
|
|
Formic acid formation is titrated by HCO3 and gives severe acidosis, leading to blindness
|
Methanol toxicity
|
|
Metabolism of ethylene glycol to oxalic acid and glycolic acid leading to precipitation of Ca2+
|
Ethylene glycil toxicity
|
|
How to treat Ethylene Glycol intoxication?
|
give patient ethanol, which competes with ethylene glycol and do a dyalisis
|
|
How can we know if a patient has uremia or not?
|
creatine levels would be normal
|
|
How can we know is not ketoacidosis?
|
glucose levels would be normal, high glucose indicated ketoacidosis
|
|
Normal Anion Gap aka
|
Hypercholeremic acidosis because gap is normal. When this happens dont look for any of the acids tha cause high gap, instead this is caused by loss of HCO3. Seldom gained in Cl.
|
|
In normal anion gap where can the HCO3 be lost?
|
Kidney, GI, resection of illeum, diarrhea. Volume contraction occurs and Cl reab is enhanced leading to hyperchloremia
|
|
Metabolic Alkalosis
Primary Disorder pH Compensatory Response Predicted Compensation Limits of compensation |
HCO3 goes up
pH goes up pCO2 goes up pCO2 should rise by 0.5-1x the rise in plasma HCO3 concentration |
|
Metabolic Alkalosis can occur because
|
Acid loss
Bicarbonate Gain Volume Depletion and Secondary Hyperaldosteronism Volume Expansion and Mineralocorticoid Excess |
|
Renal acid loss examples
|
Mineralocorticoid excess (primary or secondary)
Diuretics Distal delivery of a poorly reabsorbable anion with sodium (e.g., carbenicillin |
|
GI acid loss examples
|
Gastric fluid loss
|
|
Intracellular hydrogen shift example
|
Potassium deficiency
|
|
Bicarbonate Gain example
|
Milk-alkali syndrome, administration of bicarbonate, citrate, or lactate
|
|
Volume Depletion and Secondary
Hyperaldosteronism can occur when |
Gastrointestinal origin (Urine Cl- 20 mEq/L)
Renal origin (Urine Cl- > 20 mEq/L |
|
Volume Expansion and Mineralocorticoid Excess can occur when
|
Low renin states (Urine Cl- > 20 mEq/L)
High renin states (Urine Cl- > 20 mEq/L) |
|
Low renin states (Urine Cl- > 20 mEq/L) example
|
Primary hyperaldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, exogenous mineralocorticoid
administration |
|
High renin states (Urine Cl- > 20 mEq/L) can occur when
|
Renal artery stenosis, renin-secreting tumor
|
|
Respiratory acidosis
Primary disorder pH Compensatory response Predicted compensation limits of compensation |
pCO2 incease
pH decrease HCO3 increase Acute: Plasma HCO3 concentration should rise about 1 for each increament of 10 in PCO2 Chronic: Plasma HCO3- concentration should rise by about 4 mEq/L for each increment of 10 mm Hg in PCO2 Acute limit: 32 Chronic limit: 45 |
|
Respiratory acidosis sites of action
|
Inhibition of
respiratory center Disorders of respiratory muscle, nerves, chest wall Upper and lower airway obstruction |
|
Inhibition of
respiratory center example |
Patients who will not
breathe due to Drugs: Anesthetics, ethanol narcosis, opiates, sedatives Central nervous system lesions Brain stem/high spinal chord lesion |
|
Disorders of respiratory muscle, nerves, chest wall can occur in
|
Myasthenia gravis, poliomyelitis, kyphoscoliosis
|
|
Upper and lower airway obstruction can occur when
|
Pulmonary fibrosis
COPD |
|
Respiratory alkalosis
primary disorder pH Compensatory Response Predicted compensation Limits of compensation |
pCO2 decrease
pH increase HCO3 decrease Acute: Plasma HCO3- concentration should fall by about 2 mEq/L for each decrement of 10 mm Hg in PCO2, but usually not to < 18 mEq/L. Chronic; Plasma HCO3- concentration should fall by about 5 mEq/L for each decrement of 10 mm Hg in PCO2, but usually not to < 12 mEq/L. Acute; 18-20 Chronic; 12-15 |
|
Causes of respiratory mechanism
|
-Stimulation of
respiratory centers -Stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors -Stimulation of intrathoracic receptors. In all of these 3 the ventilation goes up |
|
