Definition

Deficiency of TB(Na)

orthostatic changes in pluse and bp

Flat neck veins

Dry mucous membranes

decreased skin turgor

Term
Hypervolemia Definition and PE symptoms
Definition

Excess TB(Na) causes fluid overload

 

Lower extremity edema

Pulmonary rales

Elevated neck veins

ascites

Pleural effusions

S3 gallop on Cardiac exam

Term
Euvolemia Definition and PE signs
Definition

Normal TB(Na)

 

findings of volume depletion and fluid overload are absent

Term
Hyponatremia Pathogenesis
Definition
Decrease of [Na] of ECF decreases shifting water into cells-->cellular swelling (cerebral edema)-->CNS manifestations
Term
Hypovolemic Hyponatremia
Definition

↓ [Na]=↓↓TB(na)/↓ TB H20

 

Extrarenal:  vomiting, diarrhea, blood loss, excessive sweating, third-space losses, nasogastric suction-->Una or Ucl <10 mEq/L

 

Renal Losses:  diuretic use, osmotic diuresis, Addison's disease, acute/chronic interstitial nephritis  (all cause renal salt wasting)--> Una and Ucl >20mEq/L

 

Treatment:  Volume expansion w/ Normal Saline

Term
Hypervolemic Hyponatremia
Definition

↓ [Na]=↑ TBna/↑↑ TB H2O

 

Extrarenal:  CHF, Nephrotic Syndrome, Decompensated Cirrhosis--> Urine [Na]<20mEq/L

 

Renal Cuases:  ARF, CRF-->Urine [Na]>20mEq/L

 

Treatment:  Salt Restriction & diuretics (TBna), Fluid restriction (TBH2O)

Term

Hypervolemic Hyponatremia Pathophysiologic Abnormalities

 

Definition

Impairement of kidney ability to excrete salt-->fluid overload

 

Imparment of kidney's ability to excrete free water-->decreased osmolality

Term
Euvolemic Hyponatremia
Definition

↓ [Na]= NI TBna/ ↑↑ TB H2O

 

impair free water clearnace by causing non-osmotic release of ADH or by making tubules permeable to H2O in absence of ADH

 

Causes:  SIADH, Nausea, postop, hypothyroidism, psychosis, drugs

Urine [Na]>20mEq/L

 

Treatment:  Fluid Restriction
