  2. Hyperkalemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperkalemia

    Hyperkalemia is an elevated level of potassium (K +) in the blood. [1] Normal potassium levels are between 3.5 and 5.0 mmol/L (3.5 and 5.0 mEq/L) with levels above 5.5 mmol/L defined as hyperkalemia. [3] [4] Typically hyperkalemia does not cause symptoms. [1] Occasionally when severe it can cause palpitations, muscle pain, muscle weakness, or ...

  3. Osmol gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmol_gap

    The osmol gap is typically calculated with the following formula (all values in mmol/L): = = ([+] + [] + []) In non-SI laboratory units: Calculated osmolality = 2 x [Na mmol/L] + [glucose mg/dL] / 18 + [BUN mg/dL] / 2.8 + [ethanol/3.7] [3] (note: the values 18 and 2.8 convert mg/dL into mmol/L; the molecular weight of ethanol is 46, but empiric data shows that it does not act as an ideal ...

  4. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    Potassium resides mainly inside the cells of the body, so its concentration in the blood can range anywhere from 3.5 mEq/L to 5 mEq/L. [14] The kidneys are responsible for excreting the majority of potassium from the body. [14] This means their function is crucial for maintaining a proper balance of potassium in the blood stream.

    Untreated high blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke. Quitting alcohol or drinking moderately may help keep your numbers where they need to be, according to the ...

  6. Plasma osmolality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_Osmolality

    Calculated osmolarity = 2 Na + Glucose + Urea (all in mmol/L) As Na+ is the major extracellular cation, the sum of osmolarity of all other anions can be assumed to be equal to natremia, hence [Na+]x2 ≈ [Na+] + [anions] To calculate plasma osmolality use the following equation (typical in the US): = 2[Na +

  7. Alcoholic ketoacidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_ketoacidosis

    People usually do not present with high blood sugar or sugar in the urine. [2] This can cause false negative results when testing urine ketones as they only measure acetoacetate. Ethanol level are often low or negative despite a chronic alcohol use history. [6] Electrolyte disturbances may include hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia may also be ...

    Excessive levels of alcohol consumption increase risk for six cancers, from head and neck, to stomach cancers, the report said. In the U.S., more than 5% of cancers were linked to alcohol ...

  9. Pharmacology of ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacology_of_ethanol

    Earlier studies found mean elimination rates of 15 mg/dL per hour for men and 18 mg/dL per hour for women, [6] [4] but Jones found 0.148 g/L/h and 0.156 g/L/h respectively. Although the difference between sexes is statistically significant, it is small compared to the overall uncertainty, so Jones recommends using the value 0.15 for the mean ...
