All About That Base
Of respiratory etiology, considered an acid within the balance.
What is CO2?
Dementia is ongoing damage to brain tissue, which most frequently occurs as a result of these two mechanisms.
What are amyloid plaques and tissue ischemia?
An increase in parathyroid secretion is associated with this electrolyte imbalance.
What is hypercalcemia?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is treated by encouraging small, frequent meals; avoiding meals close to bedtime, and this intervention.
What is...
-Medication (PPIs; H2 blockers)?
-Diet (low acidity foods)?
-Lifestyle (sitting up at least two hours after eating)?
Higher concentrations of sodium, chloride, protein, and this substance are likely to pull water in to dilute it.
What is glucose?
A patient experiencing a panic attack is likely to be hyperventilating, and therefore, subject to this.
What is respiratory alkalosis?
Because head injuries can disrupt neurons that secrete ADH (Vasopressin), this condition can result.
What is diabetes insipidus?
When a patient experiences hypothyroidism, the patient's body temperature is likely to do this.
What is decrease?
The inability for the body to tolerate certain food products, such as lactose or gluten, can lead to this consequence in the small intestine.
What is malabsorption?
This type of pressure is designed "push" fluid out from a space.
What is hydrostatic pressure?
Lactic acid and ketones will neutralize the following substance, thus leaving fewer circulating in free form.
What is bicarbonate?
In the "fast" pathway of the stress response, this system is activated, which releases a neruotransmitter known as norepinephrine.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
This process is meant to regulate the upstream secretion of pre-cursor hormones that direct the production of hormones for the target organ.
What is negative feedback?
Inflammatory bowel disease that is limited to the colon, and treated by total colectomy.
What is ulcerative colitis?
Significant cellular death is most likely to result in this type of electrolyte abnormality.
What is hyperkalemia?
A patient with excess ketones in the blood is no breathing deeply and rapidly. When their pH is obtained it is normal. This process is bringing the pH back into an acceptable range.
What is compensation?
In the "slow" pathway of the stress response, glucocorticoids and aldosterone. Which help to regulate these two substances.
What are sugar and salt?
The target tissues for this hormone include muscle, which is meant to increase body mass.
What is growth hormone?
This disease can present with "skip" lesions along any portion of the GI tract. It can also manifest with systemic autoimmune symptoms that involve the joints and eyes.
What is Crohn's disease?
Excessive ADH secretion results in this type of electrolyte derangement.
A state of acidosis means that this is more available to unload at the tissues.
What is oxygen?
Endocrine dysfunction that originates in the hypothalamus or pituitary is an example of this type of endocrine disorder.
What is secondary?
Metabolic syndrome is a pre-cursor to type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and may be exacerbated by this comorbidity.
What is obesity?
Pancreatitis is commonly caused by gallstones and chronic use of this.
What is alcohol?
Problems with chloride channels in cystic fibrosis mean the mucus in the lungs is likely of this consistency.
What is thick?
