Study Notes
Hyperkalemia i hipokalemia - podstawy
- Hipokalemia to stan, gdzie poziom potasu we krwi jest niższy niż 3,5 mEq/L
- W organizmie ludzkim większość potasu (około 98%) znajduje się wewnątrz komórek
- Stężenie potasu wewnątrz komórki wynosi około 150 mEq/L, a na zewnątrz komórki tylko 4,5 mEq/L
- Różnica stężeń potasu między wnętrzem i zewnątrzem komórki tworzy gradient elektrochemiczny
Różnice w stężeniu potasu
- Stężenie potasu we krwi: 4,5 mEq/L
- Stężenie potasu wewnątrz komórki: 150 mEq/L
Wewnętrzny równowaga potasu
- Utrzymywany przez pompę sodowo-potasową, która pompuje 2 jony potasu do komórki za każde 3 jony sodu na zewnątrz
- Równowaga potasu jest ważna dla utrzymania potencjału spoczynkowego błony komórkowej
Zewnętrzny równowaga potasu
- Uzyskiwany z diety: 50-150 mEq/L dziennie
- Większość potasu jest wydalana przez nerki do moczu
- Nerki regulują ilość potasu we krwi przez filtrację, reabsorpcję i sekrecję w nefronie
Przyczyny hipokalemii
- Zewnętrzna nierównowaga potasu:
- Nadmierna wydzielina potasu przez nerki
- Niewystarczająca ilość potasu w diecie
- Wewnętrzna nierównowaga potasu:
- Insulina powoduje przeniesienie potasu do komórki
- Zmiana pH krwi (alkaloza) powoduje wymianę jonów wodorowych na jony potasu
Objawy hipokalemii
- Osłabienie mięśni szkieletowych
- Skurcze mięśni
- Problemy z oddychaniem
- Arrythmia serca
- Zatrzymania akcji serca### Zmiany w równowadze potasu w organizmie
- Najpierw potas jest swobodnie filtrowany z krwi do moczu w kłębuszku nerkowym
- Następnie około 67% jest wchłaniane w zwoju spiralnym kanalika proksymalnego, a dodatkowe 20% w zwoju thick ascending limb
- Pozostałe 13% wchłaniania lub wydzielania potasu w kanaliku dalszym i kolektorycznym zależy od potrzeb organizmu
- Reabsorpcja w tej strefie jest prowadzona przez α-interkalowane komórki, a wydzielanie przez główne komórki
- Hormonem regulującym reabsorpcję lub wydzielanie potasu w nerkach jest aldosteron
Hipokaliemia
- Przyczyny hipokaliemii:
- Niedostateczna podaż potasu
- Zwiększony napływ potasu do komórek
- Utrata potasu przez nerki
- Skutki hipokaliemii:
- Osłabienie mięśni szkieletowych
- Zaparcie
- Depresja oddechowa
- Arytmie sercowe
Nadmiar potasu w organizmie
-
Przyczyny hiperkaliemii:
- Zewnętrzna zmiana równowagi potasu
- Wewnętrzna zmiana równowagi potasu
-
Zewnętrzna zmiana równowagi potasu:
- Zmniejszenie wydalania potasu przez nerki
- Zwiększone wchłanianie potasu z pożywienia
-
Wewnętrzna zmiana równowagi potasu:
- Insulinooporność
- Kwasica
- Catecholaminy
- Hyperosmolarność
- Liza komórek
- Aktywność fizyczna
-
Skutki hiperkaliemii:
- Osłabienie mięśni szkieletowych
- Zaparcie
- Arytmie sercowe
- Zatrzymanie krążenia### Upośledzenie wydalania K+ przez nerki
-
Upośledzenie wydalania K+ przez nerki organiczne AKI lub PChN prowadzi do hiperkaliemii
-
Najczęściej spotykane, gdy GFR < 15 ml/min/1,73m2
-
Hiperkaliemia rzadko spotykana, chyba że występuje oliguria, podaż K+, rozpad tkanek, spadek aldosteronu
-
CKD > 900 G/l, leukocytoza > 70 G/l, hemoliza
Objawy hiperkaliemii
- Pojawiają się, gdy K+ > 7 mmol/l
- Zmniejszony stosunek ICF/ECF
- Upośledzone wyładowania nerwowe
- Osłabienie, parestezje, apatia
- Porażenie wiotkie, podobne do zespołu Guillain-Barré
- Zmiany EKG
Zmiany EKG
- Wzrost K+ średniego stopnia powoduje częściową depolaryzację
- Wzrost potencjału spoczynkowego do granicy z potencjałem czynnościowym
- Łatwa aktywowalność szybkich kanałów sodowych Nav1,5
- Wzrost pobudliwości oraz prędkości przewodzenia
- Przedwczesna repolaryzacja
Fizjologia wody
- Prawo elektroobojętności płynów ustrojowych (prawo Gamble’a)
- Prawo izoosmolarności
- Prawo izojonów
- Prawo izohydrii
- Osmolity efektywne: glukoza, Na+
- Osmolity nieefektywne: etanol, mocznik
Odwodnienie izotoniczne
- Etiopatogeneza: utrata izotonicznych płynów
- Przyczyny:
- Utrata płynów przez PP (biegunka, wymioty, utrata soku żołądkowego)
- Przetoki jelitowe
- Niedrożność porażenna jelit
- Odsysanie żołądka
- Skutki:
- Utrata płynów izotonicznych, bogatych w białko i elektrolity
- Utrata komórek morfotycznych
- Utrata płynów z równoczesną utratą elektrolitów
