Osmotic diuresis

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are reported to have BP-lowering effect in addition to blood glucose-lowering effect, however, its mechanism is still unknown. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of blood pressure (BP) lowering effects of SGLT2 inhibitors using 24-h urinary collection in obese type 2 diabetes patients.

Figure 46-2 Many causes of hypernatremia are associated with polyuria and a submaximal urine osmolality. The product of the urine volume and osmolality, i.e., the solute excretion rate, is helpful in determining the basis of the polyuria (see above). To maintain a steady state, total solute excretion must equal solute production. As stated above, individuals eating a normal diet generate ~600 mosmol/d. Therefore, daily solute excretion in excess of 750 mosmol defines an osmotic diuresis.

Hypovolemia Etiology True volume depletion, or hypovolemia, generally refers to a state of combined salt and water loss exceeding intake, leading to ECF volume contraction. The loss of Na+ may be renal or extrarenal (Table 46-1). Table 46-1 Causes of Hypovolemia I. ECF volume contracted A. Extrarenal Na+ loss 1. Gastrointestinal (vomiting, nasogastric suction, drainage, fistula, diarrhea) 2. Skin/respiratory (insensible losses, sweat, burns) 3. Hemorrhage B. Renal Na+ and water loss 1. Diuretics 2.
