Patient A is 65 years old female. She has been diagnosed with diabetes Type II. Recently she experienced a gastrointestinal illness with nausea and vomiting. Lab data have been obtained the following day after her illness: Body weight 85 kg; Blood pressure 140/90 mmHg; Blood pH – 7.48; PCO2 – 44 mm Hg; Plasma HCO3 ion -32 mEq/L; Urine pH – 7.5. What is acid-base disorder of this patient. What was a main cause of this? The illness continues and after 2 days the following laboratory data have been obtained: Body weight 83 kg; Blood pressure 120/70 mmHg; Blood pH – 7.50; PCO2 – 48 mm Hg; Plasma HCO3 ion -36 mEq/L; Urine pH – 6.0. Has acid-base disbalance been changed? If yes, what is the explanation for this acid-base disbalance? Is there any compensation?

An 80-year old woman was admitted for nausea, headache, and psychosis for 2 days: Past medical history includes hypertension, and her physician increased hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), from 12.5 to 25 mg daily. The patient was drinking water more than usual. Her BP was 120/70 mmHg and pulse rate of 80 beats/min. There were no orthostatic BP and pulse changes. Serum chemistry: Na* 112 mEq/L, K* 3.2 mEq/L, CI- 90 mEq/L, and glucose 90 mg/dL. The urine osmolality is 220 mOsm/kg H,O. She weighs 70 kg. Which one of the following statements regarding her hyponatremia is CORRECT? A. Furosemide rather than HCTZ is a frequent cause of hyponatremia. B. HCTZ impairs urine concentrating capacity C. Electrolyte-free H,O clearance decreases with HCTZ D. Electrolyte-free H,O clearance increases with HCTZ E. None of the above
