and he's not crying b/c he's hungry....he's crying b/c he's THIRSTY
Now the vignette has been solved
these r urinary lab values. so na could be 163 in DI. ????? is it possible?
yes ximfoom it is he's loosing everything but more water than sodium, at some point things begin to screw up... kidney will try to continue keeping Na in b/c that allows for water to be pulled inside but it doesn't matter it will still leak out b/c of the DI. So NaU can be high (water brings Na out inevitably) but despite that dinsity is still very low b/c when you compare vol vs concentration there's way much free water there...Am I making sense to you? I know this for sure had a couple of patients like this so I'm telling you first hand!
bdj thanks for the response. thanks for email also
