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.

- John Smith joined a Triathlon for a cause. The triathlon consisted of a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run. He was so focused on winning the race. With 6 km left in the run, he felt very weak and light-headed and eventuallly collapsed. He was breathing so fast and was profusely sweating. The Emergency Medical Service on standby rushed to give him medical aid. a.) Discuss the role of electrolytes in this case. b.) What imbalances (Hypernatremia vs. Hyponatremia; Hyperkalemia vs. Hypokalemia) led to his condition? Justify.arrow_forwardA nurse practitioner orders an isotonic sodium lactate solution with a 50. mL solution per kg body mass to be administered intravenously for a 225-lb patient with severe acidosis.

- Yasuo Yamagata, a 63-year-old, experienced severe back pain for several weeks before visiting his family physician. He also complained of fatigue and looked pale. Blood analysis revealed a red blood cell count of 3.2 × 106/μl (normal 4.2–5.0 × 106/μl), a white blood cell count of 2800/μl (normal 5000/μl), a sedimentation rate of 30 mm/h (normal <20 mm/h) and a serum IgG of 4500 mg/dl (normal 600–1500 mg/dl). IgA and IgM levels were well below normal. Skeletal survey showed lytic lesions in vertebrae, ribs and skull. A bone marrow sample revealed 75% infiltration with plasma cells. Elevated protein in urine was confirmed to be Bence-Jones protein (immunoglobulin light chains). The patient was diagnosed with IgG λ multiple myeloma and began an immediate chemotherapy regime. Which of the following would be consistent with this type of malignant tumor of plasma cells? a. Serum IgG is polyclonal. b.
