ICF vs ECF TBW%s? ICF is 2/3 of TBW; ECF is 1/3 of TBW (plasma & intersitium)
Changes in plasma tonicity cause changes in ________? cell volume
AVP affects? urinary free water excretion
What structure has tonicity receptors? hypothalamus to changes in tonicity
What is AVP? arginine vasopressin, A.k.a. antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Made in hsupraoptic & paraventricular nuclei of hypothalamus, Carried via axonal transport dwon pituitary stalk to posterior hypophysis for storage
What makes renal interstium hypertonic? Na pumps cause absorption of salt in ascending limb, which is NOT permeable to water.
Effect of urea on cell volume? None. It freely crosses cell membranes and does not change volume
Effect of glucose on cell volume? None. It freely crosses cell membranes and does not change volume
Effect of saline on cell volume? hypertonic saline decreases cell volume by acting as effective osmoles facilitating water movement from cells that leads to cell shrinkage/less cell volume.
What are non-osmotic stimuli for vasopressin release? decreased effective circulating volume (CHF, cirrhosis, vomiting) need to release of vasopressin by causing discharge from parasympathetic afferent nerves in carotid sinus baroreceptors. Also: nausea, Post op pain, Pregnancy
Higher vasopressin levels are achieved with what physiologic changes? 7% decrease in volume vs. hyper osmolality
Vasopressin binds where? V1a (vascular and hepatic), V1b (ant pituitary), V2 (collecting duct).

Urine that is not maximally concentrated DDX? think either partial DI or primary polydipsia, which “washes out” the concentration gradient in the renal medulla
Effect of injury/transection of the pituitary stalk (describe) DI->SIADH->DI!! First) DI occurs because interruption of nerve impulses means AVP cannot be released. 2cnd) SIADH from unregulated release of stored AVP from degenerating neurons. 3rd) Once AVP stores depleted, permanent DI seen.
Vasopressinase effects? Nlly in gestation vasopressinase causes subclinical cDI or nDI w polyuria responsive to DDAVP & AVP. In 3rd trimester, conditions can develop that respond to DDAVP (not AVP) causing decreased metabolism of vasopressinase (HELLP, acute fatty liver.)
What hormone is resistant to vasopressinase? DDAVP, not AVP
Significance of pituitary bright spot? loss of the posterior pituitary hypertensity is nonspecific finding with cDI. Bright spot maybe preserved early in AD cDI.

Rapid correction of HYPERnatremia causes? cerebral edema, especially in infants, with seizures
How do you treat over correction hyponatremia (unwelcome aquaresis!)? D5W plus DDAVP; DDAVP is effective to re-lower Na, is well tolerated, and prevents myelinolysis.
Explain osmotic demyelination syndrome? develops 2-6 days after excessive correction of HYPOnatremia —> causes quadriparesis, locked in syndrome, swallow dysfcn (pontine sx) and non-pontine sx of seizures,AMS, movement d/o.
Risk factors of osmotic demyelination syndrome? chronic hypoNa, ETOH, malnutrition, liver dz, burns, hypoK, [Na} < 105
Acute hyponatremia Time frame? < 48 hrs requires emergency treatment with 3% NaCL of 513 mEq at 1 ml/kg results in 1 mEq/L increase in Na with goal to raise Na 4-6 mEq/L. {raise Na 6 in 6hrs then STOP}
3% NaCl effects? 513 mEq/L has the effect that 1 ML equals 0.5 mEq. 1 ml/kg results in 1 mEq/L increase in Na for max increase of 6 mEq/6 hrs then stop.
Correction of hypoNa with KCL? 400 mMol KCl ~ 3% NaCl
Therapy for DDAVP induced hyponatremia (usu isotonic NaCl)? cont DDAVP and 3% NaCl + fluid restrict. stopping DDAVP leads to marked and rapid rise in Na. can start w 100 cc bolus of 3% NaCl then gtt 0.3 ml/kg/hr.
Speed of correcting hypernatremia? acutely should correct as fast as it developed. Chronically, correct < 12 mEq/L to avoid cerebral edema.
Why is there no edema with SIADH? excess ADH causes water retention despite low Posm. Volume receptors become activated leading to appropriate increased UNa and H20 excretion. Thus it’s combo of H20 retention + solute loss so UNa usu > 40
Rx SIADH water restrict (difficult), vaptans do not require H20 restriction
Effect of vaptans? block AVP effects causing fewer AQP2 channels in apical membrane—> more H20 excreted sodium

Benefits of bumetanide vs furosemide? Bumetanide has more hepatic clearance and is sometimes more effective PO.
Furosemide is dependent on ____ for its biological action. adequate plasma albumin. It is 95% albumin bound, which is component that reaches proximal tubule to then gain entry into tubular lumen. Low alb causes less furosemide to enter tubular lumen + has higher vol distribution.
Bumetanide binds to ______? albumin and globulins, where is furosemide only binds to albumin.
Psychogenic polydipsia resembles true DI since causes polyuria + low Uosm BUT plasma osm is normal/low in PP whereas high in DI.
How do thiazide diuretics work to Treat NDI? thiazides + low sodium diet inhibit salt re absorption in DCT causing mild vol depletion. Hypovolemia then stimulates fluid resorption in proximal tubule thereby lowering H20 delivery to AVP sensitive sites in DCT.
Therapy of NDI? thiazides + low Na diet, PG inhibitors like NSAIDS, amiloride
Therapeutic hypernatremia for cerebral edema and prevention of herniation? 30 ml of 23.4% NaCl (~234 ml of 3% NaCl) usu raises Na by 5 mEq/L
