Differentiate between hypovolemic, euvolemic, and hypervolemic hyponatremia 2. Recommend appropriate changes in nutrition support formulations when hyponatremia occurs 3. Identify drug-induced causes of hypo- and hypernatremia No sodium for you! Presentation Outline . Overview of sodium and water . Dehydration vs. Volume Depletion . Water requirements & Equations . Hyponatremia • Hypotonic o Hypovolemic o Euvolemic o Hypervolemic . Hypernatremia • Hypovolemic • Euvolemic • Hypervolemic Sodium and Fluid Balance . Helpful hint: total body sodium determines volume status, not sodium status . Examples of this concept • Hypervolemic – too much volume • Hypovolemic – too little volume • Euvolemic – normal volume Water Distribution . Total body water content varies from 50-70% of body weight • Dependent on lean body mass: fat ratio o Fat water content is ~10% compared to ~75% for muscle mass .
