Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Alkalosis

    a pathological condition that removes acid or adds base to the body fluids.
  • Alkalosis, Respiratory

    a state due to excess loss of carbon dioxide from the body. (dorland, 27th ed)
  • Hyperkalemia

    abnormally high potassium concentration in the blood, most often due to defective renal excretion. it is characterized clinically by electrocardiographic abnormalities (elevated t waves and depressed p waves, and eventually by atrial asystole). in severe cases, weakness and flaccid paralysis may occur. (dorland, 27th ed)
  • Pseudohypoaldosteronism

    a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by renal electrolyte transport dysfunctions. congenital forms are rare autosomal disorders characterized by neonatal hypertension, hyperkalemia, increased renin activity and aldosterone concentration. the type i features hyperkalemia with sodium wasting; type ii, hyperkalemia without sodium wasting. pseudohypoaldosteronism can be the result of a defective renal electrolyte transport protein or acquired after kidney transplantation.
  • Alkalosis

    an abnormally high alkalinity (low hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues.
  • Alkalosis, CTCAE|Alkalosis|Alkalosis

    a disorder characterized by abnormally high alkalinity (low hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues.
  • Bartter Syndrome, Type 1|BARTS1|Hyperprostaglandin E Syndrome 1|Hypokalemic Alkalosis with Hypercalciuria 1, Antenatal|Type 1 Bartter Syndrome

    an autosomal recessive subtype of bartter syndrome caused by mutation(s) in the slc12a1 gene, encoding solute carrier family 12 member 1.the onset occurs in the antenatal period, and may be characterized by polyhydramnios, premature birth, failure to thrive and mental retardation. clinical variability in the severity of symptoms exists and an essential feature of antenatal forms of bartter syndrome is marked hypercalciuria.
  • Bartter Syndrome|Bartter's Syndrome|Hypokalemic Alkalosis

    a rare inherited syndrome characterized by juxtaglomerular cell hyperplasia, hyperaldosteronism, hypokalemia, and alkalosis. patients have high levels of plasma renin concentration which is not associated with hypertension.
  • Grade 1 Alkalosis, CTCAE|Grade 1 Alkalosis

    ph >normal, but <=7.5
  • Grade 3 Alkalosis, CTCAE|Grade 3 Alkalosis

    ph >7.5
  • Grade 4 Alkalosis, CTCAE|Grade 4 Alkalosis

    life-threatening consequences
  • Grade 5 Alkalosis, CTCAE|Grade 5 Alkalosis

    death
  • Metabolic Alkalosis

    abnormally increased ph levels in the blood due to excessive loss of acid and/or accumulation of base.
  • Respiratory Alkalosis

    a condition in which the blood ph is greater than normal, secondary to impaired gas exchange.
  • WDHA Syndrome|Islet Cell WDHA Syndrome|Pancreatic Cholera|Pancreatic WDHA Syndrome|Verner Morrison Syndrome|WDHH|Watery Diarrhea Syndrome|Watery Diarrhea with Hypokalemic Alkalosis|Watery Diarrhea, Hypokalemia, and Achlorhydria Syndrome

    a rare syndrome characterized by severe watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, and achlorhydria. it is caused by the oversecretion of vasoactive intestinal peptide from the pancreatic islet cells.
  • Grade 1 Hyperkalemia, CTCAE|Grade 1 Hyperkalemia

    >uln-5.5 mmol/l
  • Grade 2 Hyperkalemia, CTCAE|Grade 2 Hyperkalemia

    >5.5-6.0 mmol/l; intervention initiated
  • Grade 3 Hyperkalemia, CTCAE|Grade 3 Hyperkalemia

    >6.0-7.0 mmol/l; hospitalization indicated
  • Grade 4 Hyperkalemia, CTCAE|Grade 4 Hyperkalemia

    >7.0 mmol/l; life-threatening consequences
  • Grade 5 Hyperkalemia, CTCAE|Grade 5 Hyperkalemia

    death
  • Hyperkalemia

    higher than normal levels of potassium in the circulating blood; associated with kidney failure or sometimes with the use of diuretic drugs.
  • Hyperkalemia, CTCAE|Hyperkalemia|Hyperkalemia

    a disorder characterized by laboratory test results that indicate an elevation in the concentration of potassium in the blood; associated with kidney failure or sometimes with the use of diuretic drugs.
  • Hyperkalemic Mineralocorticoid Resistance|Chloride Shunt Syndrome|Familial Hyperkalemic Hypertension|Gordon Hyperkalemia|Mineralocorticoid Resistant Hyperkalemia|PHA Type 2|Pseudohypoaldosteronism, Type II|Spitzer-Weinstein Syndrome

    a genetically heterogynous condition characterized by hyperkalemia, hyperchloremic acidosis, low or suppressed renin activity, and normal to high concentrations of aldosterone. mutations in genes (for example wnk1 or wnk4), regulating na-cl cotransporters (ncc), na-k-cl cotransporters (nkcc2), or the renal outer medullary potassium (romk) channel have been identified as causative in this condition. the primary abnormality is thought to be a specific defect of the renal secretory mechanism for potassium, which limits the kaliuretic response to, but not the sodium and chloride reabsorptive effect of, mineralocorticoid.

Patient Education


Metabolic Disorders

Metabolism is the process your body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat. Food is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Chemicals in your digestive system break the food parts down into sugars and acids, your body's fuel. Your body can use this fuel right away, or it can store the energy in your body tissues, such as your liver, muscles, and body fat.

A metabolic disorder occurs when abnormal chemical reactions in your body disrupt this process. When this happens, you might have too much of some substances or too little of other ones that you need to stay healthy. There are different groups of disorders. Some affect the breakdown of amino acids, carbohydrates, or lipids. Another group, mitochondrial diseases, affects the parts of the cells that produce the energy.

You can develop a metabolic disorder when some organs, such as your liver or pancreas, become diseased or do not function normally. Diabetes is an example.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
