194
what accounts for more than 1/2 of the cases of hypercalcemia?
primary hyperparathyroidism
195
treatment of hypercalcemia involves
volume expansion with NS, increase renal excretion of Ca addition of a loop diuretic
196
also been used to treat hypercalcemia
- bisphosphonates - mithramycin - calcitonin - glucocorticoids - phosphate salts
197
HD is an acute treatment to rapidly lower
serum Ca
198
Mag is the __ most abundant intracellular cation
second
199
what percent of Mag is stored in muscle and bone? within the cells? and within the serum?
40-60% 30% 1%
200
importance of mag in its role as a cofactor in
- enzymatic reactions (involving energy metabolism) - protein synthesis - neuromuscular excitability - function of the Na-K-ATPase pump
201
regulation of Mag occurs where?
intestines and kindeys
202
hypomagnesemia increases cardiovascular death in men and women by what percentage?
8% & 16%
203
hypomagnesemia has an __ effect on the Na-K-ATPase pump resulting in __ ICV of K
inhibitory; decreased
204
IV infusion of mag can relieve severe __ , and it can decrease __ __
bronchospasm; postoperative pain
204
hypo magnesium causes
increased renal or GI losses or poor mag intake and/or medications
205
ECG changes seen with hypomagnesemia
- flat T waves - presence of U waves - prolonged QT interval - widened QRS complexes - atrial and ventricular arrhythmias
206
treatment of hypomagnesemia
IV 1 to 2 g of mag sulfate over 5 mins followed by 1 to 2 g per hour
207
hypermagnesemia is the most commonly the result of
iatrogenic causes
208
hypermagnesemia can result from
- treatment of preeclampsia - preterm labor - ischemic heart dx - cardiac dysrhythmias
209
symptoms of hypermagnesemia
depression of the peripheral and central NS, hypotension, QRS segment widening, PR & QT segment prolongation, heart block, and cardiac arrest
210
magnesium potentiates the action of
NDMR
211
treatment of hypermagnesemia
- d/c mag - in urgent situations (brady, heart block, resp depression) calcium chloride should be used as an antagonist
212
majority of phosphate is located in
bone 85%
213
small amount of phosphate is located in
plasma, phospholipids, phosphate esters, inorganic phosphate (which is the ionized form)
214
intracellular phosphate has numerous metabolic effects such as
component of ATP, and 2,3 -diphosphoglycerate, also acts as a buffer in the regulation of acid/base imbalance
215
the concentration of phosphate in plasma in inversley proportional to
calcium
216
hypophosphatemia is defined as
< 2.0 mg/dL
217
hypophosphatemia causes
increased renal excretion & intestinal malabsorption
218
resp alkalosis can also cause low phosphate levels how?
accelerated use of ATP by cells
219
hypophosphatemia decreased 2-3-DPG is in RBC's causing what shift in ODC
leftward
220
hyperphosphatemia is defined as
greater than 4.7 mg/dL
221
majority of phosphate exists within the ECV, and cellular __ is a leading cause
destruction (exp. metastatic dx)
222
increase phosphate levels cause __ CA levels
decreased so symptoms are synonymous with hypocalcemia
