Solubility:
Water Soluble: Has a Cell Membrane Destination Is affected by total charge and pH of environment Affected by membrane thickness and surface area Affected by flux and reflection coefficient Is excreted by the Renal System (short drug half-life)
Fat Soluble: Goes right through the cell membrane Usually has a nuclear membrane destination Has a large volume of distribution Is metabolized by the liver (long drug half-life) Is usually hepatotoxic Will affect the brain Membrane diffusion is limited only by a concentration gradient
Likeness to Depolarize:
This concept shows you how to predict what the side effects of any electrolyte state would be. For example, hypocalcemia is more likely to depolarize. Thus, they have an overall body state that can be described by the symptoms below. More Likely to Depolarize: Hypocalcemia, Hypomagnesemia, Early Hypernatremia, and Early Hyperkalemia [Opposite of Low Energy State] Brain: Psychosis, Seizures, Jitteriness, Insomnia Skeletal Muscle: spasms, tetany, cramps GI: Diarrhea, then constipation (smooth muscle needs Ca2+ for 2nd messenger system) Cardiac: Tachycardia, arrhythmias
Less Likely to Depolarize: Hypercalcemia, Hypermagnesemia, Early Hyponatremia, and Early Hypokalemia [Think Low Energy State] Brain: Lethargy, mental status changes, depression, delirium, sedation, coma Skeletal Muscle: Weakness, Shortness of breath GI: Constipation, then diarrhea (Na+ to depolarize, the Ca2+-Calmodulin as 2nd messenger system) Cardiac: Hypotension, Bradycardia
6. The kidney will end up reabsorbing an excess of water in the process. Low Volume States with Acidosis: Diarrhea due to loss of bicarbonate in the small bowel Renal Tubular Acidosis Type 2 due to loss of bicarbonate from the kidney Diabetic Ketoacidosis due to the excess of ketones

iii. Elderly: Sick Sinus Syndrome iv. Parkinsons: Shy-Dragger Syndrome Intermediate response is due to the Medulla a. The nucleus tractus solitarius signals the release of norepinephrine. b. The norepinephrine release has a higher affinity for alpha receptors. c. The vessels vasoconstrict d. This leads to Increased Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Long-Term response is due to the Kidney a. The norepinephrine release also vasoconstricts the renal blood supply. b. The JG-apparatus in the afferent arteriole of the kidney responds to flow and volume. c. The low RBF signals the JG-apparatus to release renin which leads to i. High Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR) ii. Increase Sodium Reabsorption iii. Increase Potassium Excretion leading to alkalosis iv. Increase water reabsorption leads to a dilutional decrease in serum sodium, chloride, and potassium. d. Physiological response to fixing the pressure: JG-apparatus releases renin Liver (angiotensinogen) AT-I Lungs (ACE) AT-II (very potent vasoconstrictor) to the efferent more than afferent arterioles in order to re-establish GFR Increase TPR Increase Blood Pressure. e. Physiological response to fixing the volume: AT-II Aldosterone Na+/K+ pumps in kidney DCT Increase Na+ reabsorption Increase total body water Drags in 3 molecules of water with each molecule of Na+ Decreases serum Na+ serum K+ decreases (secretion) Aldosterone also secretes H+ Increases pH.

ii. FeNa+ is greater than 10% iii. Urine Na+ is greater than 10 Post-Renal a. This means that there is an obstruction somewhere after the collecting ducts. b. The patient usually presents with anuria rather than oliguria. c. There is also a weak urinary stream, dribbling, urgency after urinating and sometimes, overflow incontinence.
Renal Pattern:
Nephritic Syndrome: Essentially, this means that the fenestrations are larger than they should be, but the basement membrane negative charge is still intact. Every vasculitis will lead to a nephritic pattern. Characteristics: 1. Hematuria (brown urine) 2. Hypertension 3. Oliguria 4. Edema and Generalized Fluid Retention Nephrotic Syndrome: Essentially, this means that the basement membrane negative charge has been impaired by the deposition of something. This is the reason why albumin leaks out freely (loss of proteins > 3.5 grams/24 hours) leading to Hypoalbuminemia (Less than 30 grams/dL). This will then lead to edema and frothy urine. This then prompts the liver to try to compensate for the loss of proteins by making lipoproteins (which lead to hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia) as well as clotting factors (leading to a hypercoagulable state). There can either be intravascular volume depletion with hypotension or intravascular volume expansion with hypertension, depending on the stage of the pathology.
5. Day 7: Macrophages and T-Cells peak, then Fibroblasts show up 6. Day 30: Fibroblasts Peak 7. Month 3-6: Fibroblasts leave and Fibrosis is complete.
The Bad Guys: o Virus (CMV, EBV is most common) o Fungi o Mycobacterium o Protozoa kills you o Parasite o Neoplasm
Vasculitis:
We all know that -it is means there is an inflammatory process, right? So the white blood cell (WBC) count is going to be high. However, this is not a bacterial process which means it has to be cell-mediated, which will have high levels of T-Cells and Macrophages. Now, these cells are going to be ripping red blood cells (RBC) and platelets, and you will see schistocytes in the peripheral blood smear. Now you know the CBC for every vasculitis: 1. Increased WBC count due to inflammation 2. Increased T-Cells and Macrophages since it is cell-mediated inflammation 3. Decreased RBC and Platelet count due to destruction 4. Increased Eosinophil count for Collagen Vascular Diseases Just to tie this in You have a vasculitis, and your RBC is low. What do you need RBC for? You need it for oxygen. What do you need oxygen for? You need it for making energy. So what state are we in when there is a vasculitis? You are in the Low Energy State and you know what happens in that! Pulmonary and Cardiac Manifestations: Hypoxia constricts the pulmonary vessels Increased Resistance and Pressure Pulmonary Hypertension Narrowing of S2 Increase of the S2 Intensity Right Ventricular Hypertrophy an S4 increases on Inspiration Then an Increase in Central Venous Pressure (CVP). Renal Manifestations: Recall that all vasculitides lead to a Nephritic Syndrome Pattern. When a blood vessel tears CLOT FORMATION Decrease radius of the vessel Increased Resistance Increased Blood Pressure. Also recall that Decreased Flow to the Kidney is Ischemia. Here are the seven patterns in the kidney for vasculitis: A partial clot in the renal artery Renal Artery Stenosis Complete clot in the renal artery Renal Failure An inflamed glomerulus Glomerular-Nephritis 9
Complete clot of the renal medulla Interstitial Nephritis Complete clot of the renal papilla Papillary Necrosis A partial clot of the renal nephron Focal Segmental Glomerulus Nephritis Complete clot of the renal nephron Rapid Progressive Glomerulo-Nephritis
