Amount of Filtered Na is Huge
• Kidney is filter and throws everything away an takes back what it needs ○ Throws out: 25,500 mmol of sodium ○ And vast majority reabsorbed ○ 200x what you're taking in in a normal diet ○ 10x amount what you have in ECF ○ Preserve this: excrete more or less the same amount you take in to keep your \_\_\_\_ controlled

Hypovolemic \_\_\_\_ Sweating (Marathon) \_\_\_\_ Cerebral Na Wasting \_\_\_\_ Def.
Euvolemic \_\_\_\_ Glucocort. Def. \_\_\_\_ (Myxedema) Rest osmostat
• Hypovolemic usually depends on which \_\_\_\_ did you lose the fluid from • Euvolemic (hyponatremia) > caused by syndrome of SI ADH ○ \_\_\_\_ disorders that cause this that's not tech SIADH, though the physio is similar ○ Reset osmostate > can make either \_\_\_\_ or dilute urine depending on which side of osmostate you're on § It's not reset to a low number § It's siimlar to SIADH □ RO person will turn off \_\_\_\_ if serum osm gets low enough, SIADH will \_\_\_\_ turn off their ADH

Major Causes of SIADH
• Meds – \_\_\_\_ – Carbamazepine – \_\_\_\_ (methamphetamine) • CNS Disease (trauma, infection, tumors, hemorrhage) • Pulmonary Disease (esp. \_\_\_\_, Small Cell CA) • Carcinomas • \_\_\_\_ • Stress (post-op, pain, nausea, \_\_\_\_ exercise) • Idiopathic
* Bottom line is that there are several meds that cause SIADH * Classic is \_\_\_\_ (an

Treatment of Hyponatremia
• Raise tonicity, but not too ____
fast
Feared Consequence of Over- Correction: Osmotic ____
• Signs/Symptoms: – \_\_\_\_/Dysphagia – Weakness/paresis – \_\_\_\_ – \_\_\_\_/confusion/obtundation, \_\_\_\_ – Often \_\_\_\_ • Occurs \_\_\_\_ days after over-correction • Incidence: \_\_\_\_ – Probably not that frequent
- aka if you shrink too fast
- most people don’t get it but if you do see it it’s scary

Osmotic Demyelination • Risk factors – Over-correction - >\_\_\_\_ mEq [Na] over 24 • >\_\_\_\_ mEq [Na] per hour – Females who have not had \_\_\_\_ – Alcoholism – \_\_\_\_ – Liver disease – \_\_\_\_
• unclear what happened with formatting but the red box
should be on “Females who have not had menopause”
• and he said ^ is the risk factor we should focus on

• Everybody gets hypernatremic if you don’t give them ____
• Almost all in-hospital hypernatremia caused by… (drumroll please)
– Pt not getting enough water
• Management plan:
– Give them some ____ (IV or PO)
– If they are volume depleted, give some ____
– In severe hypernatremia, do not correct more than ____mEq/day
• Even people with SIADH will get hypernatremic if you lock
them in a room w/o water
◦ this is b/c EVERYONE loses water!
• Management:
◦ giving water by IV: ____
◦ giving water PO: drinking ____
• When correcting: don’t do too rapidly b/c brain is shrunk like raisin and don’t want to expand it too quickly

Diabetes Insipidus Work Up: Is kidney doing the right thing?
• If serum tonicity high > ADH should be ____
• Urine Osmolality should be at ____
• Urine [Osm] < ____ mM suggests DI
– NB: kidney dz impairs ____ ability
• Is kidney part of problem or solution?
• If tonicity too high, ADH should be present
◦ test w/urine osmolality (max is 1200)
◦ ^ should be at least 600
◦ so if urine osm is < 600, this suggests impaired ____ ability (could be diabetes insipidus, DI)
present
maximum
600

Central vs. Nephrogenic
• Central: pt is missing \_\_\_\_ • Nephrogenic: pt doesn’t \_\_\_\_ to it • Test by giving dDAVP: – If Urine [Osm] increases to > 600 > \_\_\_\_ DI – If not > \_\_\_\_ DI • Chronic Treatment: – Central: • \_\_\_\_ – Nephrogenic: • d/c \_\_\_\_ meds • \_\_\_\_ diuretic
• dDAVP = artificial ADH = modified AVP
• ____ is harder to treat
◦ mechanism for treating w/thiazide diuretic isn’t certain
