107
Q

Why does Addison’s cause hypovolemic shock?

A

Low aldosterone causes hyponatremia, hyperkalemia –> PU/PD –> dehydration –> shock

108
Q

What is medullary washout?

A

Chronic severe PU/PD results in severe depletion of solutes, thus imparing reabs of Na, Cl, and urea.
Therefore, no urine concentration will occur despite endogenous antidiuretics and intact receptors.
