Our approach to initial therapy of acutely hyponatremic patients (ie, during the first six hours after recognition of the disturbance) depends upon the presence or absence of symptoms (algorithm 1 and table 1).(Related Pathway(s): Hyponatremia: Initial inpatient management in adults with moderate to severe hyponatremia.) Because of osmotically driven water flow across the blood-brain barrier The diagnostic approach to the patient with hyponatremia will be reviewed here. Many patients with hyponatremia have a single cause, but multiple factors sometimes contribute to the fall in plasma sodium. As an example, when a patient infected with HIV becomes hyponatremic, volume depletion, the syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH But there may be associated symptoms from underlying causes of hypochloremia. Symptoms of electrolyte imbalance include: Fever. Difficulty breathing. Confusion. Swelling‌. Hypochloremia often Hyponatremia is defined as a serum sodium concentration of less than 135 mEq/L but can vary to some extent depending upon the set values of varied laboratories.[1] Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte abnormality caused by an excess of total body water in comparison to that of the total body sodium content. Edelman approved of the fact that serum sodium concentration does not depend on total Hyponatremia is recognized as the most common electrolyte disorder encountered in the clinical setting and is associated with a variety of conditions including dilutional disorders, such as congestive heart failure and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, and depletional disorders, such as diarrhea and vomiting or blood loss. Hyponatremia is one of the most common problems encountered in clinical practice and one of the least-understood because accurate diagnosis and management require some familiarity with water homeostasis physiology, making the topic seemingly complex. The prevalence of hyponatremia depends on the nature of the population studied and the criteria used to define it.
