HYPONATREMIA
20. • Hypo or hypernatremia is primarily is a
disorder of water balance
21. hyponatremia
• Na+ <135 meq/l
• Subdivided diagnostically into three
groups,depending upon clinical history and
volume status.
hyponatremia
hypovolemic
euvolemic
hypervolemic
22.
23. ASSESS THE VOLUME STATUS
Urine osmoality
>100 mosm/l
Plasma osmolality
<275 mosm/l
24. Hyponatremia is classified according to
volume status, as follows
• Hypovolemic hyponatremia: decrease in total
body water with greater decrease in total
body sodium
• Euvolemic hyponatremia: normal body
sodium with increase in total body water
• Hypervolemic hyponatremia: increase in total
body sodium with greater increase in total
body water
27. PSEUDO HYPONATREMIA
• Hyperlipidemia
• Hyperproteinemia
• Hypertonic (or translocational) hyponatremia
occurs when osmotically active solutes
(glucose or mannitol) draw water from cells.
• For each increase of 100 mg /dl of glucose,
sodium declines by 1.6 to 2.4 meq/l
28. CONFUSED OF HYPO OR EUVOLEMIC?
• When diagnostic uncertainty remains, volume
contraction of the extracellular fluid can be ruled
out by infusing 2 liters of 0.9% saline over a
period of 24 to 48 hours.
• Even though 0.9% saline is not the preferred
treatment for SIAD, it is usually safe when the
baseline urinary osmolality < 500 mOsm /kg
• correction of the hyponatremia suggests underly
ing volume depletion of extracellular fluid.
32. ADH
• Synthesized in hypothalamus
• Transported down to posterior pituitary
• Released in response to hyperosmolality (major stimuli,
mediated through osmoreceptors in hypothalamus) or
hypovolemia (via baroreceptors in left atrium, aortic arch, etc)
33. ADH
• Binds to V2 receptors in collecting tubules
– stimulates cyclic adenosine monophosphate
– leads to insertion of aquaporin-2 channels into apical
membranes
• The goal is to facilitate the transport of solute-free water
34. SIADH => SIAD
• A slight misnomer
• The name implies inappropriate secretion
• 1/3rd of pts do secrete AVP independent of plasma osmolality
• Others exhibit reset osmostat – AVP is fully supressed, but
serum Na level is lower than nl
• AVP levels may be undetectable in some pts
• Some aquaporin mutations lead to concentrated urine in the
absence of AVP
• Therefore, the new term, Syndrome of Inappropriate
Antidiuresis (SIAD) has been proposed
35. Patterns of plasma levels of arginine vasopressin (AVP; also known as the antidiuretic hormone), as compared with
plasma sodium levels in patients with SIAD, are shown. Type A is characterized by unregulated secretion of AVP, type B
by elevated basal secretion of AVP despite normal regulation by osmolality, type C by a "reset osmostat," and type D by
undetectable AVP. The shaded area represents normal values of plasma AVP. Adapted from Robertson
36. DOES AVP NEEDS MEASUREMENT?
• Measurement of the serum level of arginine
vasopressin is not recommended routinely,
because urinary osmolality above 100 mOsm
per kilogram of water is usually sufficient to
indicate excess of circulat- ing arginine
vasopressin.
37.
38. Neurological adaptation
• The severity of neurologic symptoms
correlates well with the rate and degree of the
drop in serum sodium. A gradual drop in
serum sodium, even to very low levels, may be
tolerated well if it occurs over several days or
weeks, because of neuronal adaptation.
39. SIADH
Hypothalamus receives
feedback from:
• Osmoreceptors
• Aortic arch baroreceptors
• Carotid baroreceptors
• Atrial stretch receptors
Any increase in osmolality or
decrease in blood volume will
stimulate ADH secretion from
posterior pituitary.
40. SIADH - pathophysiology
ADH-induced water retention
Dilutional hyponatremia
Volume expansion -> secondary natriuresis
Sodium and water loss
Potassium loss
Result: Euvolemic hyponatremia
Reduced serum osmolality
Increased urine osmolality
Increased urine sodium
41. SIADH - treatment
Treat the underlying cause, if known
Fluid Restriction – commonly 800-1000mL/d
Correct Na+ deficit – no more than 10mEq/L in
24 hours, 18mEq/L in 48 hours
0.9% NaCl
3% NaCl
NaCl enteral tablets – 2-3g TID
Add a loop diuretic

44. • SIAD may be difficult to distinguish from
cerebral salt wasting, a syndrome of
hyponatremia and ex- tracellular-fluid volume
depletion in patients with insults to the
central nervous system.43,44 The pri- mary
feature that differentiates cerebral salt wast-
ing from SIAD is extracellular-fluid volume
deple- tion, but clinical assessment of volume
status is imprecise
45.
46.
47.
48. Cerebral Salt Wasting
Hyponatremia caused by impaired renal tubular
function -> inability of kidneys to conserve salt
Salt wasting leads to volume depletion
Two theories:
Impaired sympathetic neural input -> failure of
aldosterone release -> no sodium resorption
BNP release decreases sodium resorption, inhibits
renin/aldosterone release, decreases autonomic
outflow at level of brainstem
49. Cerebral Salt Wasting
Commonly occurs in subarachnoid
hemorrhage population (7%)
Carcinomatous, infectious meningitis
Encephalitis
Poliomyelitis
CNS tumors
CNS surgery – usually within the first 10 days
52. Cerebral Salt Wasting
• Treat with volume repletion
– 0.9% NaCl
– 3% NaCl is sometimes warranted
– Fludrocortisone
53. MANAGEMENT OF HYPONATREMIA
Water deficit
1. Estimate total-body water (TBW): 50% of body weight in women and 60% in men
2. Calculate free-water deficit: {([Na+]-140)/140} x TBW
3. Administer deficit over 48–72 h, without increasing the plasma Na+ concentration by
>10 mM/24 h
Ongoing water losses
4. Calculate electrolyte-free water clearance, CeH2O:
where V is urinary volume, UNa is urinary [Na+], UK is urinary [K+], and PNa is plasma [Na+]
Insensible losses
5. 10 mL/kg per day: less if ventilated, more if febrile
Total
6. Add components to determine water deficit and ongoing water loss; correct the
water deficit over 48–72 h and replace daily water loss. Avoid correction of plasma
[Na+] by >10 mM/d
54. Remember....
• Elevated BUN and creatinine in routine chemistries also can indicate renal
dysfunction as a potential cause of hyponatremia,
• whereas hyperkalemia may suggest adrenal insufficiency or hypoaldosteronism.
• Serum glucose also should be measured; plasma Na+ concentration falls by 1.6 to
2.4 mM for every 100-mg/dL increase in glucose due to glucose-induced water
efflux from cells; this "true" hyponatremia resolves after correction of
hyperglycemia.
• Measurement of serum uric acid also should be performed; whereas patients with
SIAD-type physiology typically will be hypouricemic (serum uric acid <4 mg/dL),
• volume-depleted patients often will be hyperuricemic.
• In the appropriate clinical setting, thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary function should
also be tested;
• hypothyroidism and secondary adrenal failure due to pituitary insufficiency are
important causes of euvolemic hyponatremia,
• whereas primary adrenal failure causes hypovolemic hyponatremia
• A cosyntropin stimulation test is necessary to assess for primary adrenal
insufficiency.
