Fluid And Electrolyte Disturbances Flashcards
Dopamine
Natriuretic effect
Aldosterone
Activates Na Cl reabsorption within aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron
Mannitol
Filtered by glomeruli
Not reabsorbed in proximal tubule
Causes osmotic diuresis
Acetazolamide
Inhibit proximal tubular Na Cl absorption via inhibition of carbonic anhydrase
Trimethoprim and pentamidine
Inhibit distal tubular Na reabsorption through amiloride sensitive ENaC channel
Daily fecal fluid loss
100-200 ml/day
Insensible losses
500-650 ml/day
Hypovolemia and
Hypochlormeic alkalosis due to vomitting diarrhea or diuretics
What is the expected urine na?
> 20
Renal causes of hyponat
Expected Urine Na?
> 20
Inhibits renal concentrating activity, thiazides or loop diuretics?
Loop (blunts countercurrent mechanism)
Cerebral salt wasting
Hypovolemic hyponat
UNa > 20 (inappropriate natriuresis)
Assoc w: SAH TBI Craniotomy Encephalitis Meningitis
Hypervolemic hyponat with Urine Na > 20
Acute or chronic renal failure
Primary vs secondary AI in terms of volume status and Na levels?
Primary- hypovolemic hyponat
Secondary- euvolemic hyponat
Most common cause of euvolemic hyponat?
SIADH
Other causes euvolemic hyponat?
Glucocorticoid deficiency Hypothyroidism Stress Drugs SIADH
Class of drugs which most commonly cause SIADH
SSRIs
