15
Q

Explain the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway.

A

Decreased Na levels/Decreased ECF volume/Decreased arterial pressure lead to renin secretion from JG cells. This raises angiotensin I which is converted to Angiotensin II (which causes vasoconstriction and increased Na reabsorption by PCT). Angiotensin II also activates aldosterone, increased K secretion and increased Na reabsorption

Q

What specifically triggers renal sodium rentention in CHF?

A

Renin-angiotensin activation due to decreased EABV

19
Q

What leads to edema formation in cirrhosis?

A

decreased osmotic pressure (low albumin) leads to increased hydrostatic pressure in portal circulation which promotes the movement of plasma to ISF

20
Q

What receptors are stimulated when there is hypertonicity?

A

Hypothalamic receptors

21
Q

What effects do the hypothalamic receptors have in response to hypertonicity?

A

Increased thirst, increased water intake leading to isotonicity

Increased AVP release leading to renal water retention

22
Q

What is the opposite of the hypertonicity of the hypothalamic pathway?

A

The opposite but still leading to isotonicity

23
Q

Where is the thirst center located?

A

third ventricle

24
Q

What is the stimulus of the thirst center?

A

increased ECF osmolarity, volume depletionm angiotensin II, pain nausea and vomiting. Leads to ADH

25
Q

How does ADH effect AQP-2

A

Increased sr osm increased AVP/ADH. This opesn AQP2 CD and INcreased H20 reabsorption. This increased U osm and Decreasing serum osmolarity

26
Q

What are the three general categories of hyponatremia?

A

Hypovolemic Euvolemic, Hpervolemic

27
Q

In hypervolemic hyponatremia, what do TBW and TB Na do?

A

TBW decreases. TB Na decreases even more.

28
Q

What will the urine Na be in hyponatremia

A

less than 20 meq/l

29
Q

what is a common cause of hypovolemic hyponatremia

A

vomiting and diarrhea

30
Q

What are clinical recognition signs of sodium depletino?

A

reduction in bp
poor skin turger, absence of dependent edema
disproportionate increase in BUN to creatinine
Reduced urine sodium excretion except in cases with renal losses of Na

31
Q

In Euvolemic Hyponatremia, what do the TBW and TB Na do?

A

TBW increases while TB Na stays the same

32
Q

What are causes of euvolemic hyponatremia?

A

pulmonary disorders, cns disorders and cancer, antipsycho drugs

33
Q

What conditions must be ruled out to ensure a euvolemic hyponatremia?

A

glucocorticoid deficiency

hypothyroidism

34
Q

What is SIADH

A

it’s an inappropriate release of ADH, allowing aqps to reabsorp more water. na excreition remains the same but concentration thus increases. there is an inhibition of raas because that’s activated by arterial pressure, which is the same because of all the extra water

35
Q

What is hypervolemic hyponatremia?

A

retention of both sodium and water in which the latter increases enough to still call hyponatremia

36
Q

What are teh causes of hypervolemic hyponatremia?

A

CHF, hepatic cirrhosis nephrotic syndrome renal disease

37
Q

what are symptoms of hyponatremia?

A

nausea, malaise, headache, lethargy, obtundation, seizures, coma

38
Q

How does the brain adapt to hyponatremia?

A

following hyponatremia, h20 moves down its osmotic gradient producing cerebral edema. in response the brain loses extracellular and intracellular osmolytes. h20 losses then accompany the osmolytes and the brain volume decreases back to normal in chronic hyponatremia

39
Q

What can happen if you correct hyponatremai too quickly?

A

cerebral demyelination syndromew

40
Q

what is cerebral demyelination syndrome?

A

caused by excessive rate or amount of correction of serum Na. can lead to paraplegia, permanent or fatal

41
Q

What is the big test for hypernatremia?

A

Uosm

42
Q

If you had a Uosm under 300, what does it mean?

A

Central nephrogenic water diuresis

43
Q

If you have a Uosm greater than 500, what does it mean

A

extra-renal water loss OR osmotic diuresis

44
Q

In treating euvolemic hypernatremia, how much should you replace over the first 24 hours?

A

1/2
