Q

How does cranial DI react to water deprivation test?

A
  • urine osm <400, no ADH released so no concentration of urine in water derp
  • with desmopressin rapid concertation of urine, urine osm increased >50%
17
Q

How does nephrogenic DI react to water deprivation test and stim?

A
  • ADH insesntivity so no concetration of urine urine osm <400 in water dep
  • and with desmopressin urine osm increases by <45%, urine remains unconcentrated
18
Q

How would you treat hyperatraemia at any stage of DI?

A

1st line: oral / IV fluids

19
Q

How do you treat cranial DI?

A

1st line: desmopressin (intranasal)
adults: 0.1 to 1 mg/day orally given in 2-3 divided doses
MRI head

20
Q

How do you treat nephrogenic DI?

A

1st line: maintenance adequate fluid intake and sodium restriction e.g. hydrochlorothiazide thiazide diuretic or NSAIDs

21
Q

Why may you give NSAIDs for DI?

A

NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandin synthase and prostaglandin inhibits ADH

22
Q

What are possible complications for DI?

A
  1. Hypernatremia
  2. Thrombosis
  3. Bladder and renal dysfunction
  4. Iatrogenic hyponatraemia
23
Q

What are urine and plasma conc in DI?

A
  1. Urine osmolality: low (>700 exclude DI)

2. Plasma osmolality high

24
Q

How does normal person react to WDT?

A
  • rise in ADH so increase in urine osmolality >600 in water derp (concentrated(
  • No change in osmolalities no more water to reabsorb with desmopressin
25
Q

What is the process of the water deprivation test?

A
  1. Water restricted for 8 hours
  2. Plasma and urine osmolality are measured ever hour
  3. After 8 hours give desmopressin (ADH analogue) and measure urine osmolality
26
Q

What happens during water deprivation?

A
  1. Water deprivation
  2. Leads to increased serum osmolality
  3. So osmoreceptors are simulated
27
Q

What happens when osmoreceptors are simulated?

A
  1. Therefore the posterior pituitary released vasopressin (ADH)
  2. Leads to increased water reabsorption from renal collecting ducts
  3. So reduce urine volume, increase in urine osmolality
  4. Reduction in serum osmolality
28
Q

How is secretion of ADH simulasted?

A

raised serum osmolality or low blood pressure

29
Q

Where does ADH act?

A

V2 receptors on the cells of the distal convoluted tubule/collecting duct

30
Q

What does ADH do?

A
  1. Increases aquaporin expression on the apical membrane of these cells, which makes them more permeable, allowing reabsorption of water into the blood
  2. This concentrates the urine, and reduces the osmolality of the blood
