Question
Answer
the hallmark of increased anion gap acidosis is that the metabolic acidosis (low HCO3-) is associated with ___ so that the anion gap increases   normal serum Cl-

in lactic acidosis, lactate levels are at least ___ mEq/L but commonly ___mEq/L   4-5, 10-30  
🗑
Type A lactic acidosis (the most common type) results from   poor tissue perfusion, cardiogenic, septic, or hemorrhagic shock, and carbon monoxide or cyanide poisoning  
🗑
Type B lactic acidosis may be due to metabolic causes such as   diabetes, ketoacidosis, liver disease, renal failure, infection, leukemia, or lymphoma  
🗑
____ is characterized by hyperglycemia and metabolic acidosis   diabetic ketoacidosis  
🗑
a common disorder of chronically malnourishe patients who consume large quantities of alcohol daily   alcoholic ketoacidosis  
🗑
accompanying ____ which inhibits pyruvate carboxylase, further enhances lactic acid production in many cases of alcoholic ketoacidosis   thiamine deficiency  
🗑
examples of toxins that can increase the anion gap by increasing enogenous acid production   methanol, ethylene glycol, and salicylates  
🗑
the hallmark for this disorder is that the low HCO3- of metabolic acidosis is associated with hyperchloremia so that the anion gap remains normal   normal anion gap acidosis  
🗑
massive diarrhea or pancreatic drainage can result in ___   HCO3- loss and normal anion gap acidosis  
🗑
hyperchloremic acidosis with a normal anion gap and normal GFR, and the absence of diarrhea defines   Renal Tubular Acidosis  
🗑
rapid dilution of plasma volume by ___ may cause a mild hyperchloremic acidosis   0.9% NaCl  
🗑
administration of large amounts of ___ may have deleterious effects, including hypernatremia, and hyperosmolality   HCO3-  
🗑
in alcoholic ketoacidosis ___ should be given to avoid the development of Wernicke encephalopathy   thiamine with glucose  
🗑
in ___ alkali therapy must be started unless blood pH has already been alkalinized by respiratory alkalosis   salicylate intoxication  
🗑
in methanol intoxication ___ has been used as a competitive substrate for alcohol dehydrogenase, which metabolizes methanol to formaldehyde   ethanol  
🗑
treatment of Renal Tubule Acidosis is mainly treated by administration of   alkali

diuretic used if volume and edema is not resolved with monotherapy   loop + thiazide  
🗑
diuretic to be used cautiously or not at all in renal patients   K-sparing (spironolactone)  
🗑
treatment is usually not necessary for   mild acidosis

if patient is ___ do not give glucose with insulin   hyperglycemic  
🗑
___ excretion decreases as GFR falls below 25 ml/min   phosphorous  
🗑
hyperphosphatemia can cause   vitamin D deficiency  
🗑
increase in serum phosphorous leads to a decrease in serum   calcium  
🗑
goal phosphorous __ mg/dl   2.5-5.5  
🗑
Non-absorbed cationic polymer used for treatment of high phosphorus   Sevelamer (RenagelĀ®)  
🗑
