Question
Answer
Metabolic alkalosis: Tx: Chloride-responsive:   correct ECF volume deficit with isotonic saline; d/c diuretics; add H2 blocker or PPI; IV acetazolamide if CV or pulmo dz  
🗑
Metabolic alkalosis: Tx: Chloride-resistant:   surgical resection of mineralcorticoid-producing tumor (?adrenal adenoma); ACEI or spironolactone to block aldosterone effect  
🗑
Metab acidosis Tx   IV bicarb if pH<7.1 and hemo unstable; tx underlying disorder  
🗑
Glomerulonephritis Tx   cyclophosphamide & prednisone for inflammatory response (less nec in PSGN); salt/fluid restriction; HD if azotemia; ACEI  
🗑
CKD tx   ACEI, ARB; ctrl comorbids (LDL <100, A1c <7.5, BP <130/80); EPO/Fe prn  
🗑
nephrotic syndrome tx   ACEI, judicious diuretics, Na/fluid restriction; aggressive infxn tx; anticoag prn  
🗑
renal stone tx: <5 mm:   fluids; strain urine for stone; analgesics prn; poss alpha or CCB  
🗑
renal stone tx: 5-10 mm:   fluids, analgesics; ESWL or ureteroscopy w/basket extraction  
🗑
renal stone tx: >10 mm:   inpt mgmt if unable to maintain oral intake; hydration; Gold Std: perc nephrostomy; or ureteral stent; ESWL or (>2 cm) perc lithotomy  
🗑
hypernatremia tx   Na >145; tx as inpt; Tx hypovolemia first (isotonic saline), hyponatremia second (oral free water or IV D5W)  
🗑
hypernatremia: if Na >200:   HD  
🗑
Hyponatremia tx   Tx hypovolemia as inpt; tx underlying cause (euvolemic/ hypervolemic: fluid restriction)  
🗑
Too rapid correction of hyponatremia can cause   central pontine myelinolysis => neuro damage  
🗑
severe hypovolemic hyponatremia (<120) tx   cautious use of hypertonic saline  
🗑
