Full transcript
- 0:00it is raining here in japan and it's
- 0:02very [ __ ] loud outside
- 0:04so i apologize my mic is picking up the
- 0:07sound it's either
- 0:08make the clip or i don't have any
- 0:11productivity so i figured i would do
- 0:13this okay quite [ __ ] unusual
- 0:17this question as far as leading you from
- 0:21uh this presentation into the urinary
- 0:23findings this is on the on the nbme
- 0:25exams for step
- 0:26one so this is a tangible value point
- 0:29for you
- 0:31this three-year-old boy has a fracture
- 0:33of the
- 0:34right humerus and his sclera are normal
- 0:37when we have fractures in a kid
- 0:38obviously it can be accidental but we
- 0:41have to think about things such as child
- 0:42abuse
- 0:43osteogenesis imperfecta even
- 0:45osteopetrosis the sclera are normal
- 0:49implication being this is not
- 0:50osteogenesis and perfecta there's no
- 0:52information in the vignette as far as
- 0:54eye contact or avoidance or cigarette
- 0:57burns etc that could be reflective of
- 0:59child abuse it's just not one of those
- 1:01one of those types of questions so
- 1:06even though this vignette is rather
- 1:08vague to start
- 1:10you as the student when you're doing
- 1:12these questions
- 1:14it's as i just said when you have a
- 1:17pediatric case with fractures
- 1:19your instantaneous differentials should
- 1:21already be
- 1:23oi child abuse osteoporosis
- 1:27so this x-ray if you're thinking
- 1:31osteopetrosis
- 1:32this is showing us increased bone
- 1:34density if you don't know what
- 1:35osteopetrosis is
- 1:37relax i'll explain it in a second okay
- 1:40but this is showing us
- 1:41increased bone density with a fracture
- 1:43here okay
- 1:44now even if you don't know what the
- 1:46diagnosis is yet we keep reading
- 1:49the deficient enzyme responsible for
- 1:51this patient's condition you're like
- 1:52deficient enzyme what the
- 1:54[ __ ] like how does that relate to a
- 1:55fracture this is osteoporosis
- 1:58so osteoporosis also known as albers
- 2:02schoenberg syndrome is caused by a
- 2:05deficiency of
- 2:06carbonic anhydrase ii which is
- 2:10within osteoclasts of the bone as you
- 2:13know
- 2:13osteoclasts break down bone they do this
- 2:17so carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that
- 2:20catalyzes the conversion of co2 and
- 2:23water
- 2:24into carbonic acid h2co3 okay
- 2:27and there's many different isoforms
- 2:30there is one inside of osteoclasts
- 2:32that carbonic anhydrase ii will
- 2:36help catalyze the production of by of
- 2:39uh carbonic acid that will equi
- 2:42equilibrate into a bicarb and a proton
- 2:44the osteoclast will then concentrate
- 2:46those protons at the interface of the
- 2:49bone causing bone resorption
- 2:51okay so if we have a deficiency of
- 2:53carbonic anhydrase 2
- 2:54we get decreased osteoclast activity
- 2:58increased bone density despite the
- 3:01increased bone density
- 3:03there's weakening of the bone because
- 3:04it's not just the density that matters
- 3:06it's the architecture of the bone that's
- 3:08paramount for
- 3:10uh strength okay so
- 3:13your initial point is when you think of
- 3:16fractures for step one
- 3:18step two child abuse osteogenesis
- 3:21perfecta
- 3:22osteopatrosis you know that carbonic
- 3:24anhydrase is the deficient enzyme then
- 3:26you say well
- 3:27what kind of diuretic inhibits carbonic
- 3:29anhydrase that's easy
- 3:31acetazolamide okay then you say how is
- 3:34acetazolamide going to affect these
- 3:36urinary findings
- 3:37not serum findings urinary findings
- 3:41okay so this is this is important
- 3:43because students will overread
- 3:45or overlook that detail that we write
- 3:48urinary
- 3:49and the nbme does this as well i see a
- 3:51lot of students get this wrong because
- 3:52they're like oh [ __ ] i thought they
- 3:54meant serum
- 3:55not hard you just have to be careful
- 3:56okay so
- 3:59carbonic anhydrase is also within the
- 4:01proximal convoluted tubular
- 4:02cells kidney as i said we'll catalyze
- 4:06h2o and co2 into
- 4:08carbonic acid h2 co3 equilibrates into a
- 4:10proton and bicarb
- 4:11the kidney will then reabsorb that
- 4:14bicarb
- 4:15across the basolateral membrane and it
- 4:17will secrete the proton into the urine
- 4:19the urine becomes more concentra or
- 4:21more acidic if we give our carbonic
- 4:23anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide
- 4:25we're preventing the formation of
- 4:27carbonic acid within the pct
- 4:29cell and in turn we're preventing the
- 4:31reabsorption
- 4:32of bicarbonate so there's going to be
- 4:34more bicarbonate
- 4:36in the urine okay so it's a diuretic
- 4:39now classically used for altitude
- 4:41sickness because if we prevent the
- 4:43reabsorption of
- 4:44bicarbonate wouldn't we be making the
- 4:48serum more acidic we'd be inducing a
- 4:50metabolic acidosis
- 4:52so when you go to high altitude and you
- 4:54have increased respiratory rate
- 4:56because you're at lower oxygen tension
- 4:59at high altitude
- 5:00you're going to be blowing off your co2
- 5:02you get a respiratory alkalosis
- 5:04you give acetazolamide you can
- 5:06counteract that respiratory alkalosis
- 5:08with
- 5:09a metabolic acidosis okay because if you
- 5:11don't give acetozoamide your kidneys
- 5:13will take
- 5:14at least a day to adjust your bicarb
- 5:16whereas acetozolamide can do it pretty
- 5:18much instantly
- 5:18so the point of this question is if we
- 5:21give acetazolamide
- 5:23we are going to be increasing
- 5:25bicarbonate in the urine
- 5:27so we have an up arrow for urinary
- 5:29bicarbonate obviously that means
- 5:30increased ph
- 5:31of the urine as well and because we have
- 5:34a diuretic
- 5:35we are increasing or we're increasing
- 5:38uh urine urinary output
- 5:42i was going to say a diuresis which is
- 5:44just the medical word for uh urinary
- 5:46output
- 5:47but because we're inducing diuresis here
- 5:50we're going to have a decreased urinary
- 5:52osmolality okay that's what diuretics
- 5:53are doing we're decreasing solute
- 5:55concentration
- 5:56so even though we've got reabsorption of
- 5:59ions more distally in the kidney because
- 6:01we have
- 6:01more water to start with from the pct
- 6:04secondary to acetazolamide ultimately
- 6:08that net result is still going to be
- 6:10decreased urinary osmolality okay
- 6:12so we have up arrow bicarbonate up arrow
- 6:14ph decreased
- 6:16urinary osmolality and we'd have
- 6:17increased urinary volume
- 6:19okay as i said this isn't super
- 6:21complicated this is on the nbmes for
- 6:23step one so your short recapitulation
- 6:26here is that
- 6:27when you get a pediatric case when
- 6:29you're dealing with a fracture
- 6:30just remember child abuse osteogenesis
- 6:32imperfecta albers
- 6:34schoenberg syndrome okay three important
- 6:36high yield differentials
- 6:38and acetazolamide is going to be a
- 6:40carbon carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
- 6:43that will ultimately result in increased
- 6:45urinary ph
- 6:46with bicarbonate and a decreased
- 6:48osmolality all right as i've said
- 6:50not ultra complicated but we have to
- 6:53uh share high yield points with you
- 6:55because it's not about
- 6:56what we think is entertaining it's about
- 6:59what's actually going to give you some
- 7:00tangible value to bump you up a point or
- 7:02two on the
- 7:03uh nbme and usmla so that's it for this
- 7:07clip
- 7:08if you liked this subscribe to my
- 7:11channel
- 7:12and i appreciate your time that's it
