Water + Volume Disorders Flashcards
Osmolality (tonicity) =
Sodium
Serum osm formula
2Na + glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
Or basically 2Na
270-290 (Na is half)`
Abnormal serum [Na] (natremia) from
Free Water change (ADH)
HyperNa = dehydration HypoNa = overhydration
Abnormal Volume (ECFV) (volemia) from
Total body Na
Hypervolemia = UP total body Na
Hypovolemia = DOWN total body Na
Hypovolemia
BUN/creatinine
UNa
UOsm
FENa
- BUN/creatinine >20:1
- UNa <20 mEq/L
- UOsm >450
- FENa =1
Hypertonic Hyponatremia (PseudoHypoNa)
Etiology + Tx
Sugar dilutes Na, makes hypertonic (water to ECS),
Tx: normal saline until hemo stable, then 1/2 saline
Isotonic Hyponatremia
Etiology + Tx
Hypertriglyceridemia/hyperproteinemia
ERROR
Severe: Hypertonic saline + furosemide
Hypotonic Hyponatremia GENERAL
Etiology
Kidney can’t excrete free water
Hypotonic Hyponatremia - Hypovolemic
Etiology + Tx
Renal (diuretic=UNa>20)/extrarenal Na loss (UNa<10)—> release ADH —> impair free water excretion/increase thirst
Tx: normal saline
Hypotonic Hyponatremia - Iso/Euvolemic
Etiology + Tx
SIADH,
hypothyroid, adrenal insufficiency, 1ry polydipsia
Tx: H20 restriction + tx cause
Hypotonic Hyponatremia - Hypervolemic
Etiology + Tx
CHF, nephrotic, cirrhosis Renal failure (high UNa)
Volume increase, pushed into interstitium (edema/ascities (splanchnic veins)) , body thinks low volume, stim RAAS/ADH/SNS
Tx: H2O+Na restriction, loop diuretic
Hypernatremia
Etiology
Net water loss, no intake
Hyponatremia
Dx
CNS dysfunction = cerebral edema
Lab: Serum Na<135
Hypernatremia
Dx
CNS dysfunction = cerebral cell shrinkage
Lab: Serum Na >145
Hypernatremia
Tx
Hypotonic fluids (oral) = water, D5W, 0.2% saline
Hypernatremia - Hypovolemic
Etilogy
Renal loss (high UNa) = hyperglycemia, mannitol
Extra-renal loss (low UNa) = sweating, GI, dehydration
Hypernatremia - Isovolemic
Etiology
Diabetes insipidus
Hypernatremia - Hypervolemic
Etiology
Hypertonic saline
Mineralocorticoid excess
Free water (osm)=
Total body fluid
Driven by plasma osmolarity, regulated by water intake/excretion
Osmolarity (concentration) changed by ADH
ECF (volume)=
Total Na in body
Driven by total volume (baroreceptors),
regulated by renal Na excretion
Volume changed w/ RAAS + SNS (Ang 2, aldo, ANF)
ADH set off by
Osmotic
AND SEVERE LOW VOLUME
Ang 2 effect on glomerulus
- constrict efferent
- UP filtration fraction
- maintain GFR in low blood flow (more Na/H2O reabsorption)
Sympathetic effect on renal
- peripheral vasoconstrict
- UP HR/contractility
- UP renin secretion
- UP renal Na absorption
ANP/BNP effects
- excrete Na/H2O
* vasodilate
