Endocrine Disorders (Part 2) - Unit 3 Flashcards
What increases ADH Secretion?
osmoreceptors in hypothalamus respond to changes in serum osmolality
What is diabetes insipidus?
NOT ENOUGH ADH
DI - kidney’s cannot reabsorb water, cannot concentrate urine, and they have concentrated blood. T/F?
True
What are the 3 types of DI?
central (not enough ADH) and nephrogenic (lack of renal response to adh), dipsogenic (oral intake of large amounts of water suppresses release of ADH)
Central DI - what causes it?
head injury, neurosurgery, tumor, hypoxic injuries, infection (meningitis, encephalitis), congenital CNS defects
What causes nephrogenic DI?
drug toxicity (amphotericin, gentamicin, lasix), electrolyte disturbances, sickle cell disease, renal disease
Dipsogenic - more than likely psych T/F?
TRUE
Dipsogenic - might also be because we fead an infant what?
Water. do not do that until they’re about 6 months old / can hold a sippy cup.
What are some manifestations of DI?
dehydration, increased plasma osmolality >295, hypernatremia, decreased urine osmolality, decreased urine Na5ml/kg/hr, SG
What is hypernatremia and what does it indicate?
serum sodium greater than 145, indicates dehydration
What are some signs of dehydration?
Dry mucus membranes, irritability, lethargy, headache, seizures
How do we manage central DI?
Rapid volume expansion with isotonic fluids if in shock, slowly decrease Na by 1-2 mew/hr over 24 hours, hypotonic fluid replacement, DDAVP (spray in nose), vasopressin, NS/LR
What are the goals of UO and SG in managing central DI?
UO = 1.010
what is SIADH?
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion - aka, TOO MUCH ADH
SIADH - excessive reabsorption of water, hypervolemia, hyponatremia, etc. T/F?
True
What are some causes of SIADH?
Pulmonary conditions (infection, asthma, pneumothorax, positive pressure ventilation — increased pressure), CNS conditions (infections, trauma and hypoxic injuries, hydrocephalus, vascular abnormalities), medications (vasopessin, antidepressants antianxiety, antipsychotic, seizure meds, DDAVP, narcotics, chemo, barbituates), post-operative patients
SIADH - may have increased vasopressin for 3-4 days post-op. T/F?
True
What are some manifestations of SIADH?
Decreased urine output 20, low serum osmolality
