  2. Hypernatremia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypernatremia

    Hypernatremia due to diabetes insipidus as a result of a brain disorder, may be treated with the medication desmopressin. [1] If the diabetes insipidus is due to kidney problems the medication causing the problem may need to be stopped or the underlying electrolyte disturbance corrected. [1] [7] Hypernatremia affects 0.3–1% of people in ...

  3. High anion gap metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_anion_gap_metabolic...

    High anion gap metabolic acidosis is a form of metabolic acidosis characterized by a high anion gap (a medical value based on the concentrations of ions in a patient's serum). Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid , or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body.

  4. Primary aldosteronism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_aldosteronism

    In summary, hyperaldosteronism causes hypernatremia, hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis. [ 13 ] Finer notes on aldosterone include the fact that it stimulates sodium-potassium ATPase in muscle cells , increasing intracellular potassium and also increases sodium reabsorption all along the intestine and nephron , possibly due to widespread ...

    The Guideline Development Group then finalises the recommendations and the National Collaboration Centre produces the final guideline. This is submitted to NICE to formally approve the guideline and issue the guidance to the NHS. [citation needed] To date NICE has produced more than 200 different guidelines. [27]

    Increase in sodium retention and potassium excretion leads to hypernatremia and hypokalemia [7] Increase in hemoglobin concentration, likely due to hindrance of the ingestion of red blood cell by macrophage or other phagocyte. [1] Increased urinary uric acid [8] Increased urinary calcium and hypocalcemia [9] Alkalosis [10] Leukocytosis [11]

  8. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndrome_of_inappropriate...

    This keeps serum sodium concentration – a proxy for solute concentration – at normal levels, prevents hypernatremia and turns off the osmoreceptors. [7] Specifically, when the serum sodium rises above 142 mEq/L, ADH secretion is maximal (and thirst is stimulated as well); when it is below 135 mEq/L, there is no secretion. [8]
