|
serum digoxin
Digoxin is used to treat congestive heart failure, usually in combination with a diuretic (water pill) and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It is also used to treat a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. Digoxin belongs to the class of medicines called digitalis glycosides. It is used to improve the strength and efficiency of the heart, or to control the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat. This leads to better blood circulation and reduced swelling of the hands and ankles in patients with heart problems |
normal values .5 to 2 ng/ml

|
BUN levels
|
Normal - 8 to 25 mg/dl

|
|
hypokalemia
3.5-5 |
critical < 2.5
Low K interesferes with repolarization of cells - muscles cannot fire Severe muscle cramps and pain Increased HR, confusion, tingling fingers and toes, lack of balance, rapid rr, shaking, weakness, flushing, tremors, dyphoreisis, |
|
hyperkalemia
|
critical < 6.5
a fib, increased excitability CNS dysfunction restlessness slow HR muscle cramping or weakness, diarrhea - too much movt in GI |
|
Causes of hyperkalemia
|
acidosis
dietary tissue trauma hypoaldoseronism DM beta blockers - block K channels intense exercise |
|
causes of hypokalemia
|
alkalosis
vomiting - fluid acid loss becomes basic unbalanced diet dieretics- high GFR rate doesnt have time to be reabsorbed renal loss hyperaldosteronism - na reabsorbed, lose k into filtrate |
