  1. Hyponatremia and Sodium Handling By Brent Lee Lechner, DO MAJ, MC, USA

  2. Basic Concepts in Urine Evaluation • U Na+ reflects renal perfusion independent of S Na+: • Low U Na+ (<10 to 20 mEq/L) • Renal Perfusion is decreased • Possible Tubular defect • High U Na+ (>20 mEq/L) • Renal Perfusion is increased or normal • Defect in tubule reabsorption • So: If U Na+ elevated in clinical circumstance when renal blood flow is expected : Identify renal reabsorption defective.

  3. Basic Concepts in Urine Evaluation • U OSM reflects H20 removal from tubule fluid: • Normal U OSM (200-1200 mOsm/L) • SG in urine 1.010 = U OSM 300mOm/L • U OSM > 1.5 X S OSM: ADH must be acting on collecting duct – irrespective of S OSM • Physiologic stimuli for ADH release • Increase S OSM/ S Na+ • Decrease intravascular volume • If U OSM/S OSM > 1.5 without increased S OSM or decreased intravascular volume – ADH secretion is non-physiologic – irrespective of urine volume.
