Q

Tonicity or effective osmolality ?

A

Capacity of particles i solution to affect water movement across semi permeable membrane —> which is cell membrane

              Urine Osmolality <100
              Plasma Osmolality approximately 285

Q

Isotonic Hyponatremia (another name ) Aka ?

A

Aka Pseudohyponatremia
Isotonic Osmolarity WNL (approximately 285)

can result from:
Lab Artifact?
Hypertriglyceridemia ?
Paraproteinemia? (abnormal Protein that destroys Kidneys due to CA
like melanoma
Check Serum Electro pherisys

Q

Hypertonic Hyponatremia ?

A

Presence of Excess ECF Osmotically Effective Solutes (i.e glucose)

Exertion of Osmotic Pressure
H2O redistribution from intracellular to Exrecellular compartment
Resulting Dehydration and Hyponatremia

It’s HYponatremia DUE TO Hypertonicity due to decrease cellular Volume

Q

Hypotonic Hyponatremia

A

Inability of Kidney to Exrete Electrolyte-Free H2O to match water intake

Two different Mechanisms
1. Normal diluting capacity of kidney is overwhelmed by excessive
H2O intake
2. Diluting Capacity of kidney is impaired
