Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 30RQ
One of the debates in fluid therapy for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is whether to administer bicarbonate (bicarb). Although it is generally accepted that bicarb should be given if the patient’s blood pH is <7.1 (life-threatening), most authorities do not give bicarb otherwise. One reason for not administering bicarb relates to the oxygen-binding capacity of hemoglobin. In DKA, patients have low levels of 2,3-BPG [p. 573]. When acidosis is corrected rapidly, 2,3-BPG is much slower to recover and may take 24 or more hours to return to normal.
Draw and label a graph of the normal oxygen-dissociation curve [p. 573]. Briefly explain and draw lines on the same graph to show:
- (a) what happens to oxygen release during DKA as a result of acidosis and low 2,3-BPG levels.
- (b) what happens to oxygen release when the
metabolic acidosis is rapidly corrected with bicarbonate.

Discuss the metabolic changes that take place in aspirin. How can it cause methemoglobenemia?
Kindly mention the indications for clopidogrel in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Should it be used along with aspirin or alone if the latter is contraindicated? Are there any studies that combine both with either low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin? How long should clopidogrel be continued?
Elevated blood plasma levels of alkaline phosphatase (hyperphosphatasaemia) are an indication of a number of pathologies. Briefly comment on the use of alkaline phosphatase assays as a diagnostic aid for a single common medical condition. (word limit 120 words including citations and references.
