CIS disorders of salt and water balance Flashcards
what is hyponatremia and where does water move
sodium is too low so water moves into cells
what is hypernatremia and where does water move
sodiu is too high and fluid moves out of the cell
What is the normal response to hyponatremia
inhibit release of ADH so excrete dilute urine
What is an example of a condition where ADH release is appropriate but patient still develops hyponatremia
psychogenic polydipsia
What are the two types of True hyponatremia
dilute urine with low ADH
concentrated urine with high ADH
what are examples where patients have a low ADH and dilute urine yet still hyponatremic
psychogenic polydipsia
reset osmostat like during pregnancy
What are examples of true hyponatremia that result in high levels of ADH
a decrease in effective circulating volume
SIADH
cortisol deficiency
hypothyroidism
What can cause a decrease in effective circulating volume
CHF and cirrhosis
What can result in a rapid onset of hyponatremia
cell swelling and neurological problems
what is a normal osmolar gap
<10 mOsm/kg H2O
how can you tell is someone is true hyponatremia
both plasma Na [ ] and osmolality are below normal
what is the normal response to hyponatremia
dilute urine in high volumes
circulating AVP or ADH is low
Pregnant women usually have what in regards to hyponatremia
reset osmostat, less osmolility triggers AVP
A patient with low Posm and high ADH what do you suspect
SIADH
Uosm/Posm>1
A patient with low Posm and low ADH what do you suspect
primary polydipsia with Uosm/Posm<1
A patient with high Posm and high ADH what do you suspect
dehydration or nephrogenic DI
