This document discusses hypernatremia, including its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, evaluation, and treatment. It notes that hypernatremia is usually a water problem caused by inadequate water intake or excessive water loss. The pathophysiology involves vasopressin and thirst responses. Causes include diabetes insipidus, diuretic use, gastrointestinal losses, and others. Evaluation involves assessing sodium and osmolality levels along with urine studies. Treatment goals are to correct water deficit and stop ongoing losses, usually through slow correction with hypotonic fluids and encouraging water intake.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

mOsm/kg)

mOsm/kg H 2 O [central, nephrogenic, partial, gestational DI]
22. Diabetes insipidus (DI)Diabetes insipidus (DI)
First obtain a plasma AVP level
Determine the response of the urine osmolality to a dose
of AVP (or preferably, the V2-receptor agonist DDAVP)
An increase in urine osmolality of greater than 50%
reliably indicates central diabetes insipidus
An increase of less than 10% indicates nephrogenic
diabetes insipidus
Responses between 10% and 50% are indeterminate
If the patient has polyuria without hypernatremia and will be evaluated for
diabetes insipidus, the plasma sodium has to be above 145 mOsm/kg H2 O
prior to testing (via water deprivation test, hypertonic saline)

Q1: What is the ECF volume?
A gain of Na is rarely the sole cause of
hypernnatremia
Q2: Has the body weight changed?
Water shift (transient) during extreme exercise or
seizures because of increased intracellular osmoles : 10-
15meq/L
Q3: Is the thirst response to hypernatremia
normal? ↑1%﹝Na﹞is powerful urge to drink
Q4: Is the renal response to hypernatremia
normal?
Urine osmolarity > 1000mOsm/KgH2O Urine
volume < 20mL/H unless there is a high rate of
excretion of effective osmoles
25. Free-water clearance (cHFree-water clearance (cH22 O)O)
cH2 O = Vurine [1-(UOsm/SOsm)]
This includes all osmoles, including urea, which
does not contribute to the plasma tonicity because
it freely equilibrates across cell membranes
To more accurately assess the effect of the urine
output on osmoregulation, calculate the
electrolyte–free-water clearance (cH2Oe), to
estimate the ongoing renal losses of hypotonic
fluid
cH2 Oe = Vurine [1-(UNa +UK)/SNa])

27. Goals of therapyGoals of therapy
To correct water deficit
To stop ongoing water loss
28. Principles of therapyPrinciples of therapy
Correction should be done over
48 to 72 hours

Plasma Na should be lowered by 0.5
meq/L/hr or not more than 12meq/L/ 24
hrs

33. PolyuriaPolyuria
Polyuria based on an unexpectedly low
urine osmolality (UO)
If renal medulla is damaged, UO is close to
that of plasma when ADH acts( 300mOsm/Kg)
If ADH fails, UO is below 300 mOsm/Kg
34. Urine Specific GravityUrine Specific Gravity
USG defined as weight of solution compared
with that of an equal volume of distilled water
USG ∞ particle weight X particle number
Urine osmolality ∞ particle number
Normally(neither glucose nor protein in urine),
↑SG 0.001=↑UO 30-35mosmol/Kg
SG (1.010) = UO( 300-350)
35. PolyuriaPolyuria
Polyuria as a function of osmole excretion
rate= urine osmolality x urine volume (UV)
Normally, osmole excretion rate = 900mOsm/D
if urine osmolality is 900, UV is 1 L
In osmotic diuresis, osmole excretion rate
=1800mOsm/D , which is exogenous(Glucose)
if urine osmolality is 900, UV is 2L
in fact, urine osmolality is 450, UV is 4L
