serum hypoosmolality
hyponatremia
concentrated urine
what does ADH signal the kidneys to do?
hold fluid

cancer
what causes SIADH?
malignant tumors “small cell lung cancer”
head trauma, stroke, brain tumors
morphine, SSRI’s, some chemos
Hypothyroidism, infection
SIADH pathophysiology map (4 steps)
- increased ADH
- increased water absorption in renal tubules
- increased intravascular fluid volume
- dilutional hyponatremia and decreased serum osmolality
what is the song that goes along with SIADH?
lung tumors, trauma, and bad bugs a complication might be, SIADH, SIADH, SIADH, this hormone stops the PEE PEE
low output, sodium; gained weight and high specific gravity, SIADH, SIADH, SIADH, this hormone stops the PEE PEE
What osmolality is low with SIADH?
serum, sodium,urine
what osmolality is high with SIADH?
urine specific gravity
do you gain or loose weight with SIADH?
gain
in SIADH your patient is retaining ____ ____, without ____
pure water; salt
manifestations of SIADH depend on
severity and onset of hyponatremia
clinical manifestations of SIADH
hyponatremia causing dyspnea and fatigue
neurological- dulled sensations, confusion, lethargy, muscle twitching, convulsions
GI- impaired taste, no appetite, vomiting, abd cramps
what serum sodium level indicates hypovolemic shock and what does this cause?
Na+ less than 100-115
irreversible neurologic damage
can you die of water intoxication?
YES
what is water toxicity and how does this happen and what cells are primarily effected?
excessive intake of water, serum sodium is super low causing cells to swell, especially in the brain causing increased intracranial pressure. can be deadly
is pharmacotherapy the first line of tx for SIADH?
Nope, tx is directed at the underlying cause
ex: discontinuing offending med
