Disorders of water balance- Al Jaber Flashcards
too much water
hyponatremia
water loss
dehydration (hypernatremia)
a deficiency of ECF volume (saline)
volume depletion
passes freely between compartments in response to changes in solute concentrations
water
equal in all compartments
osmolality
total concentration of all particles in solution
osmolality
concentration of only the osmotically active particles
tonicity
formula for plasma osmolality
2[Na] + [Gluc]/18 + [BUN]/2.8
total body weight=
0.6 x weight (kg)
effectors of volume regulation
RAAS
SNS
ANP
effectors of osmoregulation
ADH and thirst
1 stimulus for ADH
high osmolality
2 stimulus for ADH
hypovolemia
plasma osmolality where ADH is released
280-285
movement of water into and out of cells is governed by _____
tonicity (Na+)
changes in cell size ______ tissue function
disrupt
ex. of cell size disrupting tissue function
brain edema
Na+ concentration < 135 mEq/L due to too much water
hyponatremia
Na+ conc. is low but osmolality is high or normal
pseudohyponatremia
both the sodium and osmolality are low
true hyponatremia
what to check for status of ADH in patient
urine Na+ and osmolality
Increased protein or lipids can cause a lab error causing a falsely lowered sodium
pseudohyponatremia (normal osmolality)
water intake > water excretion
true hyponatremia
psychogenic polydipsia causes what
hyponatremia
max amount of urine that can be produced a day
12L
minimum conc. of urine
50
max conc. of urine
1200
