Q

what is the pathophysiology of pre-renal azotemia? what happens if it remains uncorrected? sequela?

A

decreased renal perfusion causing a decrease in glomerular filtration of metabolites which results in an increase in BUN & creatinine while urine concentrating ability remains normal (normal tubular function)

Q

what is the mechanism of polydipsia?

A

low plasma osmolality stimulates chemoreceptors in the thirst center - posterior pituitary gland releases ADH

renal response to ADH is to concentrate urine requiring 1/3 functioning nephrons & a hypertonic renal medullary interstitium (2/3 non-functional nephrons for kidney not to concentrate urine causing polyuria)

correct possible medullary wash out
29
how are results of an gradual H2O test interpreted for an animal with pu/pd?

35
what is the point of doing a water deprivation test on a pu/pd animal? what are the contraindications to doing it?
determines if ADH is released in response to subclinical dehydration if kidneys can respond to ADH & concentrate urine contraindications - dehydration, azotemia (BUN, creatinine), or hypercalcemia
36
when do you terminate a water deprivation test?
urine concentration > 1.025, > 5% weight loss, azotemia develops, dehydration develops
37
what is the benefit of doing a gradual water deprivation test?
for animals with psychogenic polydipsia with medullary washout (animal can't concentrate on abrupt test), so this allows the gradient to be re-established
38
how is a gradual water deprivation test done?
reduce water intake bt 5% daily
39
what is a negative result for a gradual water deprivation test?
animal fails to concentrate without renal disease or lab abnormalities - indicates neurogenic or nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
40
when is an ADH response test done?
done after abrupt or gradual water deprivation test if there is an inadequate concentration tests renal tubular ability to concentrate urine
41
how is an ADH response test done? how are the results interpreted?
vasopressin is given IM & USG is measured at 30, 60, 90, & 120 minutes negative water deprivation test + positive ADH concentration >1.025 - diagnostic for neurogenic diabetes insipidus both negative water deprivation & ADH response tests - indicate nephrogenic diabetes insipidus or DDI if after abrupt H2O deprivation
42
what is a negative result of an abrupt H2O deprivation test?
failure to concentrate, USG < 1.025 without renal disease or other lab abnormalities - indicates neurogenic or nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and/or medullary washout
43

49
what are the main causes of central/pituitary diabetes insipidus?
idiopathic - most common CNS trauma/infection, neoplasia, parasitic migration
50
what is the pathophysiology of central diabetes insipidus?
ADH acts on the distal tubules & collecting ducts to increase reabsorption of water, but there is either a lack of ADH formation and/or release of ADH so decreased ADH = water diuresis (polyuria)
51
how is central diabetes insipidus diagnosed?
negative H2O test & positive ADH test persistent hypernatremia, H2O test USG < 1.025, ADH test positive
52
how is central diabetes insipidus treated?
unlimited water!!!! desmopressin for ADH supplementation for pituitary tumors - cobalt radiation
53
what is the cause of psychogenic diabetes insipidus?
disorder of thirst centers resulting in primary psychogenic DI - behavior problem or from drugs (salt, diuretics, glucocorticoids, fluids, anticonvulsants) secondary polyuria to rid the body of excessive H2O - large breed dogs, kidneys are usually functional, but causes medullary washout
54
how is psychogenic DI diagnosed?
urinalysis shows a USG of 1.001-1.003 water deprivation test shows concentrated urine abrupt water deprivation diagnoses about 2/3 of cases gradual water deprivation done in other 3rd to eliminate medullary washout
