The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is an etiologically-diverse pathological condition resulting from the elevation in both ectopic and autonomic secretion of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by neoplastic tissue; excessive stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, e.g. in pulmonary diseases, central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities, endocrine glands dysfunction or due to the use of some medications; intensification of renal ADH action by certain medications and action of substances chemically-related to vasopressin. The clinical characteristics of the syndrome are comprised of the presence of inadequately concentrated urine, hyponatremia, and hypo-osmolal blood serum, as well as weight gain. To show the variety of its causes and courses the article presents three cases of patients diagnosed with SIADH in the Department of Internal Medicine. In each of them the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion manifested in clinical laboratory tests in the form of hyponatremia.
Objectives: It is well known, that acidosis-induced dilation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in normonatremia depends on BKCa channel activation in smooth muscle cells of the arterial wall. Our studies on the effect of hyponatremia on the regulation of the rat MCA have demonstrated, that acute hyponatremia causes BKCa channel dysfunction manifested by its reduced sensitivity to agonists. The aim of our present experiments was, therefore, to study whether the response of MCA to acidosis is decreased during hyponatremia and if so, whether BKCa channel activator applied in subthreshold dose restores the response of MCA to lowering of extravascular pH. Method: MCAs were isolated from male Wistar rats brains and placed in the arteriograph chamber filled 3-(N-morpholino) propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) buffered saline solution containing 1% BSA. The vessels were perfused (100 µl/ min) and set at a hydrostatic pressure of 80 mmHg. The MCA images were recorded using a microscope equipped with a camera coupled to a monitor. The measured parameter was the internal diameter of the vessel. Acute hyponatremia was induced in the chamber by decreasing Na+ concentration in the extra- and intravascular fluid from 144 mM to 120 mM. After equilibration of the MCA for 1 hour in normonatremic buffer, responses of this artery to BKCa channel activator (NS1619, 10- 5M) in normo- and hyponatremia, to lowering of extravascular pH from 7.4 to 7.0 in normonatremia, in hyponatremia and in hyponatremia in the presence of NS1619 (10-5M) were studied. Results: NS1619 administration led to MCA dilation by 16 ± 1% (P<0.001) in normonatremia but had no effect on the vessel diameter in hyponatremia. Reducing pH from 7.4 to 7.0 resulted in the dilation of MCA by 18 ± 2% (P<0.001) in normonatremia whereas in hyponatremia constriction of the MCA by 4 ± 2% (P<0.01) in response to reduced pH was observed. The presence of BKCa channel activator restored the response of the MCA to acidosis during hyponatremia. Conclusion: These results confirm our previous findings that during acute hyponatremia, BKCa channels sensitivity in the wall of MCA is reduced. This explains lack of the dilation of this artery to extracellular acidosis in hyponatremia. This study was financially supported by statutory activities of the Mossakowski MRC PAS
