Free water restrict+ rx underlying cause
If symptomatic hyponatremia or failure to increase Na
Hypertonic Saline plus loop diuretic
Consider Demeclocycline
Causes of SIADH
Pulmonary Pathology: pneumonia, asthma, COPD, SCLC, positive pressure ventilation
Intracranial Pathology: Trauma, stroke, hemorrhage, tumors, infection
Drugs: Carbamazepine, Chlorpropramide, TCA, Cyclophosphamide, Opiates
Miscellaneous: Pain, Nausea, post op state
Hypovolemic Hypernatremia
Uncontrolled DM, Mannitol
Diarrhea, Insensible
Euvolemic Hypernatremia

Hypervolemic Hypernatremia
Hypertonic Saline Administration
Workup in Hypernatremia
Volume Status :
If hypovolemic determine whether renal(Uosm 300-600; Una >20) or extrarenal(Uosm>600; Una<20) losses
If Euvolemic check Uosm to evaluate for complete or partial DI
Treatment of Hypernatremia
Replete free H20 deficit(formula)
Recheck sodium frequently
Restore access to H20
Correct Volume Status
-Hypovolemic hypernatremia: 1/4 or 1/2 NS
-Hypervolemic hypernatremia: D5W plus loop diuretic

Treatment of Central DI
Treatment of Nephrogenic DI
Desmopressin
Treat underlying cause if possible; salt restriction+thiazide diuretics
Polyuria
Greater than 3 L urine output per day
Causes of polyuria
Osmotic diuresis(uncontrolled DM, mannitol, urea) or water diuresis
Workup for Polyuria
Perform a timed urine collection and measure Uosm
24hr osmole excretion rate=24hr UOP x Uosm
>1000 mOsm/day=osmotic diuresis

What can be done to prevent amphotericin b nephrotoxicity?
Salt loading may be beneficial in renal vasoconstriction caused by amphotericin B since volume expansion decreases the release of vasoconstrictors and increases the secretion of the vasodilators. In salt loading, 1 liter of isotonic saline is given over the 60 minutes prior to amphotericin B administ
Lipid-based formulations (liposomal amphotericin B) can also be used.
