    Study Notes

    Acid-Base Imbalances

    • Respiratory Acidosis (Fully Compensated): pH value typically near normal range (7.35-7.45).
    • Metabolic Alkalosis (Partially Compensated): pH value above normal (greater than 7.45) but not fully compensated.
    • Metabolic Alkalosis (Fully Compensated): pH value usually remains within normal range but may demonstrate bicarbonate retention.

    Potassium (K+)

    • Normal Range: 3.5-5.0 mEq/L.
    • Function: Crucial for muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and maintaining fluid balance.
    • Hypokalemia: Symptoms include muscle weakness, cramping, fatigue, and arrhythmias. Priority risk involves life-threatening cardiac disturbances.
    • Hyperkalemia: Symptoms include muscle weakness, fatigue, palpitations, and ECG changes.

    Sodium (Na+)

    • Function: Vital for fluid balance, nerve impulse transmission, and muscle function.
    • Hypernatremia: Symptoms include thirst, confusion, muscle twitching, and seizures.

    Chloride (Cl)

    • Function: Works with sodium to maintain osmotic pressure and acid-base balance.
    • Hypochloremia: Symptoms may include muscle spasms and metabolic alkalosis.

    Magnesium (Mg)

    • Function: Important for enzyme activity, muscular function, and the synthesis of DNA and proteins.
    • Hypomagnesemia: Symptoms include muscle weakness, tremors, and seizures.
    • Hypermagnesemia: Symptoms may include hypotension, slowed reflexes, and respiratory distress.

    Calcium (Ca)

    • Function: Essential for bone structure, coagulation, and intracellular signaling.
    • Hypocalcemia: Causes include vitamin D deficiency, kidney dysfunction, and hypoparathyroidism. Symptoms include muscle cramps, tingling, and cardiac issues.
    • Hypercalcemia: Causes may include hyperparathyroidism and malignancies. Symptoms often include nausea, vomiting, weakness, and confusion.

    Phosphate (PO4)

    • Function: Crucial for energy production (ATP), bone mineralization, and cell membrane integrity.
    • Hyperphosphatemia: Often caused by kidney failure, may lead to calcification of tissues.

    Note on Key Manifestations

    • Hypokalemia: Muscle weakness, fatigue, arrhythmias; priority risk includes cardiac disturbances.
    • Hyperkalemia: Similar manifestations; can also lead to life-threatening arrhythmias.
    • Hypernatremia: Thirst, confusion, seizures.
    • Hypomagnesemia: Muscle cramps, tremors; can exacerbate hypokalemia.
    • Hypercalcemia: Nausea, weakness, arrhythmias; risk for hypercalcemic crisis.

    Summary on Causes

    • Causes of Hypokalemia: Diuretics, vomiting, diarrhea, adrenal disorders.
    • Causes of Hyperkalemia: Kidney dysfunction, excessive potassium intake, or metabolic acidosis.
    • Causes of Hypocalcemia: Hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, chronic kidney disease.
    • Causes of Hypercalcemia: Hyperparathyroidism, cancer, prolonged immobilization.
