Summary
• Metabolic alkalosis with respiratory compensation
• Cause: GI losses 2/2 NGT drainage • AKI non oliguric
Whipple procedure
GI Tract
Metabolic Alkalosis
• Volume depletion: – secondary hyperaldosteronism leads to stimualtion
H-ATPase in collecting tubules and also stimulates ENac
• Hypokalemia: – Stimulates H-K ATPase pump
• Hypochloremia: – Type B intercalated cells H-ATPase on basolateral
rather than luminal membrane – NaK2Cl carrier in macula densa
