Flashcards
Fluid Imbalance Types
Fluid Imbalance Types
Fluid imbalances occur when there's too little or too much fluid in the body. Types include hypovolemia (low volume), hypervolemia (high volume), and imbalances in electrolytes like sodium and potassium.
Hyperkalemia Treatment
Hyperkalemia Treatment
Treatment for high potassium (hyperkalemia) focuses on rapidly lowering potassium levels. This often involves medications and possibly dialysis.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Labs
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Labs
Kidney function is measured through labs like creatinine & BUN. In CKD these labs get progressively elevated as kidney function worsens.
