Q

Central vs nephrogenic DI diagnostics:

  • Water Deprivation Test: If you restric water and then give a patient vasopressin (ADH), what do you expect to happen in central DI? In nephrogenic?
A

Central: increase urine osmolality

Nephrogenic: No change in urine osmolality

Q

How do you diagnose DI? (6)

A
  • 24hr urine
  • Urine specific gravity (< 1.005)
  • Urine osmolality (<200)
  • Plasma osmolality (>287)
  • Water Deprivation test (incr. urine osmolality in central DI, no change in nephrogenic)
  • ADH- plasma, urine

Q

How do you tx Central DI?

A
  1. Replacement of fluid losses (can get hypernatremic if no access to water)
  2. Desmopressin
  3. 2nd line: Chlorpropamide, Carbamazepine, Clofibrate

Q

You should suspect what in all patients with:

  1. Hyponatremia
  2. Serum hyposmolality
  3. Continued urinary sodium excretion >20
A

SIADH

17
Q

How do you dx SIADH?

A

Hyponatremia w/ continued sodium excretion >20mmol / 24hrs

18
Q

What 2 conditions must be ruled out when working up SIADH

A

**must r/o hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency b/c both are causes of hyponatremia/euvolemia**

19
Q

What are the 5 major causes of SIADH?

A
  1. Ectopic ADH–> MCCly due to Small cell carcinoma of the lung (oat cell)
  2. Pulmonary Disease (ex: PNA)
  3. Major abd/thoracic surgery
  4. CNS disturbances (CVA, hemorrhage, infection, trauma)
  5. Drugs: Chlorpropamide, carbamazepine, clofibrate
20
Q

How do you treat SIADH? (3)

A

1. Water Restriction

2. Salt administration

  1. other option: Salt + loop diuretic
