Term
orthodeoxia
Definition
oxygen desaturation when a pt stands.
seen specifically in hepatopulmonary syndrome
Term
What antihypertensive is contraindicated in a pt with dec kidney fxn
Definition
lasix
Term
what antihypertensive is contraindicated in a pt with cocain abuse
Definition
BB
Term
what antihypertensive is contraindicated in a pt with kidney stones
Definition
hydrochlorothiazide
Term
what is the max dosage of tylenol a day
Definition
4g
Term
what is the max dose of tyelenol a day in a pt with liver disease
Definition
2g
Term
normal urine output
Definition
1mL/kg/hr
Term
What do liver failure and nephrotic syndrome do to volume status of a pt
Definition
hypoalbuminemia --> third space fluid out of vasculature --> total body hypervolemia but intravascularly depleted
Term
are pt with end stage renal disease hyper or hypovolemic
Definition
hypervolemic
Term
what fluid is NOT helpful in maintaining intravascular volume? why?
Definition
D5W, because only 1/12 of the solution will stay in the intravascular compartment, the rest will diffuse into the total body water
Term
what fluid is best for maintenance?
what fluid is best for replacing intravascular volume
Definition
1. maintain with D5/.45NaCl
2. replace with LR or normal saline
Term
what fluid do you NOT use if a pt has hyperkalemia?
Definition
LR
Term
What fluid is used to correct hypernatremia
Definition
D5W
Term
are pts with sepsis hyper or hypovolemic
Definition
hypo
Term
are ptw with abdominal inflammation processes hyper or hypovolemic
Definition
hypo
Term
how do you calculate the amount of fluids to maintain a person on?
Definition
4/2/1 rule
4ml/kg for first 10kg
2mL/kg for next 10kg
1ml/kg for every additional 1kg
Term
most common adult maintenance fluid
Definition
D5/.45NaCl with 20meq of KCl per liter
Term
what major organ system problems lead to hypervolemia
Definition
nephrotic kidney
CHF
liver cirrhosis
ESRD
Term
4 "laws" of Na concentration vs Na content
Definition
1. Na concentration reflects water homeostasis

2. Na content reflects Na homeostasis

3. hypo and hyperNAtremia are caused by too much or too little water

4. hypo and hypervolemia are caused by too much or too little sodium
Term
how does increased intake of sodium effect kidney function?
Definition
increased intake of Na --> increase in ECF volume --> inc GFR and Na excretion

once the volume of circulating blood goes back down, the GFR declines and the exretion of Na declines as well
Term
how do loop diuretics work
Definition
block NaKCl transporter
Term
how do thiazide diuretics work
Definition
inhibit NaCl cotransporter
Term
what is the major fxn of adh
Definition
increase water reabs
Term
How is hyponatremia categorized?
Definition
1. Hypotonic Hyponatremia
a. hypovolemic
i. low urine Na
ii. hi urine Na
b. euvolemic
c. hypervolemic
2. Isotonic Hyponatremia
3. Hypertonic Hyponatremia
Term
How is hypotonic hypovolemic hyponatremia subdivided?
Definition
It is separated based on urine sodium content. If the urine sodium content is less than 10 then that means the kidneys are trying to help you keep some volume by retaining Na.

If the urine Na is >20 then that means there is something wrong with the kidneys allowing them to waste Na and ultimately dehydrate the body.
Term
What are the causes of hypotonic hypovolemic hyponatremia with a urine sodium < 10?
Definition
diarrhea
NG tube
vomit
burns, sweating
3rd spacing
pancreatitis
Term
What are the causes of hypotonic hypovolemic hyponatremia with a urine sodium > 20?
Definition
diuretic use
ACEI or low aldosterone
Acute tubular necrosis
Term
What are the causes of hypotonic euvolemic hyponatremia
Definition
1. SIADH
2. post-surgery
3. hypothyroidism
4. increased water intake (or overuse of D5W)
5. hypothyroidism
6. psychogenic polydipsia
7. haloperidol
8. cycloposphamide
Term
What are the causes of hypotonic hypervolemic hyponatremia.
Definition
congestive heart failure
nephrotic syndrome (ESRD)
liver cirrhosis
Term
What are the causes of isotonic hyponatremia?
Definition
this is when there is an increase in plasma solids that makes it seem like Na is low, but really it is a pseuxohypnatremia. this would be seen in conditions that have high lipids or protein
Term
What are the causes of hypertonic hyponatremia?
Definition
this is when osmotic substances shift H20 out of cells causing a decrease in Na concentration.

seen in hyperglycemia, mannitol use, sorbitol, glycerol and radiocontrast dyes
Term
how much does an increase in blood glucose change Na
Definition
for every increase in 100mg/dL of glucose, Na decreases by 3mEq/L
Term
what are the symptoms of hyponatremia
Definition
"water intoxication" and cerebral edema symptoms:
1. HA
2. delirium
3. irritability
4. mm twitch, weakness
Term
how does hyponatremia effect DTR
Definition
hyperreflexia
Term
how do you treat hypotonic hyponatremia?
Definition
1. mild (na=120-130) withold free water
2. mod (Na=110-120) give loop diuretics with saline
3. severe (Na<110) give hypertonic saline
Term
how do you dose hypertonic saline when treating pt with severe hypotonic hyponatremia
Definition
-increase serum osm by 1-2 per hour
-do not increase more than 9 during first 24 hrs
Term
how is hypernatremia categorized?
Definition
hypovolemic
isovolemic
hypervolemic
Term
what are the causes of hypovolemic hypernatremia
Definition
1. renal losses (diuretics, osmotic diuresis like glycosuria, renal failure)
2. extrarenal losses like diarrhea, sweating, respiratory losses
Term
what are the causes of isovolemic hypernatremia?
Definition
diabetes insipidus
tachypnea
Term
what are the causes of hypervolemic hypernatremia
Definition
itratogenic (TPN or overuse of NaHCO3)
exogenous glucocorticoids
salt water drowning
primary hyperalodosteronism
Term
tx diabetes insipidus
