Fluid and Electrolytes/Acid Base Flashcards
(139 cards)
Principal cation in the ECF
Na
Principal cation in the ICF
K
major determinant of LV filling volume, CO, MAP
intravascular volume
diagnostic hallmark of decrease EABV
Urine sodium < 15 (or urine chloride ?)
principal anion lost in diarrhea
bicarbonate
acid base in diarrhea
hyperchloremic acidosis
acid base disorder in diuretics, bartter, Gitelman
hypokalemic alkalosis
K and acid base disorder in adrenal insufficiency
hyperkalemia and met acidosis (lack of aldosterone leading to hyperK)
urine parameters in hypovolemia (3)
u.spg > 1.020,
Una < 10,
Uosm > 400 mOsm/Kg
Fena of hypovolemia
less than 1%
FeNa of hypvolemia with diuretics
less than 30-35%
mainstay for volume replacement
crystalloids isotonic 0.9%
fluid of choice for burns/trauma
colloids
clilnical detection of edema occurs when interstitial fluid is
> 2 to 3 L
sine qua non for Na and water retention in cirrhosis with portal hypertension
intrasinusoidal hypertension > 12 mmHg
halmark of fluid retention in cirrhosis
peripheral arterial vasodilation with vasoconstriction
standard of care for heart failure
B blocker
vasoconstrictor of choice for liver cirrhosis
terlipressin
a-adrenergic agonist inhibits release of glucagon, no effect on renal fxn
Octreotide
inhibiting insulin secretion from the pancreas thus preventing persistent hypoglycemia
treatment of choice for HRS
liver transplantation
daily insensible water loss
8-10 ml/kg
primary determinant of free water excretion in regulation of H20
AVP
most important stimulus of AVP secretion
2
hypertonicity, oncotic pressure of plasma
most sensitive osmoreceptor cells
anterior hypothalamus
