Acid-Base Disorders — Flashcards

The most important steps in working up a metabolic alkalosis are:- determining the patient's _____ for saline responsiveness- checking the urine chloride levels

Winters formula for simple metabolic acidosis states that:_____ = 1.5[HCO3-] + 8 +/- 2

In Type _____ RTA, high urinary pH promotes increased reabsorption of citrates at the PCT and increased excretion of Calcium

Type _____ RTA also presents with hypokalemia with metabolic acidosis

If the "lost" HCO3- in metabolic acidosis is replaced by _____, the anion gap is increased

The causes of _____ anion gap metabolic acidosis may be remembered with the mnemonic MUDPILES: M: methanol (formic acid)U: uremiaD: diabetic ketoacidosisP: propylene glycolI: iron tablets or isoniazidL: lactic acidosisE: ethylene glycol (-> oxalic acid)S: salicylates (late)

If the measured PCO2 _____ predicted PCO2 using Winters formula, then the metabolic acidosis has a concomitant respiratory acidosis

Half and half nails, also called Lindsay nails are specific for _____

_____ renal tubular acidosis is also known as type 1 RTA

_____ is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in Caucasian adults
