How would you differentiate a case of water deprivation from SIADH ?

  #2

sad no one answered it

  #3

Um, well...they would have exactly opposite symptoms for one, except for decreased renal output, which would be present in both.

  #4

i didn't knew that grin

  #5

There would be a hemoconcentration in water deprivation!

  #6

Am I right?

  #7

No...your ICF H2O would leave the cells to normalize your plasma osmolality.

  #8

Check plasma osmolaloity
Plasma osmolality is high in water deprivation and low in SIADH

  #9

yes u r right smiling face
