The sequel of refeeding syndrome adversely affect nearly every organ system and include cardiac dysrhythmias, heart failure, acute respiratory failure, coma, paralysis, nephropathy, and liver dysfunction. The primary cause of the metabolic response to refeeding is the shift from stored body fat to carbohydrate as the primary fuel source. Serum insulin levels rise, causing intracellular movement of electrolytes for use in metabolism. The best advice when initiating nutritional support is to "start low and go slow". Recommendations to reduce the risk of refeeding syndrome
It has been proven that magnesium produces a complex with oxalate and lowers the CaOx output in the urine which then lessens the chances of forming kidney stones. Hypocalcemia- When the kidneys are having issues and develop kidney stones, this can cause more calcium to come out through urine which then lowers the calcium number in the body. This also makes it harder for the kidneys to activate any Vitamin D so when a patient is low on calcium a supplement is given to increase the numbers. Lack of calcium can also cause symptoms such as twitching and muscle aches. Hypercalcemia- When it comes to kidney stones, calcium has a lot to do with the formation of them.
G. The autonomic receptors that regulate closing of sphincters and relaxation of organ walls are Adrenergic (Alpha 1) receptors. H. The term polyneuropathy would be appropriate for the symptoms that Nick is experiencing because his problems are being caused by damage to more than one nerve. I. The symptoms noted by Nick’s PCP that indicated polyneuropathy included his inability to feel pressure or pain, his tingling in his feet, his decreased reflexes, and his dizziness and unsteadiness on his feet.

Here is what I had said for the Topamax and Mary’s headache 7. The Topamax is causing the acid-base disturbance and her respiratory system is attempting to compensate through hyperventilation to decrease H+ and bring her pH up. The H+ however is increasing because the Topamax is causing the renal carbonic anhydrase to redirect HCO3- out of the body and retain H+. 8. B: Ingestion of an acidifying drug in this case is to blame.
After Chloe’s gastric bypass, when she swallows it may cause Chloe stomach pain. This is due to the sequence of waves that contract and relaxes the pharyngeal muscles, down the esophagus and then into her stomach, which is sensitive because of the trauma caused by the gastric bypass. One of the positive outcomes of Chloe’s bypass is a reduction of acid reflux. The duodenum is where the majority of agitation of digestive enzymes normally happens and that gives the sphincter potential to release reflux.
Acid reflux can happen when the esophagus opens at the wrong time during digestion and the acid from the stomach hitting the esophagus causes a burning sensation. 2. Explain what happens in the large intestine to cause diarrhea or constipation. How does the function of the large intestine relate to another key resource? * When the large intestine doesn’t have enough water, it causes constipation.
You want your LDL to be high and HDL to be low ("High cholesterol Definition - Diseases and Conditions - Mayo Clinic," 2014). The test we perform to check cholesterol levels will measure triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, and LDL for a complete look at cholesterol ("Triglycerides: Why do they matter? - Mayo Clinic," 2012). Triglycerides are a type of fat or lipid that is found in your blood and can up your risk of heart disease. When you eat, your body automatically turns any calories it doesn’t currently need into triglycerides and stores it in your fat cells to use for energy in between meals.

In addition, having this type of anemia causes the red blood cells (RBCs) to become hard and pointed. Since hemoglobin (found inside RBCs) normally carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, anemia leads to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in organs. As a result, the RBCs function abnormally causing small blood clots, and can get stuck in the blood vessels. When this occurs, circulation in the blood
The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with blood rich in oxygen. The build-up of plaque narrows the coronary artery and blocks the blood supply to the heart muscle. When the blood flow decreases it causes a chest pain called angina and when the blood flow is completely cut off, it causes a heart attack.11(Ref: National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute).The most common risk factors include: smoking, diabetes, hypertension, physical inactivity, obesity and high cholesterol. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the high pressure of blood against artery walls which can lead to serious health conditions such as CHD10 (Ref:Mayo Clinic Staff). Smoking narrows and causes blood clots in the arteries2 (Ref:Beckerman,J).
