36 yo male undergoes knee surgery to repair torn
ligaments. Postop, he is prescribed APAP for pain.
One day later he reports worsening pain. Exam
reveals BP 120/75, HR 80/min, RR 14/min and temp
98.6F. He has severe pain at the knee but no
redness or signs of infection.

– Na: 128meq/L K: 4.0meq/L
– Cl: 95mg/dl Bicarb: 25mg/dl
– BUN: 12mg/dl Cr 1.0mg/dl

33yo male is brought for medical
attention after completing a marathon.
Upon finishing, he was disoriented and
light-headed. His normal weight is
60kg. Exam reveals a body temp of
38.3, BP 85/60mmHg and HR 125/min.
Neck veins are flat, skin turgor is poor.
Serum Na is 175meq/L. What is the
free H20 deficit?
Harrison’s VIII-21
Free H20 deficit:
Pathophysiology:
– Showers of cholesterol emboli what can cause
“stepwise progression” of renal failure
Characterized by:
– Pyuria
– Progressive RF (nonoliguric)
– Hypocomplementemia
– Eosinophiluria
– Associated organ dysfunction
Harrison’s: VIII-9
In the ED, a male patient presents with right flank pain
without radiation during micturition and intermittent polyuria
with other periods of decreased urine output. Denies having
dysuria, hematuria, and fever. Denies any PMHx, and ROS
is negative.
Exam shows VSS, and normal abdominal exam except for
mild costophrenic angle tenderness on the right. Rectal
exam shows no tenderness, and there is a normal prostate
examination. No edema is note to the lower extremities. UA
is bland without pyuria, bacteria, or casts. Serum BUN/Cr
50/2.0mg/dl. Renal U/S shows bilateral hydronephrosis.

What is the diagnosis?
A) Acute cystitis
B) Genitourinary TB

In the ED, a male patient presents with right flank pain without
radiation during micturition and intermittent polyuria with other
periods of decreased urine output. No dysuria, hematuria, and fever
reported. Denies any PMHx, and ROS is negative.
Exam shows VSS, and normal abdominal exam except for mild CVA
tenderness on the right. Rectal exam shows no tenderness, and there
is a normal prostate examination. No edema is note to the lower
extremities. UA is bland without pyuria, bacteria, or casts. Serum
BUN/Cr 50/2.0mg/dl. Renal U/S shows bilateral hydronephrosis.
Obstructive Uropathy
Pathophysiology:
– Azotemia= obstruction of outflow tracts of two normal kidneys or
one in the presence of bilateral renal disease.
– Anuria= complete obstruction
– Oliguria, frequency, polyuria, nocturia= partial obstruction
Labs:
– High BUN/Cr= decreased tubular flow and increased tubular
reabsorption of urea
– Urine indices and [Na] are not reliable
– Associated with Type IV RTA (hyperkalemia)
Remember:
– Polyuria may happen as a physiologic respone OR
– Postobstructive diuresis 2/2 Na & H20 retention and abnormal renal
tubular handling of Na & H20
MKSAP Nephrology: Q23
63 yo factory worker presents with
upper & lower extremity & diffuse
muscle weakness over the past 2 wks.
For the past 6 mos, he has had low
back pain that was sufficiently severe
to cause him to miss work several
occasions. Buffered salicylate tx
relieved the pain somewhat.

5 Rules
For
Acid-Base
AG = Na – Cl – HCO3 = UA – UC
normal = 10 (+/-2) UC: Ca++, Mg++
UA: albumin, PO4-, sulfates, other
measured Osm: what the lab detects from your blood sample
calculated Osm: 2(Na) + BUN/2.8 + Gluc/18 + EtOH/4.6
1. METABOLIC ACIDOSIS
HCO3 +15 = pCO2
Each fall in HCO3 by 10 mEq/L, the pCO2 should fall 12 mmHg
Winter’s: (HCO3)(1.5) + 8 +/- 2= pCO2
2. METABOLIC ALKALOSIS
Each rise in HCO3 by 10 mEq/L, the pCO2 should rise 6 mmHg
1. RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS
ACUTE: Each rise in pCO2 by 10 mmHg, HCO3 should rise 1mEq/L
CHRONIC: Each incr pCO2 by 10 mmHg, HCO3 should rise 4mEq/L
2. RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS
ACUTE: Each fall in pCO2 by 10 mmHg, HCO3 should fall 2 mEq/L
CHRONIC: Each fall in pCO2 by 10mmHg, HCO3 should fall 5 mEq/L
A) Proximal RTA
B) Salicylate toxicity- gap acidosis
C) ETOH-induced lactic acidosis- gap acidosis
D) Ethylene glycol toxicity- gap acidosis
