Sodium and Water Homeostasis Flashcards
WHat happens to the ECF volume with increased Na intake?
Increases (changes) quickly and levels off
Where is the majority of Na Reabsorbed?
Proximl Concoluded tubule
WHat are the determinants of Reabsorption of Na?
Na-H+ exchange Na-Glucose Cotransport AT II Norepinephrine Peritubular Capillary hemodynamics
What determines reabsorption through the Loop of henle and distal tubule?
Flow-dependent
Flow- dependent
What happens to GFR and Renal Plasma Flow during low effective arterial volume?
Slight Decrease in GFR. Large decrease in RPF leads to INCREASED FILTRATION FRACTION Inc oncotic P Inc reabsorption Dec Backleak
What are the clinical signs of Volume expansion
Edema Pulmonary Crackles Ascites JVD Hepatojugular reflux Hypertension
What are the treatments of Volume expansion?
Tx underlying disorder Reduce Na intake Diuretic Therapy -Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors -loop diuretic therapy -Thiazide Diuretic Therapy -ALdosterone antagonist thx -K sparing diuretics
What are the applications for Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors?
Mets acidosis
What are the applications for Loop Diuretics?
Acts on Loop of Henle
- electrolyte disorders
- ototoxicity
- hypersensitivity rxn
What are the applications for Thiazide Diuretics?
Electrolyte disorders-HypoK, Hypo Na
Gout
Metabolic Disorders-lipid Dis
What are the applications for ALdosterone antagonist therapy?
Acts on Aldo sensitive principle cells in cortical coll tubule HyperKalemia
Gynecomastia, amenorrhea
What are the applications for K sparing Diuretics?
Acts on Aldo sensitive principle cells in cortical coll tubule
Hyper K
Weak naturetic effect
What are the clinical symptoms of Volume depletion?
Orthostatic Hypotention Dec Pulse Vol Dec venous pressure Loss of axillary sweating Dec Skin turgor Dry mucous membranes
What is the major determinant of water excretion?
ADH
What are the treatments of Chronic Hyponatremia?
Fluid Restriction
Inhibition of ADH action
Increased Solute intake
