Solute characteristics

When multiple solutes are added to a solvent, the liquid undergoes a variety of changes from the original liquid. The presence of one or more solutes in the solvent will alter the interaction between the molecules in the solvent and reduce the space of motion between them. Therefore, the ability to convert from liquid to solid (or liquid to gas) will also change. These changes, we collectively refer to the colligative properties of the solute, which are determined by the total number of particles of the solute present in the solution. For a simple chemical such as urea, the effect is related to the total moles of urea in the solution: for a chemical compound that can be decomposed, such as sodium chloride, both sodium and chlorine will The dependency feature works. Therefore, in theory, the effect we get in sodium chloride solution is twice as large as that obtained in urea (but if the decomposition is not complete, the effect should be twice as large), and these The actual quality of the particles is irrelevant to this. The effect produced by a small molecule and a large molecule can be the same. Table 1 lists the four basic changes in the presence of solutes in solution. Any change in one of these properties can be used to measure the total molar concentration of the solute dissolved in any solution. For example, when the freezing point depression property is applied, if the freezing point is lowered by 0.93 ° C, it is found that 0.5 mol of total solute is present in the solution.

Osmotic pressure

Osmotic pressure refers to the pressure of a semipermeable membrane that resists the passage of a solvent through a solvent that allows only the passage of solvent without allowing the solute to pass. When such a semipermeable membrane is present, its natural tendency is for the solvent to pass through the semipermeable membrane to achieve equilibrium of the solute molecules on either side of the membrane. In order to prevent the movement of this solvent, a pressure is required (see Figure 1). Conversely, we can assume that it is this pressure that drives the solvent through the semipermeable membrane. One mole of solute is present in one liter of solvent to produce an osmole. The measurement of the osmotic concentration is usually expressed in terms of volume osmolarity or osmolality. The volume osmolality refers to the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. Since the volume of the solution varies with the amount of added solute, temperature and pressure, the volumetric osmolality is difficult to measure. The osmolality refers to the number of millimoles of solute particles present per kg of solvent. Since the amount of solvent is constant under constant temperature and pressure, the weight osmolality is easily evaluated and thus becomes a commonly used term. Technically, the weight osmolality should be measured by penetration, but the measurement of osmotic pressure is not so easy. Since the osmotic pressure is proportional to the total molar concentration of the solute, there is a positive correlation between osmotic pressure and freezing point depression or vapor pressure depression. Therefore, the measurement of other dependency characteristics is usually expressed in terms of weight osmolality, although it is technically not precise enough.

Figure 1. Osmotic pressure is due to the difference in particle concentration on both sides of a semi-permeable membrane, which allows the passage of water molecules (rather than particulate matter), the size of which is irrelevant. In this case, the movement of water molecules from left to right stops when the particles on both sides reach equilibrium.

The relationship between the number of characteristics and the specific gravity

The specific gravity and the refractive index are indicators of the solid content of a solution compared to water. The specific gravity refers to the comparison of the weight of a solution with the weight of water, while the refractive index is a description of a solution compared to water. The ability to refract light. If the molecular weight and refractive index of all solutes are similar, then these measures are directly proportional to their osmotic pressure or other dependence properties. In normal urine, the main solute is the relatively constant concentration of metabolites urea and creatinine, and its specific gravity is closely related to the refractive index and the osmolality of the weight. If there is a macromolecular substance, the relationship between the three will be divergent. An increase in the concentration of glucose or protein in the urine increases the proportion of urine in a proportional manner. The specific gravity and refractive index of blood are closely related to its protein concentration. In many laboratories, the refractive index is usually used to measure the concentration of total protein to deduct the relationship between protein and electrolyte. These measured parameters of serum are insensitive to changes in the total molar concentration of solute, and only with the weight osmolality. Show a little related.

Relationship between ionic strength and dependence characteristics

A newer technique for estimating total solute concentration is the urine test strip method, which reacts to changes in urine ionic strength. The main substances in the ionization of urine are electrolytes (sodium and potassium), while some metabolites such as urea and creatinine and some abnormal substances such as glucose and protein are uncharged. Therefore, these substances cannot be measured by this method. In normal urine, the relationship between the weight osmolality and specific gravity and ionic strength is extremely close. However, under pathological conditions, since the ionic strength is not directly proportional to the change in total solute concentration, an estimate of the osmolality provided by these experiments is usually inaccurate. In addition, the test strip changes the pH (with The proportion of the report is inversely proportional to the change in protein concentration (proportional to the reported proportion). Finally, the number of inpatients is unnecessarily increased due to misleading ion intensity measurements.

Direct measurement of weight osmolality

Since the osmolality estimated from specific gravity, refractive index, and ionic strength is generally inaccurate, direct measurement should be used when it is necessary to know the exact total solute concentration. Because the boiling point method and the osmotic pressure method are time consuming and technically relatively difficult, it is common to directly measure the weight osmolality using the freezing point reduction method or the steaming point reduction method, both of which are in clinical laboratories. It can be seen that the two methods provide reliable measurement parameters of the osmolality of serum and urine. However, if a volatile substance (such as alcohol or other volatile substances) is present in the sample, the vapor pressure gauge cannot show a change in the weight osmolality. As can be seen from the table below, the osmotic pressure gap is extremely useful for screening patients who are suspected of having an excessive alcohol intake, but if a vapor meter is used to measure the osmolality, there is no indication of osmotic pressure. If the laboratory needs to do an alcohol screening test, the Freezing Point Reducer provides the only direct measurement of the weight osmolality.

II. Physiological regulation of body fluids
Normal balance of water and solutes
Type of water and its composition
The human body is made up of a lot of water molecules. Approximately 50%-60% of the body weight of an average body weight is actually composed of water (because the fat is actually non-hydrated, the fatter one has less water). The water in and out of the human body consists of the following three aspects (see Table 3).
Table 3: Composition of body fluids
Body fluid type % total water main cation main anion protein concentration
Intracellular fluid 50-65 K+Mg2+ PO43- very high
Intravascular fluid 10-12 Na+, K+, Ca2+ Cl-, HCO- high
Interstitial fluid 25-40 Na+, K+, Ca2+ Cl-, HCO- very low
Figure 2: Pressure differential controls the exchange of intracorporeal and interstitial fluids. At the end of the artery, high hydrostatic pressure forces the liquid through the capillary semipermeable membrane, condensing the circulating protein, increasing the colloid osmotic pressure. When the blood reaches the vein end, the low hydrostatic pressure and the high colloid osmotic pressure draw water back into the blood vessel. An increase in hydrostatic pressure or a decrease in plasma protein and an increase in body fluids in the interstitial space is called edema.

Exchange between body fluids

The osmotic pressure is formed by the difference in the amount of protein and electrolyte on both sides of the cell membrane and is the most important factor regulating the movement of water molecules between cells and blood vessels.

The hydrostatic pressure pushes the fluid outward from the capillary arterial end, resulting in loss of fluid in the blood vessel, an increase in protein concentration, and an increase in hydrostatic pressure between tissues. Therefore, at the venous end of the capillary, the hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial space is slightly higher than the venous pressure. An osmotic effect produced by the protein is called colloid oncotic pressure to draw water molecules from the intercellular space back into the blood vessel. As shown in Table 2, the combination of low hydrostatic pressure and high capillary colloid osmotic pressure is important to control the balance of intravascular and interstitial fluids.

Physiological response of human body to changes in plasma osmolality

Although the body can get water balance from the intake of water, the body loses about 2-3 liters of water every day, most of which is lost from the urine. The average human body loses 1 liter of water per day from sweat, feces, and breathing (not sensitive to water loss), so the body must compensate for these losses through water intake, which would otherwise lead to dehydration. The human body has a very complex conditioning system, and in most cases, the weight osmolality or plasma volume balances water loss and intake.

Osmotic regulator

The hypothalamus (a regulatory center at the base of the brain) responds to an increase in the osmolality of less than 1% (the response is usually elevated serum sodium) and activates the following two protective responses.

Dry thirst sensor: responds to an increase in osmotic pressure, thereby increasing the body's water intake, reducing the weight permeation molar concentration, and returning the body to a normal state. On a relatively minor aspect, the thirst sensor can also respond to a reduction in the vascular volume. The thirst reaction leads to water intake being one of the most important factors in maintaining the body's normal water-electrolyte balance. For patients with neurological disorders, the elderly, newborns, and those who do not have the ability to drink water (including infants), this signal usually does not respond, so they are prone to dehydration.

Anti-urea (ADH) hypothalamus also produces a hormone called anti-urea that responds to elevated osmolality, causing increased permeability of the kidney collecting tube and increasing the osmolality of urine. Trying to return plasma permeability to normal.

Although ADH can reduce the loss of water from urine, it can only reduce the total water in the body by about 1-1.5 liters per day.

Increase urinary sodium, reduce blood volume; reduce aldosterone.
Capacity regulator

Although the body's water is regulated by the permeability every day, if the body needs to retain normal plasma volume, the body can avoid the signal from the osmotic sensor. The volume regulator responds to changes in 1% plasma permeability, but it is less sensitive than the permeability regulator, yet they are very potent.

Antidiuretic (ADH): Although changes in weight osmolality usually control the production of ADH, when the blood volume drops by about 5-10%, the hypothalamus can still increase the secretion of ADH, when the blood volume drops by more than 10-15%. When the plasma osmolality decreases, the hypothalamus can produce a large amount of ADH. Clearly, maintaining a moderate volume of blood vessels is more important than maintaining a normal plasma weight osmolality.

Renin/Angiotensin/Aldosterone: Renin is secreted when renal blood flow is reduced or the amount of renal distal tubule sodium is reduced. Renin catalyzes the production of angiotensin I, which indirectly causes the production of angiotensin II (AGII). The latter is an effective blood vessel tone substance that increases blood flow to the kidneys. In addition, AGII is the most effective aldosterone stimulator, and aldosterone can enhance the retention of sodium by the exchange of sodium ions with potassium ions and hydrogen ions in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidney. Through this binding mechanism, renin increases blood flow by increasing total sodium in the body and arterial resistance.

Anterior atrial urea (AND): An increase in anterior chamber myocardial contraction stimulates the production of AND. AND can cause renal blood to be diverted to the nephron of the renal cortex, minimizing sodium reabsorption. In addition, AND inhibits the adrenal gland to secrete adrenaline. These two effects reduce plasma volume and total body sodium.

Kidney regulation of water and solute concentrations

Since many of the hormones regulate the target organs primarily in the kidneys, normal kidney function is the basic guarantee for maintaining normal water and electrolyte balance. Since the first step in kidney secretion is glomerular filtration, and it is a non-selective filtration, substances that are harmful to the body are excreted into the urine. A normal person excretes approximately 180 liters of water and 25,000 mmol of sodium into the urine per day. The function of the renal tubules is to regulate the excretion of water and electrolytes to maintain normal blood volume. For a normal kidney, most of the reabsorption of sodium, chlorine and water is done by the osmotic gradient, which requires a disease-free kidney to change the height found in the central part of the kidney. The osmolality of the weight, the regulation of the urine electrolyte and water is ultimately achieved by the synergistic action of aldosterone and anti-urea. When aldosterone is deficient, approximately 3-5% of the sodium filtered into the urine will be lost, while ADH deficiency can cause 10% of the water to be lost. Figure 3 shows this phenomenon.
Figure 3: The renal tubule is divided into multiple sections to control water and solute status. Initially, most of the solutes are absorbed by the distal convoluted tubule (a), about 2/3 of the sodium, and water and chlorine are reabsorbed. At Henry's (b) section, the water is further absorbed and the increase in sodium concentration causes the weight permeation molarity to increase by 1200 mosm/kg. In the next stage (C), sodium and chlorine are reabsorbed, and there is almost no potassium in the urine with a relatively low osmolality. The proximal convoluted tubule (d) reabsorbs sodium under the action of aldosterone, thereby exchanging potassium or hydrogen ions. The collecting tube (e) reabsorbs water under the action of ADH to concentrate the urine.

"normal" value of urine solute concentration

Whenever the laboratory is required to provide "normal" values ​​for urine solute concentration and osmolality, renal function is best understood by the word "appropriate". For example, for a dehydrated patient, if the urine is found to be extremely dilute and the urine has a osmolality of 50, it should be considered as an inappropriate, although this can be done in a normal person. See you in the middle. Similarly, if the patient's urine sodium concentration is 100 mmol/L, it should also be considered inappropriate. In our own laboratory, we do not provide a normal reference value for the osmolality and electrolyte concentration of urine.

Concentration and dilution

The kidneys can excrete urine of different concentrations through the function of the renal tubules. In the case of dehydration, ADH stimulates the maximum storage of water so that the urine has a osmolality of 1200 mosm/kg. When the water intake is excessive, the maximum dilution can produce a osmolality as small as 50 mosm/kg. These values ​​can vary in children and with age; those older than 65 years of age cannot achieve a maximum concentration of 700 mosm/kg, while the maximum dilution is usually not less than 100-150 mosm/kg.

Urine electrolyte

In normal people, the excretion of urine electrolytes is related to salt intake. Total urinary sodium excretion in a normal individual is a good indicator of sodium intake, which has been used as a tool to monitor sodium intake in hypertensive patients. However, when the plasma volume changes, the hormone stimulates the kidneys to alter the excretion of sodium to achieve a rebalancing state. In a patient with a decreased blood volume, it is typically shown that when the urinary sodium concentration is less than 10 mmol/L, aldosterone acts on the renal tubules, reducing the loss of urinary sodium that has been filtered by the glomerulus to less than 0.5%. When the blood volume is too large, the excretion of urinary sodium will increase significantly, up to 5% or more of the filtered sodium urinary sodium, and the stool sodium concentration is greater than 2 times or more of the blood sodium concentration.

III. Testing of solute status

Penetration gap

Osmotic Gap is a theoretical concept (similar to anion gap) that was originally used as an indicator of the accuracy of an instrument for checking the osmolality. The osmotic gap is the difference between the actual osmolality and the measured osmolality, which is calculated from the molar concentration of all major solutes present in the serum. The two commonly used formulas for calculating the osmolality of the norm are as follows:
Formula 1
[glucose] [urea nitrogen] [ethanol]
1.86 x Na+ + 18 + 2.8 + 3.8

0. 93
Formula 2
2 x Na+ + [glucose] + [urea nitrogen] + [ethanol]
18 2.8 3.8
Only about 93% of the serum is actually water, the rest are fats and proteins suspended in water, and the osmotically active substance is dissolved in water rather than in plasma. Since 93% of the serum is water, the total result is divided by 0.93, and 1.86 x Na+ becomes 2 x Na+, and the conversion factor converts glucose and urea nitrogen from mg/dl to mmol/L. Although the expected value of the ethanol conversion factor is 4.6, the effect of ethanol is not only the solute but also the solvent, and the conversion factor of 3.8 is actually determined by observing the effect of ethanol in the solution. The permeation gap can be as large as 10, and this difference is due to the presence of other osmotically active substances that cannot be considered in the above two formulas.

The osmotic gap suggests the presence of a small molar amount of small molecule compound. For practical purposes, it is believed that the substances causing the osmotic gap are only alcohol (methanol, isopropanol, ethylene and propylene glycol), acetone, acetylsalicylic acid and paraldehyde. Ethanol can also be produced if it cannot be measured in the laboratory and is not considered in the above two formulas. Only nonionic substances can affect the osmotic gap, for example, acid decomposes and binds to one base, directly replacing HCO3; since we have multiplied the anion by NA+ and multiplied by 2, resulting in an increase in "undetermined" anions Therefore, no infiltration gap is created. The presence or absence of osmotic gaps affects the methods used to measure the osmolality of the past. Since most of the substances that cause the osmotic gap are volatile (except aspirin), the osmometer used to measure the evaporation point reduction does not detect the presence of these substances. Fortunately, the labs in most hospitals in our country use the freezing point reduction method, which accurately measures the presence of these substances.

Free water removal rate

Free water clearance is a theoretical concept that refers to increasing the ability of the kidney to excrete to drain more or less water, rather than the amount of permeation that the kidney itself needs to treat by glomerular filtration. . It reflects the ability of the renal tubule to modulate and dilute due to changes in the patient's blood volume. The free water removal rate is the difference between the total water removal rate (urine volume) and the required water removal rate (permeation clearance rate), which is defined by the following formula:

C water = C urine - C penetration = V - U penetration x V = V x (1 - U penetration)
--------- --------
P infiltration P penetration

If the kidney does not have a net weight absorption of water, but excretes urine with the same molar concentration of blood permeation, then the free water removal rate is zero. In the case of a decrease in blood volume, the normal response is to increase the secretion of anti-urea, resulting in the excretion of a concentrated urine having a lower moisture content than blood, and thus the free water clearance rate is negative. Similarly, excessive intake of water inhibits the secretion of ADH, leading to excretion of diluted urine, where free water clearance is positive. If all conditioning systems and kidneys work properly, the urine solute concentration will be appropriate for the condition of the body fluid.

The determination of the weight osmolality is both simple and relatively economical. The problem we usually encounter is about its use in the clinic. Below we will give a detailed introduction to its application, and in the following chapters, it will be introduced in the form of case discussion.

Clinical application of serum weight osmolality

Screening for ingestion toxicity (osmotic gap = molar concentration of solute)
·Alcohol (methanol, isopropanol)
·Glycerin (ethylene, propylene glycol)

Monitoring of the concentration of osmotically active substances · Evaluation of mannitol · hyponatremia · Elimination of hypoallergenic blood sodium · Presence of other osmotic substances (glycine, glucose)

Screening for ingestion poisoning

Perhaps the most useful point of weight osmolality is for the assessment of patients suspected of taking toxic substances. If the toxin is present in millimolar concentrations, the weight osmolality (detection of all uncharged toxins by freezing point or detection of non-volatile toxins with a vapor pressure gauge) will increase. The calculated permeation gap (see Equations 1 and 2) as the difference between the measured and calculated weight osmolality provides an estimate of the molar concentration of any additional material. Among these toxins, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, ethylene, propylene glycol glycerin, salicylic acid (aspirin and related substances) and triacetyl acetyl can be obtained from the osmolality by weight. If these substances can be quantified by a quantitative method, the mg/dL concentration can be calculated by multiplying the permeation gap by a factor (molecular weight/10).

Monitoring of osmotic active substance concentration

In the treatment of patients with cerebral edema, osmotically active substances such as mannitol are usually used to aspirate the water in the cells to reduce edema. Since there is no easy way to understand the concentration of mannitol, it has been suggested to use osmotic gaps to estimate the concentration of mannitol, the purpose of which is to maintain the osmotic gap at 10 mosm/kg. Here it is shown that it is necessary to choose a method with good precision to measure the weight osmolality and electrolyte. If the penetration gap reaches 50 mosm/kg, it is possible to damage the kidneys.

Assessment of hyponatremia

Because sodium (along with its anion) is the primary substance involved in the formation of serum osmolality, most patients with hyponatremia also have a reduced osmolality. Sometimes hyponatremia is not associated with hyponatremia, which is commonly seen in patients with elevated serum glucose because glucose allows water to leave the cell fluid to dilute serum electrolytes. The osmolality of diabetics often increases, but sometimes it is within the normal range. A rough estimate is that for every 100 mg/dL of glucose, the sodium concentration is reduced by 1.6-2.0 mmol/L. This increases the osmolality by 5.6 mosm/kg for glucose and 3.2-4.0 mosm/kg for sodium, so the allowable range of variation is 100 mmol per liter. The sodium concentration of L will increase by 1.5-2.5 mosm/kg. An increase above this range suggests that excessive water loss is due to the presence of high sodium or other osmotically active substances, and below this range suggests excessive sodium loss.

Although the serum osmolality is normal, other osmotically active substances such as mannitol (mentioned above) and glycine may cause the same phenomenon. Glycine is a component of a perfusate used by urologists for clear vision when undergoing prostatectomy (TURP) through the urethra. Because it is perfused under pressure, if the doctor cuts into the sinus (sinus sinus) In the prostate is extremely rich, glycine may be inhaled into the blood circulation. In about 5-10% of cases, a large amount of perfusate is inhaled to dilute serum sodium. Although this liquid is harmless to the patient, the increase in liquid and glycine can cause other problems. This amount of liquid inhalation and the rate of metabolism of glycine can be estimated by the osmotic gap.

Finally, since most methods measure sodium in plasma rather than sodium in water (usually regulated by osmotic sensors), serum sodium levels tend to be falsely reduced in patients with reduced plasma water levels. If serum sodium is measured using a wet spectrophotometer or ion selective electrode method (most instruments do not require dilution of the sample), this phenomenon occurs in patients with a significant increase in total protein or lipids. Since the weight osmolality is related to the solute concentration in the water, the osmolality for such a patient may also be normal.

Urine weight osmolality

Since the osmolality is the most accurate method for measuring total solute concentration, it provides the best estimate of the function of the kidney's concentrating function, which is necessary to evaluate changes in kidney function. Urine weight osmolality is the measurement of total urine solutes, which are mainly metabolic wastes such as creatinine urea (about 80% of total solutes in normal urine). In patients with kidney disease, the proportion of total solute in the urine is increased by electrolytes. For some people with too much blood in the blood (such as glucose, ethanol), the amount of these substances in the urine can exceed 30% of the total solute. For this reason, urine osmolality should generally be considered in conjunction with urinary electrolytes and urinary creatinine.

Urine weight osmolality application

Assessment of increased urine output

· Primary thirst (low blood, low urine weight permeation molar concentration)
·Diabetes insipidus (high blood, low urine weight permeation molar concentration)
· Diabetes (high blood, high urine weight osmolality)

Assessment of decreased urine output

· Dehydration (high urine weight osmolality, free water clearance is negative)
· Acute tubular injury (free water clearance is zero)

Renal acidification defect assessment

·Urine infiltration gap = NH4 + excretion

Increased urine output

In most patients, an increase in urine output is caused by one of three causes of polyuria. The most common is due to excessive intake of water, which becomes polydipsia, which is a sense of water (heart-related thirst) caused by psychological disorders, or due to dry mouth or inhibition. Hiccup caused a lot of water (primary thirst). In both types of thirst, urine osmolality is at a maximum dilution capacity, typically less than 100 mosmo/kg.

Excessive intake of water can also be caused by a lack of ADH (central diabetes insipidus) or a weak response of the kidney to ADH (renal diabetes insipidus, usually caused by drugs such as lithium). In both forms, the osmolality of urine can be extremely reduced, but the serum osmolality of patients with diabetes insipidus is slightly elevated, while the osmolality of serum weight in patients with thirst is decreased. of. Traditional teaching will describe the use of a test called “water ban” to evaluate such patients. In theory, normal people will respond to urine by a osmolality of more than 300 mosmo/kg, but urine collapse Patients with symptoms do not respond to this. Distinguishing between central and renal diabetes insipidus is an increase in urinary weight osmolality observed after ADH ingestion. In fact, prolonged urine output can impair the maximum responsiveness of the kidney to ADH. As a result, in both types of polyuria, the observations are often very similar. Repeat this test after correcting polyuria (use ADH if necessary) and the results are easier to interpret.

In diabetic patients, an increase in glucose in the urine causes loss of water, and this patient exhibits an increase in the osmolality of typical urine and serum.

Reduced urine output

The reduction in urine output can be due to problems with the kidney itself or the body is trying to retain water and electrolytes. In most cases, acute urine loss due to kidney disease is caused by acute tubular damage (acute tubular necrosis, ie ATN, tubular necrosis due to reduced drug, toxin or blood flow; or tissue Interglomerulonephritis; inflammation caused by drugs).

When the renal tubules are damaged, the urine osmolality is close to the plasma concentration (about 290 mosmo/kg) and the free water clearance is close to zero. However, many medical and clinical pathology textbooks have examined the detection of urine electrolytes and urinary sodium excretion. In ATN patients, the free water clearance rate is abnormal one day earlier than the sodium test. In fact, sodium excretion usually remains low for 2-3 days after the onset of ATN.

If the reduction in urine output is due to a decrease in renal blood flow, the body will attempt to retain water and sodium to reduce further reductions in blood flow. In this case, the osmolality of the urine will be extremely high (although sodium excretion is usually maintained at a low level within 2-3 days after the onset of ATN). Urine weight osmolality and electrolyte elevation are helpful in the assessment of patients suspected of having abnormal secretion of ADH, which has a tendency to have a high urinary weight osmolality, and the osmolality during the water ban is not normal. The rise will not fall after the water is taken. This dynamic test observation is necessary for clinical diagnosis.

Evaluation of urine acidification

Under normal circumstances, the main acid excreted by the kidneys is NH4+. In some kidney diseases, the kidneys do not maximize acid or reabsorb hydrogen carbonate; such renal insufficiency is collectively referred to as renal tubular acidosis. This patient's excretion of ammonia ions is reduced. Since it is not easy to directly measure ammonia, some indirect measurements have been proposed. One of the most accurate methods is the calculation of the urine permeation gap. The urine permeation gap is expressed by the following formula:

Example of weight osmolality - [2 x (Na+ + K+) + urea + glucose]
——— ———
2.8 18

Fecal weight permeation molar concentration:

The detection of osmolality of fecal weight is sometimes very useful for the evaluation of patients with diarrhea. In normal feces, most of the small molecules are reabsorbed (except for electrolytes), so most of the osmotically active substances in the feces are derived from the electrolyte. The osmotic clearance of feces is the difference between the measured osmolality and the calculated osmolality (defined as the sum of Na and K ions in feces multiplied by 2) or, more accurately, the serum weight permeation concentration.

Separation of secretions from osmotic diarrhea

Osmotic diarrhea

·There are unabsorbed solutes, abuse of laxatives, malabsorption

Secretory diarrhea

· Damage to the intestinal mucosa by toxins (inflammation, infection, drugs)

Most diarrhea is caused by infection or bacterial toxins and can return to normal in a short time. The osmolality of fecal weight has little effect on such patients. If diarrhea lasts longer than 1 week and fecal culture is negative, the cause of diarrhea is more difficult to determine. Gastroenterologists describe diarrhea as two types: osmotic diarrhea and secretory diarrhea. In osmotic diarrhea, some unabsorbed material is present in the feces, preventing normal absorption of water (such as the working principle of laxatives). In such patients, a typical performance is a molar osmolality greater than 50 mosm/kg. Osmotic diarrhea can be seen in patients who use excessive amounts of laxatives, as well as in patients with nutritional malabsorption.

If endogenous intestinal mucosal damage causes water and electrolyte malabsorption, then secretory diarrhea occurs, which is common in those mechanical diseases of the intestine, such as inflammation, tumors, and decreased blood flow.

An important consideration in measuring the osmolality of fecal weight is that bacteria produce osmotically active substances during metabolism, so the measurement of osmolality of fecal weight must be completed within 30 minutes after sample collection, or the sample should be stored before analysis. In the refrigerator.

男性白人,43岁,有抑郁病史,家人在睡房发现其大量酗酒,最后家人将其送到急诊室就医。就诊时神志不清,在后来数小时里一直处于昏迷状态。急诊化验结果显示葡萄糖115mg/dL,BUN 9mg/dL,Na 145mmol/L,K 4.2mmol/L,Cl 112mmol/L,CO2 7mmol/L,血清重量渗透摩尔浓度383mosm/kg,血乙醇阴性。动脉血气分析结果:pH7.12,pCO2 34mmHg。尿液毒理分析实验结果显示血清挥发性物质阴性。计算了其血清重量渗透摩尔浓度和渗透间隙。在血清挥发性物质阴性、血乙醇阴性和尿毒理检查阴性的情况下。血清重量渗透摩尔浓度有何临床意义?

讨论

最初的实验结果提示存在着阴离子间隙26mmol/L,以及渗透间隙大于80,后者并非由乙醇所引起。这相对局限了对该病历的鉴别诊断,由中毒而引起的昏迷的临床表现更进一步局限了临床的鉴别诊断,提示摄入酒精或乙二醇的可能性。用太空尖端气相色谱进行的血液挥发性物质的筛选精确地测量了以下物质,酮体和酒精,但却不能检测到挥发极小的乙二醇。同样,毒理实验室筛选分析的是可用非极化性溶剂抽提的物质,但一些高度极化性物质,如酒精,乙二醇和鸦片葡糖酸却不能测到。实验室最重要的一点是要提供有关所有怀疑的毒素的信息,虽然尽管使用了尖端色谱仪和气相质谱仪对血液和尿液进行所谓的“筛选”试验,但还是使某些物质诸如重金属和乙二醇漏检。在此病例中,立即检测重量渗透摩尔浓度引起怀疑该病人是乙烯、丙二醇甘油或甲醇中毒,尽管在此之前挥发性物质的化验报告或毒理筛选试验报告已经发出。

大多数实验室都有的一些辅助试验能帮助缩小鉴别诊断的范围。丙二醇甘油的毒性最常发生的是住院病人的肾功能不全,因为此物质是作为许多药物的溶剂来使用,正常情况下是由肾脏排泄。个别案例可见于食物中毒或一些不明来源的中毒。丙二醇甘油的主要代谢产物是乳酸,后者在中毒病例中可见明显升高。乙烯甘油存在于防冻剂中,中毒通常是因蓄意造成,但是,有时它可污染禁用的“月光”白酒。它可代谢生成乙醛酸和草酸,可进行尿液草酸钙结晶的检查,如果发现草酸钙单水结晶中度升高,这种椭圆型的结晶可与比较典型的“信封”型草酸钙二水结晶鉴别开,是乙烯甘油中毒的较典型的特征。收集了做乙烯甘油分析的样品后,病人开始了乙醇点滴,补充碳酸,并进行透析(这类中毒的标准疗法)。大约4小时后,病人恢复意识,并确认在入院前,因其家属收走所有的酒而会摄入prostone防冻剂以试图灌醉自己。大约3小时后,乙烯甘油的化验结果出来了,浓度为500mg/dL,远远超出致死水平。病人继续透析12小时,直至其渗透间隙下降到零为止。

这个病例中,重量渗透摩尔浓度帮助了诊断,并提供了一个治疗方案。立即的怀疑诊断使得病人获得恰当的治疗,恢复迅速,且未发生肾、肺或心脏的损害。病人三天后出院。由于渗透摩尔浓度结果能够即时提供,因此它对于那些摄入致死毒物者是一项最快及最佳的筛选试验。

病例2——低血钠的评估

急诊化验室的负责人注意到手术室的一个病人的化验结果与头天晚上的化验结果有比较大的变化(见下表),重新抽血化验,其结果与第二次结果(即刚才的结果)相同,而两天前的抽血化验结果则与第一次(即头天晚上)标本结果相同,两次均估计和计算了重量渗透浓度和渗透间隙。从以上情况发现了什么?

18/2,3pm 112 4.7 93 16 16 1.3 150 280
讨论

在此病例中,有几个方面需要考虑,第二次结果与第一次结果比较,钠、氯和阴离子间隙(第一次是15,第二次是3)结果相差很大,而这些结果在正常人当中天与天之间的变化是很小的。第二次的渗透间隙非常大为42,而第一次渗透间隙正常为零。相对正常的重量渗透摩尔浓度和低血钠提示样本中有可能存在颗粒物质(如蛋白质、脂肪)的升高。样本无脂浊现象,并且其术前血清总蛋白和白蛋白均正常。由于病人没有摄入过量的蛋白,因此可以排除蛋白增高的可能性。另外,重量渗透摩尔浓度的轻微下降提示血液中总溶质的改变,而这种改变不会因蛋白质或脂肪所致。第二种可能是前后两份标本来自不同的个体,但是,同一病人的术前两次结果与本次结果相同,且第二次来自手术室的样本的钠是109。第三种可能,也是最大的可能是,病人摄入了低渗药物溶液,该溶液是渗透活性(轻微地稀释了钠和降低了渗透摩尔浓度)和含有未测之阳离子(降低阴离子间隙)。虽然有好几种药物如甘露醇是渗透活性的,但只有少许几种是带正电荷的。最大可能引起这种情况的是氨基酸甘氨酸。

渗透摩尔浓度相对较高的甘氨酸溶液(200至220之间)通常是进行膀胱、前列腺或子宫组织切除术中用来作为一种灌注液使用的。这一程序是在视野下用电子烙器进行,用灌注液冲洗表面以便能分辨异常组织,防止损坏正常组织。由于灌注液必须在压力下灌注入器官,因此可能通过开放的血管被吸入。水是不能用作这一用途的,因为水的吸入可严重降低渗透摩尔浓度并引起溶血。电解质溶液如生理盐水因可导电也不能用作这一用途。由于这些原因,甘氨酸溶液被用来作灌注用途了。

因为子宫内膜的切除常与小量的甘氨酸的吸入有关,因此,在前列腺切除术(TURF)过程中有可能因甘氨酸的吸入引起严重的低血钠症。在切除前列腺时,可向上进行60升的灌注。如果外科医生意外地切到静脉窦(前列腺中的大血管)的话,大量的灌注液有可能被吸收。由于该病人的渗透摩尔浓度正常,虽然有低血钠症,但这不会引起太大的麻烦。大量的液体可导致肺水肿和损害心功能。甘氨酸本身或氨的产生可改变脑的功能,且在大量吸入甘氨酸的情况下病人可发生昏迷。血钠的下降提示了灌注液吸入量的多少。

5—10%的TURF的病人因吸入灌注液而使血清钠降低到125以下。渗透间隙可提示甘氨酸的存在,这一参数还可在术后用来观察甘氨酸的清除情况。

病例3——低血钠的评估

男性,32岁,曾有过便血一次,有酗酒史,上一年曾在车祸中头部受伤。化验结果显示血清钠115mmol/L。进一步询问病人主诉经常感觉“干渴”,且每天需饮水数杯以解渴。问:低钠的原因是什么?其中一位医生提出:该患者是否患有尿崩症或ADH分泌不足?以下结果是否有助于这些疾病的诊断?

讨论

在本病例中,病人有明显的低血钠症和低血氯症,并伴有尿素氮的严重下降和低重量渗透摩尔浓度。这些结果提示病人存在潴留,这可能是由于抗利尿素的分泌过度或摄入过多的水而引起。尿崩症可导致低尿重量渗透摩尔浓度和高尿量,并可致病人慢性干渴。但是,干渴又可由渗透摩尔浓度的升高所引发,但病人的渗透摩尔浓度却很低。血清的稀释和尿表现为最大程度的稀释确定了水中毒的诊断。该病人采用了禁水疗法,24小时过后,血清钠回升到133,尿液重量渗透摩尔浓度升到223,病人给予出院。原发性干渴症,如本例病人的情况,是一种相对常见的疾病。我们每年可遇到5-10例这类病人。在我本人的经验中,这类干渴症多于常见报道的那种心因性引起的摄水过量的情况。大多数病人对禁水疗法有反应,但是,这当中的一些病人曾因同样情况多次入院,提示这些病人也可能存在心因性干渴症引起的摄水过量。

病例4----低血钠的评估

一天晚上,检验科负责人发现一病人的血清钠降到超出与前一周的结果比较的允许范围。于是用Beckman CX7对该标本重新分析,并同时在Ektachem分析仪上进行检查,除钠结果外,其他结果均相同。再次用两台仪器重新分析该标本,结果如前。再分析多个其他病人的样本,没有发现两台分析仪的结果有差异。测量的血清重量渗透摩尔浓度是302。用以上两台仪器的结果所得的渗透间隙是什么?导致出现这种结果的原因是什么?该病人的血清钠有无异常?
仪器Na K Cl CO2 BUN Cr Glu
CX7 129 5 107 19 33 2 152
Ektachem 142 5.1 107 20 33 21 455
如病例2一样,该病人的本次结果与前一次相比有很大差异。但是,在这种情况下,不同仪器的同一分析结果存在着差异。在以CX-7上,钠是用离子选择电极(ISE)稀释法分析的。而在Ektachem上使用的是ISE的直接测定法,标本未作稀释。前者所得的渗透摩尔浓度为24,而后者为2。由于后者的钠较前者高,所以本例情况的可能解释是,病人的血清中存在着溶质的升高。因为标本没有脂浊,所以最大的可能是由于蛋白质的升高所致。最终病人发现是患有多发性骨髓瘤,其总蛋白为13.8g/dl。

因为血清脂浊是引起这一现象的最常见原因,许多实验室如果是使用ISE稀释法或火焰光度法作电解质分析的话,在分析前都通常预先清除脂浊。因为血清只含有86%的水,所以该病人的“血清”钠实际上是降低的。由于人体是对水中的钠进行调节,因此该患者没有钠代谢的异常。

病例5----低血钠的评估

一个74岁男性患者在二月份曾在一次心肌梗塞,住院一个月后出现气短,发现患了肺炎,且对治疗不敏感,引起怀疑还有其他的原因存在。该病人进食很少,并一直靠静脉点滴维持到三月份后插入营养管。此时发现病人有低钠血症,尽管通过管道加大盐的注入量,但其血清钠依然不见升高。为什么该病人的尿液和血清的重量渗透摩尔浓度有如此表现?这种情况的可能病因是什么?

讨论

病人血清重量渗透摩尔浓度低提示存在真正的钠异常。其尿液渗透摩尔浓度表示标本与血清相比严重浓缩,提示存在ADH的作用。

对于ADH分泌增加的病人,第一步要了解这种分泌是否正常。因为ADH分泌增加的主要调节因素是血浆渗透压的升高,而渗透压低的患者只有通过降低血管内容量来增加这一激素的分泌。当病人怀疑为血容量下降时,临床医生通常是通过发现有无低血压来寻找异常的依据。但是,直至血容量下降到总容量的5-15时,才会表现出低血压的症状。由于在脱水的情况下,尿素氮是随尿中的水分被重吸收的,所以尿素氮和肌酐的比值随血容量的下降而升高(导致一种选择性地降低尿素氮消除率和改变正常的BUN/Cr比值)。

从住院之日起,该病人的血清尿素氨和肌酐逐渐下降,并伴有低BUN/Cr比值。这种模式常见于摄水过量的病人,见病例3中的讨论。低血钠症、低尿素氮、低肌酐和低BUN/Cr比值是在无适当的刺激下出现ADH分泌过量的依据,因此可诊断为抗利尿素分泌异常综合症(SIADH)。

对于该患者来说有两种可能性的致病原因:肺炎以及前次的心梗。增大盐的摄入量对于SIADH病人的治疗是无效的,因为增加血管血容量可刺激ADH的分泌,进一步增加了尿钠的流失。对于轻微的SIADH,禁水疗法可有效的控制低钠血症。对于较为严重的患者,如该病例患者,或者如果综合症是由于恶性肿瘤所引起的话,有必要使用药物来抗衡ADH对肾脏的作用。当病人对禁水疗法没有反应时,最广泛使用的药物是抗生素和去甲金霉素。

病例6----多尿的评估

54岁男性,因躁忧性精神病而收住入精神病科。该患者最近接受了碳酸锂治疗。其主诉常常干渴,每日尿量超过8升。内分泌专家被邀会诊以排除肾性尿崩朋症,医生要求化验室协助化验结果的演绎。问尿量增多的原因是什么?哪一次有低尿渗透摩尔浓度?引起此种情况的最大可能是什么?

本例的实验结果与病例3非常相似,事实上,这是另一种水中毒的例子,本例是由于心理原因引起的摄水过量。

在该病例中,最初的判断是基于尿液的排泄量而非血清钠的基础上。尿排泄量的增多通常是由于以下两种原因之一所引起的:水中毒或尿崩症。在这两种疾病中,出于ADH分泌或反应下降而使尿液的渗透摩尔浓度降低。在水中毒中(如本例患者),干渴是一种反应异常的表现,因为其血容量是正常的。在尿崩症中,ADH或缺乏(中枢性尿崩症)或无效(肾性尿崩症)。锂可引起肾性尿崩症,本例中精神病医先怀疑的正是这点。

对于本病例的患者,简单的禁水疗法可纠正低血钠症和减少尿排泄量。但是在许多病案中,并不是那么容易作出诊断。过多的大量摄水通过肾脏能使尿液浓度降低。如果这种情况发生的话,禁水也许不能立即减少尿排泄量,病人则可出现脱水。在这种情形下,通常会诊断为尿崩症,而病人则肯定需要接受ADH的治疗。因此在禁水一段时间后通常有必要重复化验,特别是对那些最初为低血清钠的病人(如本例病人),必要时采用ADH治疗。

讨论
正如病例6中讨论到的一样,尿量增大并伴尿液重量渗透摩尔浓度的下降是由两种原因之一所致。在本例中,因为病人是处于昏迷状态,我们可以从可能性中排除由心因性的多尿症,那么病人在手术中被注入过多的补液成为一种可能的因素,但这并不能解释血清钠和渗透摩尔浓度的升高。此病例的这种结果引致尿崩症的诊断
头部受伤史是一个典型的例子,大约有30%的病案在脑部受伤后出现尿崩症。立即给病人予ADH治疗,通常(每2小时)尿液渗透摩尔浓度的测量用来决定最初的用药计量并以此检测病人的治疗情况,其目的是要保持尿液渗透摩尔浓度在300以上(只要病人接受点滴),并保持尿量少于60毫升/小时。当因外伤引起的尿崩症得到控制时,该病人一直接受此种治疗直至受伤后一个月死亡。
在诊断不如上面这个病人这么明显的话,通常需作禁水实验,这是非常危险的,需要非常小心的监测病人以防发生脱水,应每小时进行一次尿液的重量渗透摩尔浓度试验,且该试验须坚持到尿液的重量渗透摩尔浓度超过500,或病人脱水量超过其总体重的3%而尿液重量渗透摩尔浓度没有明显的提高时为止。一些病人被识别为“部分尿崩症”,他们的尿液重量渗透摩尔浓度上升到500,但没达到最大浓度,但正如前面所谈到的,由于最大浓缩能力可受到年龄和其他肾脏疾病的影响,因此这种情况是较难诊断的。如果由于因为尿液的重量渗透摩尔浓度不能回升而影响试验的完成的话,可给予ADH看肾脏是否有反应。但是,如病例6中提到的,如果病程较长的话,对ADH的反应的演绎是比较困难的。
病例8----少尿的评估
35岁男性,有酗酒史,因胃口不佳及腹泻入院,被诊断患有肝硬化。因血培养阳性而用万古霉素进行治疗。用药4天后,病人出现少尿,每日尿量少于300毫升。于是进行了尿液电解质和重量渗透摩尔浓度的检查。问尿量减少的鉴别诊断是什么?在该病例中如何应用实验室的结果在多种可能性中进行判断?

在尿量减少的病人中,应考虑两种主要的诊断:⑴肾脏的血流量减少,通常称为肾前性氮血症;⑵急性肾小管损伤,通常因急性肾小管的损害(通常是“急性肾小管坏死”)而致。在本病例中,病史与以上任何一种诊断都相符。
肝硬化常与大多数肾小球所在之肾脏的外周部位的血容量减少有关,这将使肾脏功能减弱,被称作“肝肾综合症”。在任何肾前氮血症中,肾脏都试图通过肾素的产生,最后肾上腺素的分泌来调节血流量,这将引起量大程度的钠滞留。血容量的减少导致ADH的分泌,使尿液浓缩。
但是在急性肾小管坏死(ATN)中,肾小管内源性的改变使其无法对任何一种激素作出反应。ATH的常见病因是休克和药物对肾小管的损害,包括氨基糖 和诸如万古霉素等。最初的典型表现是肾脏对ADH 失去反应,自由水消除率下降至零,导致尿液的重量渗透摩尔浓度接近血的浓度。出于近曲小管不能对钠进行重吸收,因此钠的排泄在24小时内升高。如果肾上腺素在此之前就已升高的话,远曲小管对钠的重吸收下降,可导致48-72小时内尿钠的排泄降低。
在最初的检查中,低尿钠的排泄为临床医生提示了肾前性氮血症的存在。但是,此病案的低自由水清除率提示了急性肾小管坏死。次日,尿量仍然很少,但尿钠的排泄升高,病人继续出现少尿现象,最终需要进行血液透析约一个月,直至其肾功能改进到不需要透析为止。病人的肾功能再没能恢复到正常。该病例向我们显示了自由水清除率提示早期ATH的重要性。
病例9----少尿的评估
74岁男性,有胰岛素依赖型糖尿病、高血压和“心脏问题”病史,在一月下旬因肠穿孔而做急诊手术修复,进行了回肠切开。病人住进重症监护室,至三月上旬转入普通病区,并开始进食。三月十五日,当发现血清磷偏低时,开始给病人补磷。三月十九日因高血钾症而向临床病理学家咨询,因高血钾而停止了补磷。病人的肾功能继续恶化,三月二十五日再次咨询病理学家,于是建议进行尿电解质和重量渗透摩尔浓度的检测。25日的尿液尿素氮结果是315
