Electrolytes
I am the most common ANION in your ECF
What is SODIUM
I am the expected increase of potassium for every 10mEq given
What is 0.1mEq/L?
I represent the concentration of all the particles dissolved in body fluid
What is Osmolality?
I happen with absolute or relative lack of ADH
What is Diabetes Insipidus?
During a vasopressin test, I am the response you'd expect to see in nephrogenic DI
What is sustained polyuria and no change is urine osmolality?
Major intracellular electrolyte
What is POTASSIUM
I am the shape of EKG changes in HYPERkalemia
I am an important factor in understanding HYPERnatremia and even have my own equation
What is deficit of total body water (TBW)?
I am the characteristic urine pattern in DI
What is Polyuria, generally >300 mL.hour?
I am the standard treatment for nephrogenic DI
What is administration of NSAIDs/Thiazide diuretic
I am low sodium that is documented as occurring <48h
What is acute hyponatremia
I'm the structure that freely filters potassium from the blood
What is the glomerlus?
I am the reason why rapid overcorrection of hyponatremia is so dangerous
What is osmotic demyelination?
I am to GOLD STANDARD test for DI
What is the water deprivation test?
I am the method for safe fluid resuscitation in water imbalances
What is calculation of Free Water Deficit with replacement over 48h?
I regulate the calcium and I do it in this fashion
What is the parathyroid through a negative feedback loop?
I am the shape of EKG changes associated with HYPOkalemia
What are flattened T Waves?
I am the recommended rate of correcting low sodium
What is 0.5mEq/h or 8-10 mEq/24h?
You will choose me to correct severe, symptomatic hyponatremia and you'll watch your sodium levels in this fashion
What is 3%NS administration with Q1-2h serum sodium monitoring
What is an increase in urine osmolality
During these electrolyte changes you will see INCREASED neuromuscular activity
What is hypomagnesemia and hyperphosphatemia?
What is extracellular to intracellular shift of Potassium?
I am the class of drugs to treat hyponatremia
What are vasopressin receptor antagonists like tolvaptan?
I am inappropriate free water retention resulting in dilatational hyponatremia
What is SIADH
I am the goal sodium for correction of hyponatermia and the reason why
What is 120-130 and to avoid overcorrection and risk of osmotic demyelination?
