SIADH, DI Flashcards
Persistent ADH release independent of serum osmolality
SIADH
Main causes of SIADH
SAH, small cell lung cancer
Meds: SSRIs, HCTZ
Increased oral water intake makes patient symptomatic
SIADH
Dx for SIADH
Urine Osmolality > 100 (concentrated urine)
Urinary Na+ ≥ 20
Serum Na+, Serum Osm and Urine Osm in SIADH
Serum Na+ decreased
Serum Osmolality Decreased
Urine Osmolality Increased
Tx for SIADH
Fluid restriction
+/- Demeclocycline
IV Hypertonic Saline w/furosemuide if severe hyponatremia or intracranial bleed
Serum Na+ and Serum Osmolality relationship
Both either inc or dec
What is osmolality
particles/water
Decreased ADH production
DI
MC type of DI
Central
Caused by lithium
Kidney does not respond to ADH
Nephrogenic DI
S/S of DI
Polyuria
Polydipsia
Nocturia
Hypernatremia
Dx for DI
Hypernatremia (Increased Serum Osm)
What establishes the Dx for DI?
Fluid Deprivation Test: Decreased Uosm < 200, decreased specific gravity
What test differentiates Central vs Nephrogenic ADH
ADH stimulation test
