fluid/acid-base HYPO NA Flashcards
HypoNa. what normal serum osmol?
275-295
HypoNa. If osmolality increased, what released?
Incr. in osmolality -> incr. ADH -> incr. H2O resorption in distal tubules and collecting ducts.
HypoNa. If osmolality decreased, what supressed?
Osmolality is low -> low ADH -> less water absorbed.
ADH is secreted in response to hypovolemia and this stimulus will over-ride any response to serum osmolality.
.
What is osmolality?
Osmolality = effective osmoles + ineffective osmoles
What is tonicity?
Tonicity = effective osmoles
Tonicity leads to driving force for water to move, since particles do not cross membrane and it leads to incr. tonicity.
.
Effective osmoles how move?
Effective osmoles – does not move easily.
Ineffective osmoles how move?
Ineffective osmoles – moves easily through compartments.
Tonicity (effective osmoles) - what particles?
It is determined by endogenous (sodium and glucose) and exogenous (mannitol, raffinose) solutes with a reflection coefficient of 1.0 that are unable to pass through cell membranes.
ineffective osmoles - what particles?
Freely permeable substances that have a reflection coefficient of zero (such as urea, ethanol, and methanol) are named as “ineffective osmoles” and they can easily shift through fluid compartments.
Serum osml. formula?
Serum Osm = 2 x Na + Glucose + Urea (international units (all of which are in mmol/L)).
what is osmolal gap? calculation?
The osmol gap is the difference between the measured and calculated osmolality
(measured – calculated)
Inc. osmolality. 2 mechanisms?
1st mechanism: there may be an additional solute or solutes other than a sodium salt, glucose, or urea that is present at a concentration high enough to raise the osmolality.
2nd mechanism: Marked hyperlipidemia or hyperproteinemia.
normal osmolal gap?
Normal gap =< 10 mOsm/kg water.
Above 10 - incr. osmolal gap
Inc. osmolality. 1st mechanism - inc. solutes. it may be with or without anion gap acidosis.
WITH anion gap ACIDOSIS what particles contribute to LARGE anion gap?
Major causes of a large osmolal gap: ethylene glycol or methanol ingestion, propylene glycol infusion – it a diluent found in iv medications such lorazepam (Ativan), diazepam (valium), phenytoin, phenobarbital, nitroglycerin.
Inc. osmolality. 1st mechanism - inc. solutes. it may be with or without anion gap acidosis.
WITH anion gap ACIDOSIS what particles contribute to SMALL anion gap?
Causes of smaller osmolal gap: severe CKD without regular dialysis, ketoacidosis (diabetic or alcohol), lactic acidosis, paraldehyde ingestion or injection.
Inc. osmolality. 1st mechanism - inc. solutes. it may be with or without anion gap acidosis.
WITHOUT anion gap ACIDOSIS what particles contribute to anion gap?
Ethanol, isopropanol, diethyl ether ingestion; infusion of mannitol, infusion of nonconductive glycine (TURP syndrome), sorbitol; pseudohyponatremia (severe hyperlipidemia or hyperproteinemia)
Inc. osmolality. 2nd mechanism.
Marked hyperlipidemia or hyperproteinemia does not affect the concentration of sodium in serum water, and it is this concentration that determines the measured serum osmolality.
.
HypoNa. UW. Low osmolality. What are fluid statuses?
Hypovolemic, euvolemic, hypervolemic.
HypoNa. UW. 1st step?
is there hyponatremia < 135?
HypoNa. UW. normal osmol and inc. osmol. what fluid statuses?
,,variable”
fantastika blet
HypoNa. UW. there is Na < 135. what next?
check osmolality - o
low < 275
normal,
high > 295 mOsm/kg
HypoNa. UW. if low Na + high osmol?
evaluate 2 things.
1st - glucose - it may be result of hyperglycemia
2nd - exogenous solutes eg mannitol, contrast agents, alsa was mentioned advanced renal failure.
HypoNa. UW. if Na low and there is no increase in serum osmol (it means osmol low or normal). what to evaluate then?
urine osmolality.
HypoNa. UW. urine osmolality range?
Urine osmolality varies between 50 and 1200 mmol/kg.
For diagnostic - 100 mOsm/kg
HypoNa. UW.
Na low and there is no increase in serum osmol. evaluated urine osmol > 100 mOsm/kg.
what that means? causes
Indicates impaired ability to dilute the urine. Urine is concentrated, it means that water is lack in urine. It means ADH is released.
Causes: SIADH (also U Na > 40), hypothyroidism, glucocorticoid deficiency (aka secondary adrenal insufficiency).
HypoNa. UW.
Na low and there is no increase in serum osmol. evaluated urine osmol < 100 mOsm/kg.
What that means? causes
It indicates diluted urine. Urine is dilated, it means there is too much water, that need to excrete. It means ADH is suppressed.
Primary polydipsia, beer drinkers potomania.
what is beer potomania?
Beer potomania, a unique syndrome of hyponatremia (5 or more drinks/day). It is described as the excessive intake of alcohol, particularly beer, together with poor dietary solute intake that leads to fatigue, dizziness, and muscular weakness.
The low solute content of beer, and suppressive effect of alcohol on proteolysis result in reduced solute delivery to the kidney. The presence of inadequate solute in the kidney eventually causes dilutional hyponatremia secondary to reduced clearance of excess fluid from the body.
HypoNa. UW.
Na low and there is no increase in serum osmol. evaluated urine osmol > 100 mOsm/kg. what evaluate next?
Urine sodium
