Pituitary Disorders- DI and SIADH Flashcards
Which condition?
Decreased or absent ADH or receptor issue
DI
MCC of central DI?
idiopathic MC
Tumor, neurosurgery
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?
Central: increase urine osmolality
Nephrogenic: No change in urine osmolality
How do you diagnose DI? (6)
- 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
Sxs of what?
- Lrg volume, dilute urine
- Excess thirst
- 24hr urine 2.5-20L
Diabetes Insipidus
Is nephrogenic or central DI more common?
nephrogenic
Are the following causes of nephrogenic or central DI?
- chronic Lithium
- hypercalcemia
- hypokalemia
Nephrogenic
Is nephrogenic DI abrupt or gradual onset of polydipsia? Central DI?
Nephrogenic (or primary) DI: gradual
Central DI: abrupt
Central or nephrogenic DI?
Deficient secretion of ADH
Central
Central or nephrogenic DI?
Kidneys resistant to effects of ADH
Nephrogenic
How do you tx Central DI?
- Replacement of fluid losses (can get hypernatremic if no access to water)
- Desmopressin
- 2nd line: Chlorpropamide, Carbamazepine, Clofibrate
How do you tx Nephrogenic DI?
- Tx cause (d/c lithium or correct hypercalcemia)
- Thiazide diuretic + low salt diet
What 2 patient populations have less TBW? Which has more?
Less= elderly and obses
more= kids
What condition?
Abnormal increase in ADH w/o appropriate stimulus
SIADH
What is the primary manifestation of what?
Hyponatremia w/o clinical edema (euvolemia)
SIADH
