Hyponatremia feedback loop is overwhelmed by increased fluid intake, 2) the feedback loop malfunctions such that ADH is always "turned on"; 3) the receptors in the kidney are always "open" regardless of there being no signal from ADH to be open; or 4) there is an increased ADH even though there is no normal stimulus (elevated serum sodium) for ADH to be increased. Hyponatremia occurs in one of two ways: either the osmoreceptor-aquaporin feedback loop is "overwhelmed", or it is "interrupted". If it is interrupted, it is either "related" or "not related" to ADH. If the feedback system is overwhelmed, this
Blood fractionation immune globulin. Human serum albumin prepared by this process is used in some vaccines, for treating burn victims, and other medical applications. Blood fractionation Blood fractionation is the process of fractionating whole blood, or separating it into its component parts. This is typically done by centrifuging the blood. The resulting components are: Serum separation tubes (SSTs) are tubes used in phlebotomy containing a silicone gel; when centrifuged the silicone gel forms a layer on top of the buffy coat, allowing the blood serum to be removed more effectively for testing and related purposes. Plasma proteins are separated by using the
