My heart sinks whenever i look up a medical video and osmosis isn't among the options. yes, osmosis videos are that amazing.

[cakeyouguise]

this is the equivalent of reading a textbook for one hour (in terms of content/my retention of material) and i love you guys for it.

[priscillah.]

The subtle humor in this excellent video is great. "...is, unsurprisingly made up of cells, which is a common trait among living things..." Thank you so much!

[glendeloid]

great, but should add a warning about correcting hyponartimia too rapidly (CPM).

[abidrehmanaziz]

I've struggled with hyponatremia for so long, you just made it crystal clear, thank you!!!

I was diagnosed with SIADH a couple of years ago. I was urinating a lot especially at night so made an appointment to see my doctor. My doctor ordered a routine blood test. A couple of days later my doctor rang and wanted to see me urgently. My sodium level was very low. From the Drs I was required to go to hospital.
I am now under a Endocrinologist and take Urea powder (apparently a very old medication) and my fluids are restricted. I am happy to say my sodium level has risen out of the danger zone. I still require the urea etc and regular blood tests to keep an eye on it.
Your video was very helpful. Thank you.

I was recently diagnosed with SIADH and a small adenoma was found in my pituitary gland, aling with an intussusception in my small bowel. My sodium level went down to 112 and had to spend 3 days in ICU. Every doctor tells me they can't believe I am alive. It's an absolutely awful feeling!

I wish 90% of the physicians and specialists nowadays were as thorough and educated as you (whomever created this video slideshow). I cannot begin to share how many doctors and PA's have missed the correlation bwtn low sodium levels, pituitary/hypothalamus dysfunction, plasma osmolarity, urine osmolality, and the overall symptoms indicative of probable(?) SIADH!!
Keep up the amazing work!!!

Excellent explanation of a difficult concept . Thank you. A summarizing note with a quick differential diagnosis between SIDH, Dehydration and Diabetes insipidus based on serum Na, Serum osmolarity and Urine osmolarity, would be great to help student answering MCQ in exams.

MY GOD THIS CHANNEL IS A BLESSING! INCREDIBLY INFORMATIVE, CONCISE AND IT IS SO SATISFYING WATCH HOW THE DRAWINGS AND LETTERS FORM BEFORE YOUR EYES! JUST AMAZING

[mandaraharikar]

The 'uh-oh' drove home the point. ;)
Great explanation, always thought SIADH was very muddled up, until I watched this. Thanks!

[shayaanp]

Thank you so much Osmosis, you guys are best, you have taught all the difficult topic with so much easy understanding. And all points covered are very clinically relevant and can be used in daily patient care. I am just loving these. Its really helping to brush up my concepts

[johnicochran]

Love all of the Osmosis videos! Best teaching voice out there!

[alfiewhitson]

normal folks : the human body is 70% water SIADH : *spill my beer*

[marcshiz]

Can someone explain the mechanism as to why there is a decreased secretion of aldosterone?

[tubeysr]

A person with SIADH cannot have hypovolemia, dehydration or features of fluid overload. SIADH hyponatremia is Hypo osmolar Euvolemic hyponatremia.
(For diagnostic/exam purposes)

[carolpanjrattan]

Read from 2 med books and wiki Noone explained why there is euvolemia and not hypervolemia.Finally looked up osmosis ❤️

[latisom]

1:23 Cells are a common trait among living things lol!

Osmosis helping me pass peds in a few hours :) cram time :D thank you very much

[shobikabaskaran]
