SIADH
• Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH Secretion
• Definition: levels of ADH are inappropriately elevated compared to
body’s low osmolality, and ADH levels are not suppressed by further decreases in
blood osmolality.
SIADH Causes
• Irritation of CNSmeningitis, encephalitis, brain tumors, brain
hemorrhage, hypoxic insult, trauma, brain abscess, Guillain Barre, hydrocephalus
• Pulmonary disorders pneumonia, asthma, positive end
expiratory pressure ventilation, CF, TB, pneumothorax
SIADH causes
• Drugs: vincristine, vinblastine, opiates, carbamazepime, cyclophosphamide
• Unregulated tumor production of ADH-like peptides: oat cell lung carcinoma for example, Ewings sarcoma, carcinoma of duodenum, pancreas, thymus
SIADH function of ADH
• Antidiuretic hormone = vasopressin
• ADH is made in the supra-optic nuclei in the hypothalamus, stored in the posterior pituitary
• Normally released into the bloodstream when osmo-receptors detect high plasma osmolality
SIADH function of ADH
• At the kidney, attaches to receptors in the collecting ducts, opens up water channels
• Water is passively reabsorbed along the kidney’s medullary concentration gradient
SIADHsigns and symptoms
• Decreased / low urine output• Signs of hyponatremia: lethargy, apathy,
disorientation, muscle cramps, anorexia, agitation
• Signs of water toxicity: nausea, vomiting, personality changes, confused, combative
• If Na < 110 mEq/L, seizures, bulbar palsies, hypothermia, stupor, coma
SIADHlab values
• Serum Na < 135 (Na is diluted by excessive free water re-absorption)
• Serum osmolality low, normal is ~ 270• Urine Na is inappropriately high, >20
mmol/L, actually losing Na in urine instead of retaining it
SIADHlab values
• Urine osmolality is inappropriately high, can range b/t 300-1400
mosm/L
• CVP is high from free water retention
SIADHTreatment
• Fluid restriction, ¾ maintenance• If symptomatic, may actually need to replace
NaCl, can use hypertonic saline for example: 300cc/m2 of 1 ½ % NS
• Diuretics such as lasix • Treat underlying disorder, for example usually
resolves after removal of lung carcinomas
SIADHtreatment cont…
• Demeclochlorotetracycline, blocks ADH receptors in the renal collecting ducts
• In severe cases, hemodialysis• Warning, if increase Na too fast, at risk
for pontine myelinolysis• Max correction of 15mEq in 24 hours
DI = Diabetes Insipidus
• Definition: inability to effectively conserve urinary water
• Central: ADH not made or not released in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis
• Nephrogenic: ADH is released but not detected by the receptors in the kidney collecting ducts, often a sex-linked recessive condition, also due to renal pathology, electrolyte disorders, drugs
Central DIcauses
• Head trauma• Brain neoplasms• Congenital CNS defects• CNS infections• CNS hypoxia• ADH secretion also decreased by certain
drugs: EtOh, demerol, MSO4, dilantin, barbiturates, glucocorticoids
DI• Make sure distinguish DI from conditions in which
the presence of non-absorbable, osmotically active solutes in the renal tubules prevent water re-absorption.
• Example: glucose loss in the urine of diabetics will decrease the tubule- medullary concentration gradient and even though ADH is there, water won’t get passively reabsorbed
Central DISigns/symptoms
• Polyuria• Dehydration, may not be readily apparent b/c
of hyper-osmolarity, fluid shifts from cells to intravascular spaces and maintains blood pressure, CVP
• Weight loss is a better measure of fluid status
Central DILab values
• Hypernatremia, Na >150-160• High serum osmolality (normal 270)• Urine Na < 20 mmol/L • Low urine osmolality (very dilute urine)
Central DITreatment
• Increase po or IV free H20 consumption, use hypotonic saline
• Volume replacement cc for cc• Vasopressin/ ADH administration (bolus or
drip 1.5-2.5 mU/kg/hr)• Of course, treat underlying cause
Cerebral Salt Wasting
Causes: • CNS damage• Closed head injury• CNS surgery• CNS tumors• CNS infections, meningitis
Cerebral Salt Wasting• Signs/symptoms:
–Polyuria–Wt loss–Dehydration/hypovolemia–Hypotension–Low CVP
Cerebral Salt Wasting• Lab values:
– Hyponatremia due to excessive renal Na loss– High urine Na, > 20 mmol/L– Increased plasma ANP, atrial natriuretic peptide,
b/c of low volume status– Inappropriately normal or low aldosterone and
ADH levels despite high ANP
Cerebral Salt Wasting
• Treatment:–Volume for volume replacement of
urine Na losses –When dc’d from hospital, most will still
need oral Na supplementation for a period of time
