creatinine (CR) 0.7-1.4 mg/dL
BUN normal range 10-20 mg/dL
3.5-5.5 g/dL
serum albumin
nutritional status
detect for atherosclerosis
Triglycerides

decrease in secretion of ADH (or vasopressin) by
the pituitary
What is diabetes inspidus (DI)?
Effects of DI diuresis increases; dehydration
give IV fluids, electrolyte replacement, DDVAP (desmopressin) to prevent further
DI treatment
dehydration
increased urine output, increased plasma osmolarity, urine specific gravity 1.001-
