Q

HypoNa - look at volume status and then what?

A

If hypovolemic -> look at urine SODIUM
– because it’s a water problem and that means you look at the Na

If eu-/hypervolemia -> look at urine OSM

22
Q

A
  • surgery
  • trauma
  • cranio
  • germinoma
  • infiltration: LCH, sarcoid, mets
  • autoimmune
  • Idiopathic
  • Drugs: Ethanol; Phenytoin; Opiate antagonists; Halothane; Alpha-adrenergic agents
  • Congenital hypopituitarism
  • Familial
    — AD mutation in ADH: magnocellular cell death by the accumulation of misfolded AVP precursors within the endoplasmic reticulum (“toxic gain of function”)
    — AR mutation in ADH: early onset polyuria and hypernatremia
    —Wolfram syndrome (DIDMOAD: CDI, DM, optic atrophy, and deafness) AR with incomplete penetrance
23
Q

24
Q

Tests for DI

A
  • Water dep
  • Hypertonic Saline infusion
  • Arginine copeptin stimulation test
25
Q

Triple phase
- phases and duration, onset

A

DI (12h-few days)
onset day 1-2
- edema, cells “stunned”
- sometimes skip this phase

SIADH (up to 2 weeks)\
onset day 5-8
- ADH released as cells die

SI (indefinite)
onset variable, by day 14

26
Q

how to test or DI in infants

A

○ No water deprivation

○ Administer DDAVP (1 µg SQ or IV over 20 min, max dose 0.4 µg/kg)

○ Measure urine osm at baseline and Q30min x2 hours

○ If urine osm doesn’t increase by >100 mosmol/kg over baseline, the diagnosis of nephrogenic DI is made and DNA should be obtained for mutation analysis

27
Q

DI test: copeptin in water dep

A
  • Ratio of stimulated copeptin (change in copeptin level over 8hrs during water dep) to plasma sodium (at the end of test)

≥0.02pmol/L = complete central DI
<0.02pmol/L = partial central DI

28
Q

DI test: Plasma copeptin stimulated by hypertonic saline infusion

A

≤4.9 pmol/L = complete or partial central DI
>4.9 pmol/L = primary polydipsia

29
Q

Advantages of using copeptin

A
  • smaller sample volume
  • copeptin assay does not require extraction step or other pre-analytical procedure
  • copeptin is stable in plasma/serum ex vivo, handling is less complicated
30
Q

how does hypertonic saline test work

A

administration of hypertonic saline to increase serum osmolality above 300 mOsm/kg, with subsequent measurement of serum vasopressin levels -> should see it rise

31
Q

Copeptin helps differentiate what, how?

A

CDI:copeptin levels are low
primary polydipsia: intermediate
NDI: elevated

32
Q

CDI tx

A

thirst intact
- DDAVP, titrate to effect

thirst not intact
- DDAVP
- fluid restrict to 1L/m2/d

33
Q

Other than DDAVP, options to tx CDI

A
  • High free water intake
  • Low solute diet
  • Thiazide diuretic
  • Chlorpropamide
  • Carbamazepine
  • NSAID
34
Q

Excess extracellular volume (edema, ascites) + urine w:
- low Na
- high Na

A
  • low Na: hyperaldo
  • high Na: SIADH
35
Q

what is the post pit

A

not a gland but only the distal axon terminals of the hypothalamic magnocellular neurons that make up the neurohypophysis

36
Q

what hormone problems decreased water excretion

A

Hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency

when present may mask diabetes insipidus

37
Q

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide - what does it do
- where is it releases
- stimuli

A

Inhibits Aldosterone Secretion

Atria

increased volume,
increased Na,
neurologic inputs

38
Q

where are the V2 receptors

A

collecting duct of kidneys

39
Q

what will you see with DDAVP in water dec test with nephrogenic DI vs central DI

A

i. Nephrotic DI – urine osm <300 mOsm/kg and does not increase by >50% after DDAVP
ii. Complete central DI – urine osm increase by >50% after DDAVP

40
Q

2 meds to tx NDI

A

HCTZ - causes natriuresis which produces some contraction of extracellular fluid volume, decrease GFR, decreased delivery of fluid to the collecting duct, and a decreased urine volume

ii. Indomethacin - has antidiuretic action that especially prolongs the action of vasopressin and administered DDAVP, it also decrease urine volume
