after head trauma or brain tumors
see inadequate release of ADH
how do you correct central DI?
exogenous ADH
how will you know if pt has central DI or nephrogenic DI?
if you give pt exogenous ADH, if they have central DI they will respond to it and the urine osmolality will increase
if they have nephrogenic DI, there will be no change in urine osmolality b/c they don't respond at all to ADH
what is the Triphasic response seen in central DI?
initially polyruia
antidiruetic phase: release of stored ADH
permanent CDI
how is the CD made permeable to water?
ADH stimulates the secreteion of Aqua2 channels
ADH binds to BL side, Aqua channels inserted on apical
waht is the problem in neprhogenic DI?
ADH doesn't work on principal cells to increase prodxn of Aqu2 channels
therfore have decresad ability to maximllay concentate the urine
waht stimulates teh thrist center and how high does the plasma osmolarity be to see a change?
incresaed plasma osmolarlty of only 2-3%
Ang II stimulates thirst center
what will hapen to a cave dweller that is attacked by a tiger and loses 500cc blood? waht wif he has access only to water?
stimulate SNS
release renin, produce Ang II
increse reabsob Na from PT
stimulate thirst
decrease FeNa
if no food=no salt
thirst will be stimulated and Ang II will stimulate reab Na but with no Na in diet the kidney will stil reabsorb water via ADH even though serum osmolarity decreases=sacrifice osmoles
waht is uniqe about the tubular fluid leaving PT?
isotonic w/ plasma
what must you do to dilute urine?
reabsorb Na > water
what must be done to concentrate urine? what is the stimuls?
reabsorb water > NaCl
via ADH and hyperosmotic medulla
what is unique about the medullary CD?
permeable to water and urea w/o ADH
cortical CD is only permeable to water w/ ADH
how does the TAL concentrate the medulla
active transport of Na via Na-Cl-K
then fluid in desc limb could be 2ndarily concentrated via reasb of water thus providing delivery of highly concentrated urine to the thin AL
in the presence of ADH, what is the conc of Na vs urea at the turn of loop of henle?
Na is greater in the tubule
urea is greater in teh interstium
thus as go into ascending limbs, Na is actively reabsorbed and urea enters tubles b/c of gradient
waht happens as urea goes through TAL and DCT? what is the pupose of urea?
becomes more concentrated which allows it to leave CD and diffuse back into thin AL continuaosly increasing conc gradient
in the prescence of ADH, what happens to urea?
leaves the CD and floods the interstitum to increase the concentration gradient
1/2 of the 1200 mOsm/L concentration gradient is due to urea!
what happens to the insterstium in medullary asending limb?
it is made hyperosmotic by reabsorption of NaCl w/o water
when is urea able to leave the CD?
when ADH is preseent, water is reaborbed from cortical and med CD, but cortical CD are imperm to urea so the conc of urea increases in tubular fluid
the urea is then able to be reab in medullary CD
what does the urea that accumulates dependent on?
indirectly dependent upon active NaCl transport in thin AL
how will you tell the difference b/n a physogenic water drinker and person with DI?
if you withhold water, DI pt will dehydrate and serum Na wil increase, the same will initially happen in physo b/c ADH has been off for so long
BUT 2-3 days later the medullary gradient will be restored via ADH
why isn't the vasa recta straight?
to minimize the removal of excess intersital solute
what would happen if the vasa recta were straight?
solute would continue to be taken in to the blood and water would be lost from teh blood. now the water that is being reabsorbed from the tubules would not have any way of entering the bloodstream to reduce the plasma osmolality
waht are the reqts for max free water clearance?
ADH must be absent
tubules that dilute the urine (Thin AL, TAL,DT, and CD) must fxn normally
must be adequate delivery of tubular fluid to diluting sites
waht are the tubules that dilute the urine?
thin AL, TAL, DT, CD
waht will impair the ability to maximllay dilute the urine?
decreased GFR or increased prox reabsorption
diuretics and/or volume depletion will impair dilution
why do you give a pt with nephrogenic DI thiazide?
you want to decrease the polyuria that is associated with nephrogenic DI
thiazide inhibits the Na-K-2Cl so there is no Na reab
they already don't have ADH so the 2 being blocked will stimulate RAA b/c the body assumes volume depletion which will decrease the polyuria
increase Na reab in PT and water reab which means less Na and water are delivered to ADH sensitive sites in CD
how does amilioride work to help pts with reveresible Li nephrotoxicity?
amilioride will block the Na selective channels so less Na will be reabsorbed
less Na reabsorbed will stimuluate the RAA system
the Li also competes with the Na selective channels so toxicity will decrease
which diuretic will lower the urine output in nephrogenic DI?
thiazide will decrease urine output by stimulating vol depletion
loop will not lower the urine ouput b/c it blocks the accumulation of NaCl in the mullary interstitium that is essential for the prodxn of concentrated urine and inducing relative ADH resistance: no NaCl in medulla to pull water from CD
no more water in CD=more pee
why don't you want to give a person on Li a diruetic?
b/c anything that promotes Na reab wil increase the amt Li reabsorbed wich can lead to Li toxicity
what do prostaglandins antagonize?
the action of ADH
prostaglandins inhibit the action of sym nervous system which acts to stimualte ADH
we give NSAIDs to block prostaglandins
what are the 4 things you would use to Tx Nephrogenic DI?
Thiazide diuretics
low salt diet
Amilioride
NSAIDs
Li retention will occur with any cause of what?
effective vol depletion
where is mostof the Li reabsobed?
in PT: follows that of Na
waht would cause an eleveated BUN?
if >20:1, consider enhanced urea prodxn or vol depletion (ECV)
renal failure, high protein diet, blood in gut
what is the eqn to determine solute amt from plamsa osmolality and flow rate of urine?
S = U * V
waht is the problem with hyponatremia? what causes it?
water problem
decreased ECF
SIADH
primary polydipsia (psychogenic drinker)
what is a combo of water retention and secondary solute loss?
SIADH
what can caouse SIADH?
postoperative pt
neuropsychiatric pt
ectopic prodxn
waht is the net effect of SIADH?
low Na, normal volume
you have normal volume b/c the kidney compensated for that
how can you treat someone iwht SIADH?
water restriction
Na administration via hypertonic saline
Na + loop
ADH R antagonist
what type of saline do you give someone iwth SIADH?
hypertonic saline
if give isotonic, it will expand their water volum by 350cc that they don't need
*saline needs to be more concentrated than the urine to raise the plasma Na
why is water intox fatal?
water rushes into brain b/c higher osmolality therefore decrease blood flow to the brain
waht is the difference b/c hyponatremia in SAH vs SIADh?
SIADH: normal volume, low Na
SAH: vol depleted, high urine Na, low plasma Na
waht is impt about correcting hypnatremia?
must go slowly
<0.5mEq/L/hr or <12mEq/L/day
or cause irreverisble neurological damage b/c cause central pontine myelinolysis
waht is ECV?
portion of ECF taht is contained in arterial system
the pressure that is perfusing the arterial BaroR's
nl when ECF increases, ECV increases
what is happending to ECV and ECF in heart failure?
you hava a decrease in CO which causes decrease in ECV. kidney senses low ECV adn stimulates the RAA to increse volume in ECF which leads to edema
*same thing in cirrhosis
what are the 4 actions of Ang II?
stimulate the adrenal to releease aldosterone from zona glomerulosa
vasoconstric eff
stimulate ADH secretion from pos p and stimulate thirst
increse NaCl reab in PT
action of ANP
oppose RAA
dilate aff, constict eff to increase GFR
what is the mEq Na, g Na, and gNCl in normal diet?
137mEq Na
3 g Na
8 g NaCl
how would you determine someon'es dietery Na?
24hr urine specimen b/c dietary Na = urine Na
if you are on a low salt diet what happens to your K?
you reabsorb less Na therefore lose less K
what is the FLNa?
GFR * plasma [Na]
when is it ok to have a low FeNa?
when the pt is normal
only problematic if pt is oliguric
if oliguiric <1= vol depletion
>2=ATN
impt b/c if you give ATN pt fluid they will be volume overloaded
why is it impt to find out FeNa?
b/c if pt is oliguruic, if over 2% they have ATN
don't want to give this persone fluid bc they wil become vol overloaded
how is FeNa tightly controlled? what happens if you intake larg amt of Na?
small change in FeNa can lead to a large change in fluid loss (dont' want to increse FeNa too fast)
if intake large amt of Na, FeNa increases gradually but can only remove 1/2 of what you took in in the first day. the rest wll be reab and you will gain wt
the wt gain will stimulate vol expansion and you will reab less Na, excrete mre Na
need wt gain to act as stimulus for increaed excretion
when is steady state reached?
steady state: uine Na=intake Na
what can act like aldosterone? when?
deoxycortisone
stimulate Na reab K secretion
if deficient in 17alpha or 11beta
what is the aldo escape?
normally aldo causes Na reab and K secretion but after 3g wt gain, spontan diuresis occurs returning plasma vol to normal
hypertension stimuates pressure natiruresis so you continue to lose K but no edema occurs b/c Na gain stops
low Na, low MAP
in a pt with chronic high BP why don't we see edema?
b/c of aldo escape: they will have aldo present but low Na reab b/c of the increased BP that creaeted a pressure natiruresis to decrease Na reab
what is the pressure natiruesis?
small increase in BP causes large urinary Na and water excretion
what happens to Na reab when ECV increeses (diff parts of nephron)?
decrese in PT
increase in TAL and DT b/c they are load dependent
decreaes in CD b/c aldo is decreased
what is the state of GFR, RBF, and FF in ECV expansion?
decrese sympathetics
aff > eff dilation
FF=GFR/RBF
incrase GFR but greater increase in RBF therefore decrese FF
make less ultrafiltrate
decrease oncotic in capillaries
less reabsorbed
what is the state of GFR, RBF and FF in ECV contraction?
b/c sym increase aff>eff constriction
RBF decrease more than GFR decresae therefore FF icrease
increes Na reab in PT: decreas Pc and incresae oncotic in cap
less delivery to TAL
