Sodium

36
Q

Causes:

  • *Extra renal water loss** (fever, sweating, diarrhea, mechanical ventilation)
  • *Renal water loss** (osmotic diruresis, iatrogenic)
A

HYPERnatremia

37
Q

DKA, hyperalimentation, mannitol, sodium
diabetes insipidus

all examples of _____ water loss, which can lead to hypernatremia

A

Renal

38
Q

For diabetes insipidus…

which is LOW ADH and which is UNRESPONSIVE TO ADH

(options= central, nephrogenic)

A

Central= low ADH

Nephrogenic= unresponsive to ADH

39
