QuestionAnswer
osmolality concentration of particles of solute per kg of solvent (mOsm/kg)
osmolality estimate calculation 1.86(Na) + (Glucose/18) + (BUN/2.8) + 9
osmolal gap measured value - calculated value usually 5-10 mOsm/kg
main extracellular cation Sodium
main intracellular cation potassium
main extracellular anion chloride
main intracellular anion phosphorus
what promotes sodium reabsorption aldosterone
sodium reference range for serum and urine serum: 135-145 mEq/L urine: 40-220 mEq/L
potassium reference range for serum plasma and urine serum: 4-5 mEq/L plasma: 3.4-5.4 mEq/L urine: 25-125 mEq/L
increased glucose does what to potassium increases it (hyperkalemia)
hyperkalemia is associated with acidosis and addisons
what can falsely elevate chloride bromide
chloride moves passively with ____ or against _____ to ________________ Na; HCO; maintain neutral electrical charge
Chloride is no longer measured coulometrically due to mercury toxicitiy
