What can cause ADH to become excreted?
Hyper osmolality (water loss) higher the osmolality, more ADH secreted.
What can cause hypernatremia?
Water loss (hyper osmolality)
Hyperosmolality
The loss of water also makes the blood more concentrated than normal
Hyperkalemia can cause
Low cell excitability, can lead to paralysis or fatal cardiac arrhythmias
Hypokalemia can cause
Increased cell excitability leading to muscle weakness
A decrease in what electrolyte can cause tetany?
Magnesium
A value of _____ is indicative of hyponatremia
<135
A value of ___ is indicative of hypernatremia and _____ can indicate a mortality rate of 60-75%
> 145 and >160
What values could indicate GI symptoms in Hyponatremia?
125-130 mmol/L
What are the values for K+
3.5-5.0
Muscle weakness in hyperkalemia can be indicated by a value of ____ and cardiac arrest can be indicated by ______
8mmol/L an 10 mmol/l
Function of chloride
Maintaining osmolality, blood volume, and electric neutrality during gas exchange
_____ is the range for chloride
98-108 mmol/L
Lower levels of this electrolyte causes renal diseases an diabetic ketoacidosis as well as vomiting
Chloride
Increased levels of this electrolyte are associated with dehydration, renal tubular acidosis, and metabolic acidosis with prolonged diarrhea and salicyte intoxication
Chloride
