13. • Sensory system appeared intact
• No nystagmus or diplopia

14. 45 year old normotensive, non diabetic male
admitted with acute onset of progressive
quadriparesis of 12 hours duration with no similar
episodes in the past. On examination, he was
conscious, oriented and hemodynamically stable.
He had bilateral weakness of upper and lower
limbs with predominant involvement of proximal
group of muscles with depressed reflexes. His
sensory system was uninvolved.
26. What is TTKG ?
What does it assess?
What are the prerequisites?
27. TTKG is the ratio of potassium concentration in the
lumen of CCD to that in peritubular capillaries.
Asseses the net driving force of potassium excretion
Urine osmolarity should exceed that of plasma
osmolarity inorder to calculate an interpretable TTKG
28. TTKG = Uk x Posm
Sk x Uosm
During hypokalemia -TTKG should fall <3 -
indicating appropriately reduced urinary excretion
of K
TTKG > 4 – indicates renal K loss is due to
increased distal K secretion
TTKG- 8.1 ( in our case)
30. urine potassium < 15 mEq/day
Metabolic acidosis
Acid base status
Normal acid base
• Profound sweating
• Prolonged decreased Intake
• Vomiting, NG suction Lower GI loss
31. urine potassium >15 mEq/day
Metabolic alkalosis Normal acid base Metabolic acidosis
Acid base status
•Post ATN/ post obstructive diuresis
•Osmotic diuresis
•Decreased magnesium ions
•High dose penicillin
•Polydipsia/ diabetes insipidus
•Type 1 RTA
•Type 2 RTA
•DKA
•Amphotericin B
•acetazolamide
34. URINE CHLORIDE – 516MEQ (> 20)
NEXT STEP MEASURE Urinary calcium/ creatinine
ratio
Urinary calcium /creatinine ratio =0.026 ( <0.15)
35. Potassium is being lost in the urine.
Primary aldosteronism is ruled out by normal blood
pressures.
ABG rules out renal tubular acidosis.
Diuretic abuse ruled out by history
37. AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE DISORDER
PRESENTS IN LATE CHILDHOOD OR
ADULTHOOD
HYPOKALEMIA
METABOLIC ALKALOSIS
HYPOMAGNESEMIA
HYPOCALCIURIA
NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE
CLINIACL MANIFESTATIONS LESS
PRONOUNCED IN HETEROZYGOTES
38. Cramps of arms and legs which may be severe due
to hypokalemia and hypomagnesimia
Fatigue
Polyuria and nocturia
Chondrocalcinosis related to chronic severe
hypomagnesemia
39. Mutations in the gene coding for the thiazide
sensitive Na-Cl co-transporter in distal tubule NCCT,
SLC12A3.
40. Life long treatment as tubular defect cannot be
corrected
Treatment aimed at minimising the effects of
secondary increase in renin and aldosterone
production
Correcting electrolyte abnormalities
Potassium sparing diuretics are better than
potassium suplementation.
Spiranolactone> amiloride
Potassium and magnesium supplementation
41.
42. Decreased intake: kidney can conserve to 5-25
mEq K+ daily; normal intake 40-120 daily.
Shift into cells:
Alkalosis
Insulin
Beta adrenergic stimuli
Stress
Beta agonists- e.g.: albuterol, ritodrine
43. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis- typically oriental
men with thyrotoxicosis; ? abnormal Ca++ channel;
? Increased Na/K ATPase activity.
Increased RBC uptake, e.g. after treatment with B12,
folate.
46. Loss of hydrogen ion increases plasma
bicarbonate.
Coexisting volume depletion increases
aldosterone secretion.
Increased delivery of bicarbonate to the distal
nephron obligates a cation. In the setting of
increased aldosterone levels, sodium is retained
and potassium excreted.
Potassium loss is most prominent early.
Actual losses in gastric juice are relatively small.
47. Diarrheal losses are usually accompanied by
metabolic acidosis
Villous adenoma
Laxative abuse
48. Nearly all potassium filtered at the glomerulus is
reabsorbed in the proximal nephron. Urinary
potassium is the result of distal potassium
secretion.
To excrete potassium, the kidney requires an
adequate number of nephrons, aldosterone, and
a circulation adequate to provide adequate distal
delivery of sodium for sodium/potassium
exchange.
49. Diuretics- activate the renin-angiotensin-
aldosterone cascade.
Primary aldosteronism/increased steroids.
Presentation of a non-resorbable anion distally,
obligating a cation, which will lead to increased
potassium excretion in the presence of
aldosterone.
Bicarbonate
Penicillin derivatives
Betahydroxybutyrate
50. Renal tubular acidosis
Proximal, especially with therapy
Some distal types
Type IV RTA patients are typically hyperkalemic
• Hypomagnesemia
• Polyuria
