An investigator is studying the effects of a hormone in two groups of experimental animals. During a 2-hour period, Group X receives an infusion of 0.9% saline and Group Y receives an infusion of the hormone. The following findings are recorded: Group X Group Y Pulse 380/min 550/min Mean arterial blood pressure Serum 120 mm Hg 150 mm Hg Glucose 80 mg/dL 130 mg/dL Free fatty acids 3.5 JEq/L 7.5 JEq/L Plasma renin 2.5 ng/ml/h 18 ng/mL/h Group Y most likely received which of the following hormones? A) ADH (vasopressin) B ) Aldosterone C ) Cortisol D) Epinephrine E) Glucagon F) Growth hormone G) Thyroxine (T 4)

A 30-year-old female patient with uncontrolled hypertension is suspected by an investi- gating endocrinologist of having Conn's syndrome. Results of routine biochemistry were (reference ranges are given in brackets): Sodium Potassium Urea Creatinine Alkaline phosphatase Alanine aminotransferase Albumin Bilirubin Calcium 146 mmol/L 2.1 mmol/L 7.2 mmol/L 146 μmol/L 290 IU/L 20 IU/L 49 g/L 8 μmol/L 2.19 mmol/L (135-145) (3.5-5.0) (3.5-6.6) (70-150) (95-320) (5-42) (35-50) (<17) (2.12-2.62) (a) Are any of the electrolyte concentrations abnormal, and if so what condition is suggested? (b) What further biochemistry investigations would you undertake? Explain your reasoning.
A 72-year-old adult patient who weighs 78 kg is prescribed by the doctor “Potassium Chloride 40meq in 1L to run for 8 hours” via the peripheral line for a potassium level of 3.3 mEq/L that was drawn this morning. Note: 10 mEq of potassium chloride increases serum potassium levels by approximately 0.1 mEq/.L The concentration of potassium for intravenous administration via a peripheral line should not exceed 40mmol / 500 mL 10 mEq/hr maximum infusion rate; not to exceed 200 mEq dose/24hr Administration rates above 20mmol/hour require cardiac monitoring. How much will the order medication “Potassium Chloride 40meq in 1L to run for 8 hours” raise the patient's potassium level in a day? Is it still within the normal potassium serum levels, which is 3.5–5.0 mEq/L? Does the order comply with the maximum concentration of potassium to be administered peripherally? Does the order’s infusion rate do not exceed the standard maximum infusion rate? Does the order require cardiac monitoring?
A 30-year-old woman complaining of tiredness was seen by her physician. A serum sample was collected at 2 pm. The following results were obtained (reference ranges are given in brackets):  TSH 1.3 mU/L (0.5–5)  Free T4 15 pmol/L (9–22)  Cortisol 220 nmol/L (>550 at 9 am)  The physician has asked for advice regarding the interpretation of the results and any further investigations you would recommend.  What advice would you give to the physician?

Colin who is 78 years old has been admitted to a ward where you are working, with acute bacterial meningitis. The duty doctor wants to treat with meropenem and she would like to know what dose to treat with. In Colin’s notes you see that he has a history of kidney injury, you have his weight which is 49kg and his serum creatinine is 157micromol/L. What is Colin’s estimated creatinine clearance? X([140-age] × weight in kg)/(serum creatinine IN micromol/L Where X =1.04 for female and X= 1.23 for male 2. What is the maximum daily dose (in grams) of meropenem that Colin will receive?
A patient with severe hypotension has dopamine ordered at 5 mcg/kg/min. The patient weighs 67 kg. The concentration of dopamine is 3 g in 500 mL of normal saline. How many mL per hour should the IV pump be programmed for? Round to the nearest tenth and list only the number.
In a placebo-controlled study, 10 healthy subjects were given oral triazolam 0.5 mg before and after rifampicin 600 mg daily for 5 days. Rifampicin reduced the triazolam AUC by 95% and decreased its maximum plasma levels by 88%, when compared with placebo. The elimination half-life was reduced from 2.8 hours to 1.3 hours. Pharmacodynamic tests (drowsiness, sway, Maddox wing, etc.) showed that rifampicin abolished the effects of triazolam.a) Why is the AUC of triazolam reduced in the presence of rifampicin? b) Given the above scenario, if you were to accommodate this situation by dosage adjustment strategies, in the presence rifampicin what dose of triazolam would you have recommended, keeping dosage interval the same as when there was no rifampicin? answer part b
