SIADH and Reset

Osmostat

Diagnostic criteria of SIADH (adapted from [Ellison and Berl, 2007]).


SIADH, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secr

Diagnostic Criteria

Hyponatremia < 135 mmol/liter together with decreased effective


serum osmolality < 275 mOsm/kg
Spontaneous urinary osmolality > 100 mOsm/kg
Presence of a compatible clinical history, such as brain disorder,
pulmonary disease, malignancy, typical drug
Absence of edematous disease (cardiac failure, liver cirrhosis,
nephrotic syndrome) and of plasma volume depletion (i.e. absence of
pathologic orthostatic changes, low internal jugular venous pulses,
dryness of axillae)
Spontaneous urinary sodium concentration > 40 mmol/liter, unless
taking diuretics or on a severe salt restriction
Normal adrenal and thyroid function
Plasma uric acid < 200 mol/liter; fractional urate excretion > 12%
(normal 5%);
plasma urea < 4.5 mmol/liter; plasma creatinine < 80 mol/liter
Failure to correct hyponatremia by infusion of 0.9% NaCl

Treatment of SIADH
Indirect modalities
Fluid restriction
Treatment of underlying pathology
Hypertonic saline
Loop diuretics
Urea
Democlycline, lithium
Hemodialysis
Direct modalities
Vaptan treatment

Reset Osmostat
The "reset osmostat" is a cause of hyponatremia, sometimes
considered a variant of SIADH, in which the kidney retains its
ability to appropriately concentrate and dilute the urine;
however, the threshold for ADH secretion is reset downward.
That is, instead of ADH being secreted with the serum
osmolality increases beyond 280-285 mOsm/kg as in most
individuals, it is secreted at a lower value.

Diagnosing reset osmostat is a diagnosis of exclusion.


Individuals must be euvolemic, and a thorough exclusion of
other causes of euvolemic hyponatremia (e.g., hypothyroidism,
cortisol deficiency, medications, etc) must take place.

A key feature of reset osmostat is that individuals


should be able to concentrate and dilute the urine
appropriately.
Thus, a water challenge should result in a dilute urine
(e.g., less than 100 mOsm/kg) and a water deprivation
test should result in a concentrated urine.
Reset osmostat classically occurs in neurologic
conditions such as epilepsy and paraplegia, in addition
to pregnancy, malignancy, and malnutrition
