Quiz Flashcards
Why are electrolytes important?
Electrolytes are essential for body homeostasis, regulating myocardial and neurological function, fluid balance, oxygen delivery, and acid-base balance.
Different between hypo and hyper kalemia?
Hypokalemia is characterized by low potassium levels in the blood causing depolarization of the cell membrane, while hyperkalemia is the opposite having a higher potassium levels causing polarization.
2 Examples of calcium antagonist
Diltiazem
Verapamil
Diagnosis for METABOLIC ALKALOSIS
Metabolic panel
Blood gas analysis
Urine pH
Signs and symptoms for kidney cardiovascular
Hypertension
Heart failure
Vascular disease
Clinically important electrolytes
Sodium
Calcium
Potassium
Progressive syndrome that can result from any changes
in cardiac structure or function that impair the ability of
the ventricle to full with or eject blood.
Heart failure
Occurs when you have abnormally high blood pressure
that’s not the result of a medical condition (WHICH
COULD BE BECAUSE OF obesity, family history, and
unhealthy diet
Primary hypertension
120/87
Stage 1
Failure to properly pump out blood to the body
The heart’s pumping action moves oxygen-rich blood as
it travels from the lungs to the left atrium, then on to the
left ventricle, which pumps it to the rest of the body.
Left-sided heart failure
A reduction in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and/or
urinary abnormalities or structural abnormalities of the
renal tract.
Chronic kidney disease
Stage 2 CKD
Kidney damage with mild GFR
treatment of hyperphosphatemia
Calcium salts
Blood slowly become acidic
No noticeable symptoms
CHRONIC RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS
Suddenly
Leaving kidney no time to adjust
ACUTE RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS
