Study Notes

Hormones and Regulation

Aldosterone is the hormone responsible for causing sodium and water reabsorption.
The goal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) is to regulate blood pressure.

ADH Release

The release of ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) is triggered by increased osmolarity and hypovolemia.
The non-osmotic trigger of ADH release is hypovolemia.

Fluid and Electrolyte Terms

Dextrose is another name for glucose.
The purpose of increasing aquaporin 2 is to increase water reabsorption in the kidneys.
Blood volume is the fluid important for increasing blood pressure.

Hyponatremia

Pseudohyponatremia is a type of hyponatremia caused by elevated lipids in the blood.
The normal serum osmolality level is 285-295 mOsm/kg.
Hypertonic hyponatremia is caused by the presence of osmotic solutes that attract water into the bloodstream.
Electrolyte abnormality is the most common type of hyponatremia.
Symptoms associated with moderate Hypotonic Hyponatremia include headaches, nausea, and seizures.
The difference between acute and chronic hyponatremia is the duration of the condition, with acute being less than 48 hours and chronic being more than 48 hours.
The brain's adaptation to Hypotonic Hyponatremia is to decrease the amount of solutes in the brain cells to match the decreased osmolality of the blood.
The first step in treating hyponatremia is to correct the underlying cause.
A life-threatening level of hyponatremia is less than 120 mEq/L.
Hypovolemic hyponatremia involves greater sodium than water loss.
Euvolemic hyponatremia is caused by the release of ADH, often due to SIADH (Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone).
The treatment for hypovolemic hyponatremia is to administer isotonic fluids.
Rapid correction of hyponatremia should be avoided in treatment.
