Pathophysiology of Water Handling Flashcards
What causes Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus?
ADH resistance
What are the 3 main categories of hyponatremia?
- hypertonic
- isotonic
- hypotonic
What causes euvolemia?
- SIADH
- 1° Polydipsia
- Hypothyroidism
- Adrenal Insufficiency
What causes Isotonic Hyponatremia?
- hyperlipidemia
- hyperproteinemia (multiple myeloma)
- ***this is a lab artifact
What is SIADH?
syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion; hypoosmolality and less than maximally dilute urine
What causes inappropriate ADH secretion?
- Hypothyroidism
- drugs (nicotine, isoproterenol, SSRIs, morphine, barbs, aspirin)
- adrenal insufficiency
- 1a polydispsia
How do you test for central diabetes insipidus?
kidneys should respond to exogenous AVP with a rise in Uosm of 100 mOsm/kg above the levels achieved following water deprivation
Sodium is transported on the Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter in the ______ and by the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter in the ______.
thick ascending limb; distal convoluted tubule
High serum uric acid levels suggest volume ______.
depletion
If the UNa is less than 20 in hypervolemia, the cause is ______.
- CHF
- cirrhosis
- nephrotic syndromes
_____ occur with severe or acute hyponatremia.
Seizures
Low serum uric acid levels suggest ______.
euvolemia
What is the equation for Serum osmolality (Sosm)?
2 X [Na] + [BUN/2.8] + [Glucose/18]
For each increase in serum glucose of ____mg/dL, serum sodium will fall by about ____mEq/L.
100; 1.6
______ is transported on the Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter in the thick ascending limb and by the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule.
Sodium
