Approach to the patient with electrolyte disordersHyponatremia-Hypernatremia Zehra Eren, M.D.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES • recallbody waterandfluiddistribution • recallserum osmolality • recalletiology of hyponatremiaandhypernatremia • describesingandsymptomsof hyponatremiaandhypernatremia • describelaboratoryfindingsof hyponatremiaandhypernatremia • explanetreatment of hyponatremiaandhypernatremia
Solute Composition of Body Water • Predominant solutes in ECF: Sodium (Na+) Chloride (Cl−) Bicarbonate (HCO3−) • Predominant solutes in ICF: Potassium (K+) Protein− Phosphate−
Osmolality • Posm=2×plasma Na++ Glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
Osmolality • Normal ECF osmolality: 280-290mOsm/kgH2O • ECF and ICF are in osmotic equilibrium, at steady state • Vasopressin (antidiuretichormone (ADH) -osmoticstumuli -nonosmoticstumuli: HF, Cirrhosis, vomiting, postoperativepain, pregnancy
Hyponatremia • Serum Na<135 mEq/L

Hyponatremia • Serum Na<135 mEq/L
Dısorders of water and sodium balance • Hyponatremia (too much water) • Hypernatremia (too little water) • Hypovolemia (too little sodium, the main extracellular solute) • Edema (too much sodium with associated water retention)
Hyponatremia • almost always due to the oral or intravenous intake of water that cannot be completely excreted • impaired water excretion that is most often due to an inability to suppress the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or to advanced renal failure
Diagnosis • Volume statusandserum osmolalityareessentialtodetermineetiology • Hyponatremiausuallyreflectsexcesswaterretentionrelativetosodiumratherthansodiumdeficiency, thesodiumconcentration is not a measure of total body sodium • Hypotonicfluidscommonlycausehyponatremia in hospitalizedpatients

Hypernatremia • Serum Na>145 mEq/L

Laboratory Findings • Urineosmolality > 400 mosm/kg→ renalwater-conserving ability is functioning (hypotonic fluid losses from excessive sweating, the respiratory tract, or bowel movements andlactulose) • Urineosmolality < 250 mosm/kg→ characteristicof DI -Central DI: inadequateADH release -Nephrogenic DI: renalinsensitivitytoADH (lithium, demeclocycline, relief of urinaryobstruction, interstitialnephritis, hypercalcemia, andhypokalemia)

Case 1 • A 72-year-old woman from a nursing home presents to the emergency department with a change in her mental state over the past few hours. She has a medical history of coronary artery disease and hypertension. • Her medications include hydrochlorothiazide: 25 mg a day, and aspirin, 80 mg a day. • On physical examination, she has decreased skin turgor, orthostatic hypotension, and disorientation to time, place, and person without focal neurologic deficits. • Initial laboratory tests show a serum sodium level of 110 mmol/L;blood urea nitrogen 65 mg/dL; creatinine 3.6mg/dL and plasma osmolality, 278 mOsm/kg of water. • Her serum sodium level 2 months before admission was 135 mmol/L, and her urine output was 400 mL a day.
