UW 9 Flashcards
Rhabdomyolysis effect on kidney
Acute renal failure
Excessive filtered myoglobin when CPK > 20,000 causes acute tubular necrosis
Workup for BAT
Hemodynamically unstable
Bedside US or FAST
- if inconclusive, do DPL
When do we do DPL
IF FAST is inconclusive
BAT for hemodynamically unstable patient and Negative FAST exam - next step?
Look for sings of extraabdominal hemorrahge
Presentation of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
Fatigue (Hemolysis)
Cytopenias - fatigue and dyspnea from anemia
Venous thrombosis
What are labs for intravascular hemolysis?
Anemia
Low haptoglobin
High BR
High LDH
Presentation of Acute Intermittent Porphyria
Abdominal pain
Dark red/brown urine
Renal abnormality in Diabetic patients - earliest change
Glomerular hyperfiltration
First quantifiable change in diabetic renal dz
2nd
Later finding
Thickening of glomerular basement membrane
Next - mesangial expansion
Nodular sclerosis later
Mutation in neurofibromatosis - severe variant
Nonsense (and frameshift) = more severe than missense
When do we see Low DLCO
Emphysema - obstructive Interstitial Lung dz - Restrictive Sarcoidosis - R Asbestosis - R Heart Failure - R
When do we see normal DLCO
Chronic bronchitis - O
Msuculoskeletal deformity - R
Neuromuscular - R
When do we see increased DLCO
Asthma - O
Morbid Obesity - R
Tx for V fib
Defibrillation
Tx for pulseless V tach
Defibrillation
Serum C3 complement level in Post-strep GN
Low
Complement level in Membranoproliferative GN
Low
Severe LLQ abdominal pain radiating to groin + vomiting is what
Workup
Obstructive ureterolithiasis
Noncontrast spiral CT of abdomen and pelvis
What is Acute dystonia and TX
EPS sx’s: muscle spasm, stiffness, torticollis, lip smacking
Benztropine
Diphenhydramine
Tx for Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
Dantrolene
Presentation of NMS
High very
Muscle rigidity
Rhabdomyolysis
What is akathisia and what is the tx
Feeling of restlessness/inability to sit still
Tx: Beta blokers
What heme change is seen in Chronic Renal Failure
Abnormal hemostasis - Platelet dysfunction that causes increased BT
Uremic toxins involved
TX: DDAVP
Loss of peripheral vision - gradual + cupping of optic disc + Increased IOP
Primary open angle glaucoma
