"Do you have any mnemonics on vasopressin related disorders? I always mix up diabetes insipidus and syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone!"
Sorry for replying so late. You are probably in your second year med school because once you get old, you can never mix up the two. Anyway, I made these mini mnemonics for ya, hope they help! :)
SIADH: So much hormone!
Such
Immense
Anti
Diuretic
Hormone
Secretion
DI: Dumb or Disappered hormone!
Diabetes insipidus
Deficient ADH (Central DI) or ADH Doesn't work (Nephrogenic DI)
Dilute urine (< 300 mosm/L)
Here's an extra mnemonic kinda thingy?
ADH:
Aquaporin is inserted into cells of the
Distal tubule which leads to water reabsorption and
Highly concentrated urine (High osmolality)
NSAIDS can cause inappropriate antidiuresis.
Mnemonic: NSAIDS aid ADH. Also "SIAD" for SIADH and "SAID" for NSAID are anagrams.
Did you know?
A primary deficiency of plasma ADH can result from increased metabolism by an N-terminal aminopeptidase produced by the placenta. It is referred to as gestational DI because the signs and symptoms manifest during pregnancy and usually remit after delivery.
That's all!
