Sodium Disorders = Water Disorders
Key Hormones Maintain Volume and Tonicity
• Kidneys are good at 2 things: Water and Sodium retention
• Na reabsorption  Angiotensin II (AT2) and aldosterone
• Na secretion  ANP
• Water reabsorption  Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH)
AT2 and Aldo  vasoconstriction and Na retention
ATII
ATII
ADH
H2O
H+
Aldo is stimulated by low BP and hyperkalemia
“Aldosterone Paradox”
In hypovolemia  AT2 and Aldo elevated
Aldo

In hyperK  more distal Na b/c only Aldo elevated

ADH responds to tonicity and volume
Rose and Post, Clinical Physiology of ABE Disorders, 5th
edition
But in hypovolemic (or perceived hypovolemic) states,
Tonicity is sacrificed in Defense of Volume
Rose and Post, Clinical Physiology of ABE Disorders, 5th

ANP  natriuresis (in retained renal perfusion)

Of note, Age and Kidney Disease
Impair Dilution and Concentration
• AKI/CKD
• If advanced CKD  UOSm ranges from 200-300 mOsm/kg
• Due to reduced GFR (impaired free water excretion), volume
expansion, urea osmotic diuresis
• Older age
• UOsm range 92 mOsm/kg  400-700 mOsm/kg by 80s
• Due to reduced GFR
• Increased medullary blood flow Karam and Tuazon, Clin Geriatr Med, 2013

Traditional Schema
But, assessing volume is hard
Peacock and Soto, Congest Heart Fail, 2010
…even in volume depleted patients
McGarvey et al, Br J Sports Med, 2010
Even objective measures (for volume) are limited
Kalantari et al, Kidney International, 2013
Newer Schema
US Hyponatremia Recommendations, Verbalis et al, Am J Med, 2013
EU Hyponatremia CPG, Spasovski et al, NDT, 2014
Step 1: Confirm “True/Hypotonic” Hyponatremia
Other effective osmoles
cause water movement
ADH is off
ADH is on
Question is, is it appropriate or
inappropriate based on UrNa
Assess ADH response
(free water
retention or
high free
water intake)
Step 2: Look at urine  assess ADH response
Assess Aldo response
Aldo is off (or on diuretic/CKD)
(High ADH is inappropriately elevated)
Aldo is on
(High ADH appropriate)
Step 3: Look at urine  assess Aldo response
Assess Aldo response
Aldo is off (or on diuretic/CKD)
(High ADH is inappropriately elevated)
Aldo is on
(High ADH appropriate)
Step 4: Check volume
Often Adrenal and Thyroid Function
not checked in Euvolemic Hyponatremia

Prevalence of thyroid disorder/AI in hyponatremia ~3%
Prevalence of hyponatremia in patients with hypopituitarism was 9.6%
In 80.7%, hyponatremia was key to diagnosis
Diker-Cohen et al, Int and Emer Med J, 2018
Miljic et al, Endocrine, 2017
Adrenal insufficiency removes negative
feedback of ADH and CRH release
Urine studies of AI will look like SIADH
Primary AI
- Hypovolemic hypoNa +/- hyperK
- No aldo (UrNa inappropriately high)
- ADH on (Uosm high)
Secondary AI
- Euvolemic hypoNa
- +/- aldo (UrNa variable)
- ADH on (Uosm high)  ECV expansion
 ANP release (UrNa high)
Despite ICPi related AI  SIADH is still most
common cause of hyponatremia in these patients
Seethapathy et al, NDT, 2021
• 2458 pts on ICPi
• 1519 (62%) with hypoNa within 1 year
• 135 (6%) with Na < 125
• 9 cases due to endocrinopathy
• 9 with AI
• 6 with concomitant hypothyroid 7%
35%
20%
Questionable link of hypothyroidism and hypoNa,
but consider if myxedema coma or TSH > 50 mIU/mL
Liamis et al, Eur J Endocrin, 2017
But if it does exist, may be due to low aldosterone
Marks et al, The Lancet, 1978
In 10 patients with myxedema coma, after thyroid repletion…
urine aldosterone excretion and plasma aldosterone levels increased.
SIADH is Diagnosis of Exclusion
Winn Seay et al, AJKD Core Curriculum 2019
Nausea, vomiting, pain
Genetic – X linked recessive GOF T2AVP receptor (OMIM 300539)
Management of Hyponatremia
• If symptomatic
100 mL
3% saline
100 mL
3% saline
100 mL
3% saline
Should raise Na by ~ 6 mEq/L per day
US Hyponatremia Recommendations, Verbalis et al, Am J Med, 2013
EU Hyponatremia CPG, Spasovski et al, NDT, 2014
• If asymptomatic
• If acute  10-12 mEq/L per day
• If chronic 6-8 mEq/L per day
• No mortality benefit to rapid correction
Rate of correction: SLOW
• Risk of ODS
• Na < 110 (caution in 110-120)
• Hypokalemia
• Alcoholism
• Malnutrition
• Liver disease
Kwon and Handler, Curr Opin Cell Biol, 1995
Chronic Management will depend on Mechanism
Approach 1: Reduce water intake
Approach 2a: Dilute urine (water diuresis)
Turn off ADH
- Restore renal perfusion, stop diuretics
- Stop ADH stimulus (pain, nausea)
- Treat AI, TFTs
- Vaptan (antagonize ADH)
- Reduce efficacy of ADH (Lasix)
- Improve urinary dilution (renal disease)
Approach 2b: Solute diuresis
9g salt tabs = 153 mmol (~1L NS)
30 g urea = 500 mmol
Approach 3: Other (saline +/- DDAVP, dialysis)
Dialysis
For SIADH specifically, how effective are therapies?
U/P ratio can predict SIADH mgmt outcome
@NephroMD
Summary of Hyponatremia
• Main mechanisms: high free water intake, impaired free water loss
• Use urine to assess ADH and aldo responses
• Confirm “true” hyponatremia
• SIADH = dx of exclusion (rule out AI and thyroid disorder)
• Mechanism AI: CRH release, loss of neg feedback of ADH
• Mechanism hypothyroidism: unknown, hypo-aldosterone?
• U/P (Furst Equation) can help predict mgmt outcome
• Correct SLOWLY (goal 6-8 mEq/L in 24 hours)

Symptoms
AMS, lethargy,
weakness, irritability,
seizures, coma, thirst
Mechanisms of Hypernatremia
Impaired Free Water Intake
IN ADDITION TO…
Increased salt intake
Hypervolemic
Renal Water Loss
Eu-or Hypovolemic
Free Water Diuresis
Osmotic/Solute
Diuresis
Extrarenal
Hypotonic Fluid
Loss
Hypovolemic
(vomiting, diarrhea, sweating,
respiratory losses)
(diuretic use, urea, glucosuria)
(hypertonic saline, bicarb
amp/1:1 drip, salt poisoning)
Key to assessment is Urine Osm (or sg)
• UrOsm range is 50-1400 mOsm/kg
• Polyuria could be a clue, but this may be red herring in cases of
primary polydipsia or solute diuresis
Last 2 digits of sg x 30 = urine osmolality
If your patient is hyperNa and UrOsm > POsm,
kidneys are trying to retain water
• May have partial DI, but clearly able to retain
some degree of free water…
• Give more free water
• Assess for component of solute diuresis
If your patient is hyperNa and UrOsm < POsm,
then you have diabetes insipidus
Altered metabolism of
vasopressinase in pregnancy
(esp if liver disease)
If no liver disease, may have
subclinical central DI
What if you suspect DI, but normoNa?
Assess for polyuria…

3 Ways to Assess Inappropriate Water Diuresis
Water Deprivation Test
• Correct diagnosis in 80% of pts
Limitations
• Partial DI may have some effect to DDAVP
• Chronic primary polydipsia
• washes out medullary concentration
gradient
• downregulates AQP2
• mimic nephrogenic DI
• Chronic central DI
• downregulate AQP2 (inadequate
DDAVP response)

Nephrogenic: TZD, Cai, NSAID
Rate of correction: FASTER is better
Alshayeb et al, Am J Med Sci, 2011
Chauhan et al, CJASN, 2019
Slow correction with HR 2.63
for 30 day mortality
Mortality rate 18%
Mortality rate 46%
Only 27% normoNa at 72 hours
Summary of Hypernatremia
• Main mechanisms:
• impaired free water access
• + either high salt intake, extrarenal hypotonic fluid loss, or renal water loss
(free v. osmotic)
• Use urine and copeptin to assess for DI
• FASTER correction is better (at last > 6 mEq/L in 24 hours, likely > 12 is
ok)

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Sodium disorders is a broad topic Focus on physiology, diagnosis, and brief overview of management options
  • #3 AII stimulated by low BP (renin release) Aldo stimulated by low BP (AT2) and hyperkalemia ADH stimulated by central osmoregulators ANP inhibits Na reabsorption in medullary collecting tubule, may also reduce Na reabsorption in PT (due to change in hydraulic pressure or DA release) Stimulated by volume expansion ANP also direct vasodilator  increase GFR  more natiuresis (like this is partially the key) via afferent dilation, efferent constriction, but does not interfere with response to chronic volume expansion ANP – direct vasodilator, increases UrNa and water excretion may diminish Na reabsprition in PT vi a deep juxtaglom nephrons

  • #5 Model of regulatory pathways for the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in intercalated cells: hyperkalemia and volume depletion. This figure depicts pathways that involve the differential phosphorylation state of the MR in principal versus intercalated cells (type A-IC; type B-IC), that are likely the key to the distinct responses of these cells in two different scenarios. (A) The first scenario involves conditions when only aldosterone is present (as in hyperkalemia). In this case, hyperkalemia leads to aldosterone secretion while no angiotensin II is present. Here, MR is phosphorylated in intercalated but not in principal cells. These conditions lead to aldosterone-mediated Na+ reabsorption via the epithelial sodium channel in principal cells, which drives K+ secretion also in principal cells. (B) In contrast, when both angiotensin II and aldosterone are present (as in intravascular volume depletion), the MR is dephosphorylated downstream of angiotensin II, and the activity of this receptor is thus restored in intercalated cells. In addition, as a result of aldosterone signaling both pendrin and H+-ATPase are upregulated, and in turn there is a decrease drive for K+ secretion. Modified from reference 69.

  • #40 Free water restriction – not very helpful, requires UOP > fluid intake (so say uosm is fixed at 800 mL/L, making 1L of urine), free water restriction should be 500 mL or less (1/3 did not correct with Na > 130) Effuse – salt tablets (3g/day)without much improvement in SIADH Urea – did help Na correction (normonatremmia in 33%) – dose range from 7.5-90 g/day for 4.5 days Refardt (Jasn) – empa 25 mg + fluid restriction – larger Na increase v. placebo What is the solute load of salt tablets? Molecular weight of sodium chloride is 58.4 so 1 gram is 17 mmol (1 g /58.4 g/mol = 0.017 moles * 1000 mmol/mol) Osm of 9g of salt tabs = 1L of NS = 153 mmol 30g of urea = 500 mmol of urea Furst equation can predict

  • #44 Insipidus: tasteless Diabetes (Greek means to siphon – pass through) Can have mixed osmotic and free water diuresis Electrolyte free water clearance equation If solute diuresis is Na it’s likely appropriate
  • #45 Many algorithms use UrOsm cut offs, but I find that ccomparing to Posm is most helpful In many algorithms re: Uosm cut offs are based on estimated daily solute load of western diet (600-800 mOsm per day) or toniccity related to plasma Hickey hare test – risk of increased ECF  osmotic diuresis which would counteract vasopressin’ effect

  • #54  Restore BP/stabilize patient (with isotonic saline if needed) Give back free water If they are also hypervolemic, may need to give back more free water than free water loss associated with natriuresis Stop free water losses Non-renal: Diarrhea, vomiting, etc Renal: Central: DDAVP Nephrogenic: TZD, acetazolamide, NSAID (can still use desmopressin if suppespect partial nnephrogenic DI), demeclocycline low Na, low protein diet Nephrogenic DI:  Thiazide diuretics: thiazides induce mild hypovolemia which increase proximal tubular reabsorption of sodium and water causing decrease in distal delivery of water to the ADH-sensitive sites in the collecting tubules and reducing the urine output improving polyuria. Also, thiazide increase expression of AQP2 in the collecting duct enhancing water reabsorption. Acetazolamide –  blocking carbonic anhydrase activates tubular glomerular feedback lowering GFR to decrease urine output despite a lack of ADH activity. Cenntral DI – burton p 778 table 24-6
