Blood Chemistries Terms
16
sodium:the major extracellular cation, water follows this
potassium:the major intracellular cation, difficult to manage when one has kidney disease
bicarbonate:an important buffer, use to assess acid-base status
polydipsia:always thirsty
polyphasia:always hungry
polyuria:bathroom frequently
calcium:major cation, required for muscle contraction and bone mass
phosphorous:major cation, kreb'cycle co-factor, important bone mineral
chloride:increases with sodium
azotemia:abnormally high levels of nitrogen containing compounds in the blood, such as urea, creatinine. It is largely related to insufficient filling of blood in the kidney
hemoconcentration:decrease of the fluid content of blood, with increased concentration of serum elementshemodilution:increase in fluid content of blood, resulting in lowered concentration of serum elements
magnesium:major cation, important relationship with potassium
ketones:without insulin, cells produce these
prerenal: type of azotemia caused by reduce blood flow to the kidney, waste products stay in blood
postrenal:caused by reduced urine outflow from the kidney, can be caused by kidney stones
anion gap:estimates unmeasured anions in the blood
gap acidosis:an anion gap >12mEq can lead to this
creatinine: clearance of this substance is used in the Cockcroft-Gault formula
