Q

ADH Mechanism

A

Released by hypothalamus. Causes blood vessels to constrict and makes the collecting duct highly permeable to water to allow for lots of its reabsorption (doesn’t affect salt). Increases blood pressure and volume

Q

Aldosterone Mechanism

A

Acts on Na+/K+ pumps and increases their numbers in the kidneys. Pulls more sodium out of cell and increases amount of sodium in blood stream that causes water to follow it.

Q

Fluid Forces (3)

A
  1. Hydrostatic pressure - pushes fluid from inside the vessel out, decreases in pressure the farther away from the heart you get
  2. Osmotic pressure - pushes fluid from outside the vessel in, constant throughout the body
    (net out closer to the heart, net in farther away)
  3. Osmosis - driven by osmolarity, water moves towards hypertonic solutions

Q

Extracellular Imbalances (aka Saline Imbalances)

A

  4. Cushing Disease
23
Q

Excess Volume Clinical Manifestations (5)

A
  1. Sudden weight gain
  2. Circulatory overload - bounding pulse, hypertension, JVD when upright
  3. Edema - swelling
  4. Bulging fontanel in infants
  5. Dyspnea and orthopnea
24
Q

Hyponatremia

A

“Hypotonic Syndrome,” gain more water than salt, causes cells to swell with fluid and risk bursting.

25
Q

Hyponatremia Causes (6)

A
  1. Water Intoxication
  2. Excessive ADH
  3. Psychogenic Polydipsia- compulsive drinking of water from psychogenic drugs like ecstasy
  4. Forced Water consumption - hazing
  5. Excessive beer intoxication - needs to be a LOT, VERY QUICKLY to overcome the ADH inhibition that occurs when drinking alcohol
  6. Near drowning in fresh water

A

Decrease in interstitial potassium levels

31
Q

Hypokalemia Causes

A

Many etiologies but diuretics can be a potential cause

32
Q

Hypokalemia’s Effect on Cells

A
  • Makes intracellular charges mores negative
  • Hyperpolarized muscle cells (cardiac, skeletal, heart)
  • Requires stronger signals to depolarize

  5. Excess phosphate
42
Q

Calcium Pathophysiology

A

Key for neuromuscular junction response and muscle contractions. The amount of calcium directly correlates with the amount of sodium needed to fire an action potential (less calcium : less sodium needed, more calcium : more sodium needed)

43
Q

A
  • Increased neuromuscular excitability
  • Muscle twitching & cramping
  • Tetany
  • Positive Trousseau
  • Positive Chvostek - muscles twitching/convulsing when touching muscle on cheek

A
  • Etiologies causing excessive intake and absorption
  • Shift in storage (hyperparathyroidism, bone cancers)
  • Decreased excretion
46
Q

Hypercalcemia Clinical Manifestations (4)

A
  • *Need more sodium to fire an action potential due to increased levels of calcium**
    1. Decreased muscular excitability
    2. Gastrointestinal abnormalities
    3. Muscle weakness
    4. Cardiac problems
47
Q

A

Magnesium depresses acetylcholine release and effects the amount of neuromuscular excitability

48
