19
Q

What is Congenital nephrogenic DI?

23
Q

Hypernatremia occurs only when (1) ______ or (2)_____.

A
  1. ADH is decreased
  2. ineffective daily water intake (less than that required to compensate for normal insensible, gastrointestinal, and renal losses)
25
Q

Sodium is transported on the ______ in the thick ascending limb and by the thiazide-sensitive _____ in the distal convoluted tubule.

A

Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter; NaCl cotransporter

26
Q

Low serum _____ levels suggest euvolemia.

uric acid

27
Q

For each increase in serum _____ of 100 mg/dL, serum _____ will fall by about 1.6mEq/L.

A

glucose; sodium

28

renal losses

30

Drugs such as lithium or demeclocycline antagonize the end-organ effect of _____.

A

AVP

31
Q

What 2nd messenger does ADH use?

A

adenylate cyclase (which generates cyclic AMP)

31
Q

High serum ____ levels suggest volume depletion.

uric acid

32
Q

Hyponatremia is most commonly caused by _____.

A

a relative excess of water
