Q

major mechanisms for hyponatremic and decrease Cl (5)

A
  • edematous (H2O retention > Na&Cl retention)
  • dehydrated (Na&Cl loss > H2O loss)
  • hypoadrenocorticism (Addison’s)
  • marked hyponatremia (loop of Henle failure)
  • renal Na loss with anions

Q

how does hypoadrenocorticism cause hyponatremic and decrease Cl

A
  • decrease aldosterone production -> loss of Na & Cl
  • decrease cortisol production -> decrease inhibition of ADH release -> increase ADH -> increase H2O retention -> dilutes Na&Cl -> decrease Na&Cl concentration

Q

how can uroperitoneum cause hyponatremic and decrease Cl

A
  • Na&Cl poor urine enters peritoneal cavity -> plasma Na&Cl diffuse into peritoneal cavity and move down concentration gradient -> decrease Na&Cl concentration

Q

how does marked hyperglycemia cause hyponatremic and decrease Cl

A
  • H2O out of cells -> dilutes ECF [Na] & [Cl] -> decrease Na&Cl concentration
  • glucosuria -> diuresis (polyuria) -> increase renal H2O loss and some Na&Cl loss

Q

2 sites of bicarb formation and pathogenesis

Study These Flashcards
A
  • kidney and stomach

- increase aldosterone -> conserves Na&Cl and excrete K -> excretes H, produces more HCO3

25
major mechanisms for increase HCO3 disorders with metabolic alkalosis in ruminants (2) and in dogs & cats (1)
- abomasal displacement and torsion | - pyloric obstruction
26
major mechanisms for decrease HCO3 disorders - metabolic acidosis (3)
- decrease renal loss of H - increase H production - increase HCO3 loss
27
lactic acidosis and ketoacidosis cause increase or decrease H production
- increase
28
renal failure, urinary obstruction, uroperitoneum cause an increase or decrease renal loss of H
- decrease renal loss of H
29
diarrheas, renal tubular acidosis, ruminant "choke" cause an increase or decrease HCO3 loss
- increase HCO3 loss
30
hypercholremia can be caused by (2)
- increase [Na] (not equal) | - decrease [HCO3] (equal)
31
hypochloremia can be caused by (3)
- decrease Na - increase [HCO3] - increase [A]
32
primary route of K excretion
- kidneys | - increase aldosterone secretion
33
insulin and epinephrine increase __ entry into cells
- K
34
- academia due to metabolic acidosis - decrease renal excretion - pseudohyperkalemia all cause increase or decrease in K
- increase (hyperkalemia)
35
pathogenesis of academia due to metabolic acidosis causing hyperkalemia
- reduced renal excretion of H -> academia -> H moves into cell & K moves out -> hyperkalemia
36
oliguric states, uroperitoneum, Addison's disease all cause increase or decrease of K
- increase
37
how does Addison's disease (hypoadrenocorticism) cause increase K
- adrenocortical hypoplasia -> decrease aldosterone -> decrease Na, K, ATPase pump -> decrease K secretion in distal nephron -> decrease renal excretion K -> hyperkalemia
38
in vitro hemolysis causes a pseudohyperkalemia in what species
- horses - cattle - Akita - Shibas
39
marked thrombocytosis causes
- pseudohyperkalemia
40
- alkalemia due to metabolic alkalosis (vomiting) - anorexia (prolonged) - K loss disorders - shift into cells (insulin stimulated) cause increase or decrease of K
- decrease
41
K loss disorders (3)
- increase renal excretion - increase intestinal loss - cutaneous loss (equine sweat)
42
when acidotic state is fixed, hypokalemia develops in a patient suffering from
- diabetes mellitus
43
anion gap major purpose is to detect
- increase [A] (metabolic acidosis)
44
diseases that can cause an increase anion gap (metabolic acidosis)
- lactic acidosis - ketoacidosis - renal failure (ethylene glycol)
45
osmolality - concentration of solutes per ___
- kg H2O
46
osmalarity - concentration of solutes per __
- L of solution
