which is a life-threatening condition unless it is treated and fluids are replaced. Pathophysiology: The mechanisms potentially responsible for viral diarrhea include lysis of enterocytes‚ interference with the brush border function that leads to malabsorption of electrolytes‚ stimulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)‚ and carbohydrate malabsorption. For bacterial gastroenteritis‚ the pathophysiology involves the elaboration of toxin by enterotoxigenic pathogens and the invasion and inflammation

The primary intervention of SIADH includes fluid restriction. In case of acute episodes of SIADH‚ diuretics such as IV Mannitol and IV Furosemide may be given to promote diuresis and free water clearance. In severe cases‚ a hypertonic infusion such as 3% NaCl is administered intravenously for 36-48 hours or until the lab results shows an improved Na level. (Porth‚ 2009). Physiological action and possible complications: Furosemide works by blocking the absorption of sodium‚ chloride‚ and water
