Q

Insulin excess → will ____________ potassium

A

decrease

cofactor
44
Ceruloplasmin is a __________enzyme that stores and transports copper to wherever the body needs it.
metallo
45
Copper Excess is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder that causes a defect in Cu2+ metabolism. This causes a build up of copper in tissues such as liver, brain, kidney and cornea (cooper-kayser-fleisher rings) to a toxic toxic level.
Wilson’s disease
46
what lab result with Wilsions disease?
There will be NO copper found in the serum due to low levels of ceruloplasmin
47
Copper deficiency syndrome?
Menkes kinky hair syndrome
48
glucose producing lactic acid: what could it affect?
decrease pH? The osmo gap
49
Deficiency of what is associated with poor wound healing:
Zinc

Primary hyperparathyroidism
70
Know the changes that would occur to calcium (?) and phosphate in metabolic ___
Metabolic acidosis: ⬆ionized calcium and Phosphorus → stone (hydroxyapatite)
71
6 linear points out of the mean would be....
Trend
72
What occurs with a right shift for oxygen binding?
everything increased (⬆H+, temp, 2,3-Bpg) but affinity and pH ⬇
73
Uriniary blockage can cause hypo_______
hyponatremia
74
hyperaldosteronism is ___________ syndrome
cushing's
75
Potassium is ________ with hypoaldosteronism
increased
76
____ will enter the cell in acidosis while ___ leaves the cells.
H+, K+ causes hyperkalemia and vise versa
77
Insulin causes potassium to ___________ and vise versa.
decrease
78
Hypochloremic metabolic __________.
alkalosis
79
How is anion gap calculated?
(Na + K) - (Cl + HCO3) = 15 mmol/L (10-20) Na - (Cl + HCO3) = 12 mmol/L (7-16)
80
What parameters constitute total CO2?
Total CO2 exists as dissolved CO2 (3%), carbamino derivatives of plasma protein (33%), and as bicarbonate (64%).
81
What is the major from of CO2 that is transported in the blood?
bicarbonate
82
Acidosis can result in elevated levels of plasma _____________.
potassium
83
What is the result of alkalosis on potassium?
total body potassium will be increased. Potassium will move from the extracellular to intracellular space, shifting with H+; The increase in intracellular potassium stimulates the cells of the distal nephron of the kidney to secrete potassium in the urine.
84
Describe the relationship between parathyroid hormone and magnesium levels.
There is a lack of parathyroid hormone production with the decrease in magnesium levels. Magnesium is required for enzymes involved with parathyroid hormone secretion and target organs responses.
85
Why is measured serum osmolality compared with calculated osmolality?
to detect presence of unmeasured osmotically active substances, mainly volatile substances, that only contribute to the measured osmolality
