  1. Sodium Disorders: Hyponatremia William Harper, MD, FRCPC Endocrinology & Metabolism Assistant Professor of Medicine McMaster University

  3. What is Appropriate Urine Concentration? • Complete DI • Defective osmoreceptor, normal AVP release to ECFv contraction • High-set osmoreceptor: AVP release is sluggish/delayed • AVP release at normal Posm but subnormal in amount

  4. Osmolality • Plasma Osmolality: Posm = 2 (Na) + glucose + urea Normal = 2 (140) + 5 + 5 = 290 (275-290 mM) • Urine Osmolality: • Normal: 400-500 mM • Maximal dilution 50-100 mM (USG 1.002-1.003) • Maximal concentration 900-1200 mM (USG 1.030-1.040) • Concentrated Urine: > 500 mM (at least!), USG > 1.017 i.e. UOSM > POSM is not enough to R/O Diabetes Insipidus

  5. Urine Specific Gravity USG • Estimates solute concentration of urine on basis of weight as compared with an equal volume of distilled water • Normal Posm is 0.8-1.0% heavier than water so PSG = 1.008-1.010 • Each ↑ in UOSM 30-35 mM ↑ USG by 0.1% (0.001) • Therefore, USG of 1.010 ~ UOSM 300-350 mM • Larger MW urinary OSM (glucose, radiocontrast, carbenicillin) if present will falsely elevate USG • Nothing falsely lowers USG

  6. Hyponatremia Serum OSM Normal High Low Marked hyperlipidemia (lipemia, TG >35mM) Hyperproteinemia (Multiple myeloma) Hyperglycemia Mannitol Hypotonic Hyponatremia • *Note: all have ↑ADH • SIADH: inappropriate • Rest: appropriate ECFv * Low High Normal • CHF • Cirrhosis • Nephrosis • Hypothyroidism • AI • SIADH • Reset Osmostat • Water Intoxication • 1° Polydipsia • TURP post-op • Renal loss (UNa > 20) • Diuretics • Thiazide • K-sparing • ACE-I, ARB • IV RTA, Hypoaldo • Cerebral salt wasting • Extra-renal loss (UNa <10) • Bleeding • Burns • GI (N/V, diarrhea) • Pancreatitis

  7. Rx Hyponatremia • Na deficit = 0.6 x wt(kg) x (desired [Na] - actual [Na]) (mmol) • When do you need to Rx quickly? • Acute (<24h) severe (< 120 mEq/L) Hyponatremia • Prevent brain swelling or Rx brain swelling • Symptomatic Hyponatremia (Seizures, coma, etc.) • Alleviate symptoms • “Quickly”: 3% NS, 1-2 mEq/L/h until: • Symptoms stop • 3-4h elapsed and/or Serum Na has reached 120 mEq/L • Then SLOW down correction to 0.5 mEq/L/h with 0.9% NS or simply fluid restriction. Aim for overall 24h correction to be < 10-12 mEq/L/d to prevent myelinolysis

  8. Rx Hyponatremia (Example) • Na deficit(mmol) = 0.6 x wt(kg) x (desired [Na] - actual [Na]) • 60 kg women, serum Na 107, seizure recalcitrant to benzodiazepines. • Na defecit = 0.6 x (60) x (120 – 107) = 468 mEq • Want to correct at rate 1.5 mEq/L/h: 13/1.5 = 8.7h • 468 mEq / 8.7h = 54 mEq/h • 3% NaCl has 513 mEq/L of Na • 54 mEq/h = x 513 mEq 1L • x = rate of 3% NaCl = 105 cc/h over 8.7h to correct serum Na to 120 mEq/h • Note: Calculations are always at best estimates, and anyone getting hyponatremia corrected by IV saline (0.9% or 3%) needs frequent serum electrolyte monitoring (q1h if on 3% NS).

  9. Rx Hyponatremia • Rx slowly (correct < 0.5 mEq/L/h, 10-12 mEq/L/d) • Symptomatic/Acute: rapid Rx has resolved symptoms and brought serum Na up to 120 mEq/L • Asymptomatic, mild, chronic hyponatremia • Want to prevent myelinolysis • Increased risk: Women, alcoholics, malnourished • ECFv contracted • Bolus NS until BP, HR, JVP stable • Then correct slowly with 0.9% NS or po salt • ECFv Normal or ECFv Overloaded • Fluid Restriction alone (exception: SAH, HI, post-neurosurgery) • i.e. they do NOT need any IV or po salt!

  10. SIADH Ddx • Intracranial disease • Pulmonary disease • Chest wall disorder (surgery, VZV) • Severe pain or emotional distress • Severe N/V • Ectopic ADH: Small cell lung cancer • Drugs: opiods, carbamazepine, chlorpropamide, cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, vincristine, vinblastine, amitriptylline, SSRI, neuroleptics, bromocriptine, ecstasy (MDMA)

  11. SIADH Diagnosis • Normal ECFv (or slightly increased) • Hypothyroidism & AI ruled out • ↓ serum Na/OSM • UOSM > 100 mM, UNa > 40 mEq/L • Low plasma uric acid (< 238 umol/L) Treatment • Fluid Restriction • Oral Salt, Hi-protein diet or Urea(30 g/d): promote solute diuresis • Lasix 20 mg po od-bid: Loop direct diminishes medullary gradient • Demeclocycline 300-600 mg bid (can be nephrotoxic) • Lithium (induces NDI) • IV salt solution: • Rarely if ever needed (i.e. only if symptomatic with SZ/coma) • Solution given must be of greater OSM than UOSM or in long run will just make hyponatremia worse (often IV NS not sufficient)

  12. SIADH: Example • UOSM fixed 600 mM due to ADH action • 1L NS given: 300 mM (154 mM each of Na and Cl) • All sodium will be excreted as renal sodium handling is intact in SIADH. • 300 mmoles of osmols given excreted in 500cc urine (300mmoles/500mL = 600 mM) • Therefore net gain of 500 cc free water! • 1L 3% saline given: 1026 mmoles • Excreted in 1.7L to keep UOSM 600 mM • Therefore net loss of 700 cc free water! • NOT advocating use of any IV NS (0.9% or 3%) in SIADH unless absolutely neccesary (i.e. SZ, coma). Most SIADH hyponatremia is chronic and should be corrected slowly with fluid restriction ONLY.

  13. Reset Osmostat • 25-30% of circumstances which cause SIADH • Downward resetting of the threshold for both ADH release and thirst. • Mild asymptomatic hyponatremia (Na 125-135 mEq/L) • Distinguish from SIADH by observing response to water load (10-15 mL/kg po or IV) • Normal subjects and those with reset osmostat will secrete the entire water load over 4h without any worsening of the hyponatremia • Attempts to correct hyponatremia in reset osmostat are not needed and will cause severe thirst

  14. Cerebral Salt Wasting • Cerebral disease (particularly SAH) • Mimics SIADH with hyponatremia except primary defect is salt wasting not water retention. • Circulating factor which impairs renal tubular fn. • Atrial natriuretic peptide? • Brain natriuretic peptide? • Endogenous ouabain? • Plasma urate variable (normal or even lower than SIADH) • Treatment is NS to correct ECFv contraction

  15. SIADH v.s. Cerebral Salt Wasting

  16. Rx Hyponatremia: acute SAH/Head injury • May have SIADH, CSW or Both! • Often difficult to tell which • Fluid restriction inappropriate for CSW as may exacerbate ECFv contraction and precipitate cerebral vasospasm and subsequent cerebral infarction • IV NS inappropriate for SIADH if UOSM > 300 mM (will make hyponatremia worse) • Rx with IV NS: • Start with 0.9% NS (as per hypervolemic therapy to prevent cerebral vasospasm) • If hyponatremia worsens on 0.9% NS (due to an SIADH component to hyponatremia) consider switch to 3% NS • Goal: 0.5 mEq/L/h (only if symptomatic 1-2 mEq/L/h) • Fludrocortisone • 0.1-0.4 mg/d • May also be beneficial in recalcitrant cases to alleviate CSW.

  17. Indications for 3% NaCl • Symptomatic hyponatremia (SZ, coma) • Acute severe hyponatremia (<24h, < 120 mEq/L) • SAH with hyponatremia worsening on 0.9% NaCl

  19. Diabetes Insipidus Polyuria: > 3 L/d +Polydipsia: > 3.5 L/d Ddx • Diabetes Mellitus • Hypercalcemia • Solute diuresis: • Volume expansion 2° saline loading • High-protein feeds (urea as osmotic agent) • Post-obstructive diuresis • Diabetes Insipidus: • Central (CDI) • Nephrogenic (NDI) • Primary (Psychogenic) Polydipsia

  20. Central (CDI) Idiopathic autoimmune Neurosurgery, head trauma Cerebral hypoperfusion Tumor Craniopharyngioma, pituitary adenoma, suprasellar meningioma, pineal gland, metastasis Infiltration Fe, Sarcoid, Histiocytosis X Nephrogenic (NDI) X-linked recessive Hypokalemia Hypercalcemia (2° to HPT in particular) Renal disease: after ATN, postobstructive uropathy, RAS, renal transplant, amyloid, Sickle cell anemia Sjogren’s Drugs: Lithium, 20% of chronic users Demeclocycline, amphotericin, colchicine Diabetes Insipidus Ddx

  21. What is Appropriate Urine Concentration? • Complete DI • Defective osmoreceptor, normal AVP release to ECFv contraction • High-set osmoreceptor: AVP release is sluggish/delayed • AVP release at normal Posm but subnormal in amount

  22. Diabetes Insipidus • Intact thirst & access to water • Hi-normal serum sodium (142-145 mEq/L) • Polydipsia (crave cold fluids) • Polyuria, Nocturia  sleep disturbance • 1° treatment is pharmacological • Impaired thirst or access to water: • Hypernatremia • Insufficiently concentrated urine • 1° treatment is free water (enteral or IV D5W)

  23. Diabetes Insipidus • Healthy out-patients • DI with Intact thirst or access to water • Hi-normal serum sodium (142-145 mEq/L) • Polydipsia (crave cold fluids) • Polyuria, Nocturia  sleep disturbance • 1˚ Psychogenic Polydipsia • Low-normal serum sodium (135-137 mEq/L) • Anxious middle-aged women • Psychiatric illness, phenothiazine (dry mouth)

  24. 1˚ Polydipsia

  25. 1˚ Polydipsia: “What came first?” The Polyuria or the Polydipsia? The Chicken or the Egg? (Egg)

  26. Water Deprivation Test • Hold water intake for 2-3h prior to coming in. • Continue to hold water & Monitor: • Urine volume, UOSM q1h • Serum Na, OSM q2h • If serum OSM/sodium do not rise above normal ranges & UOSM reaches 600  1˚ Polydipsia • If serum OSM reaches 295-300 mM & UOSM doesn’t ↑ • Diabetes Insipidus established • Endogenous ADH should be maximal, check serum ADH • 2 green rubber stopper tubes, pre-chilled, on ice, need biochemist • Give DDAVP 10 ug IN • CDI: UOSM ↑ by 100-800% (complete CDI), ↑ by 15-50% (partial CDI) with absolute UOSM > 345mM • NDI: UOSM ↑ by up to < 9%, sometimes ↑ as high as 45% but absolute UOSM always < isotonic (290 mM)

  27. Diabetes Insipidus • Back to in-patients! • Impaired thirst or access to water • Elevated serum sodium/OSM • UOSM < 500 mM, USG < 1.017 • If serum sodium/OSM not elevated • Not DI! • UOSM and USG are irrelevant

  28. Pituitary Surgery • Triphasic response to surgery • Phase 1: DI • Axonal injury 2° surgery/swelling • Begins after POD #1 (pre-existing DI can occur earlier) • Lasts 1-5d • Phase 2: SIADH • Axonal necrosis of AVP secreting neurons with uncontrolled AVP release • Lasts 1-5 days • Phase 3: DI • Axonal death with cessation of AVP production • Usually permanent

  33. Treatment of DI • Rx Dehydration • NS initially if ECFv contraction • Then IV D5W or enteral free water to lower serum [Na] • 1-2 mEq/h if Na > 160, symptomatic (coma, SZ), acute • Otherwise 0.5-1.0 mEq/h • Insensible losses? (0.5 L/d) • Do NOT replace U/O if giving DDAVP • DDAVP (Desmopressin) • Reduces U/O and therefore simplifies fluid therapy • Long t½: duration 8-12h, up to 24h • Therefore use judiciously • DDAVP 1ug IV/SC x 1 • Only repeat if breaks-thru again (i.e. becomes hypernatremic with dilute polyuria) • Once nasal mucosa stable can switch to intranasal • Also oral form DDAVP now available DDAVP: 1ug IV/SC = 10 ug IN = 0.1 mg PO

  34. Treatment of DI • AVP, Aqueous vasopressin (Pitressin) • Only parenteral form, 5-10 U SC q2-4h • Lasts 2-6h • Can cause HTN, coronary vasospasm • Chlorpropamide(OHA which stimulates AVP secretion) • 100-500 mg po OD-bid • Only useful for partial DI, can cause hypoglycemia • HTCZ(induces volume contraction which diminishes free water excretion) • 50-100 mg OD-bid • Mainstay of Rx for chronic NDI • Amiloride(blunts Lithium uptake in distal tubules & collecting ducts) • 5-20 mg po OD-bid • Drug of choice for Lithium induced DI • Indomethacin 100-150 mg po bid-tid (PGs antagonize AVP action) • Clofibrate 500 mg po qid (augments AVP release in partial CDI) • Tegretol 200-600 mg po od (augments AVP release in partial CDI)
