Cerebral salt wasting and elevated brain natriuretic peptide levels after traumatic brain injury: 2 case reports.
BACKGROUND Historically, hyponatremia in patients with varying brain diseases was termed cerebral salt wasting. Hyponatremia secondary to CSW was reported to be a distinct entity from SIADH, with the distinguishing feature of decreased extracellular fluid volume. Brain natriuretic peptide, a peptide with natriuretic, vasorelaxant, and aldosterone-inhibiting properties, was recently implicated i...
متن کاملCerebral Salt-Wasting Syndrome Caused by Minor Head Injury
A 34-year-old woman was admitted to hospital after sustaining a head injury in a motor vehicle accident (day 1). No signs of neurological deficit, skull fracture, brain contusion, or intracranial bleeding were evident. She was discharged without symptoms on day 4. However, headache and nausea worsened on day 8, at which time serum sodium level was noted to be 121 mEq/L. Treatment with sodium ch...
متن کاملCerebral salt wasting following traumatic brain injury
SUMMARY Hyponatraemia is the most commonly encountered electrolyte disturbance in neurological high dependency and intensive care units. Cerebral salt wasting (CSW) is the most elusive and challenging of the causes of hyponatraemia, and it is vital to distinguish it from the more familiar syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Managing CSW requires correction of the intravascul...
متن کاملCerebral salt wasting syndrome: a case report.
A case of hyponatraemia associated with subarachnoid haemorrhage is presented. The provisional diagnosis of an inappropriate antidiuresis was made and treatment with fluid restriction was instituted. However the patient continued to deteriorate as the diuresis continued and the hyponatraemia worsened, resulting in hypovolaema. The salt wasting syndrome was subsequently diagnosed and saline and ...
متن کاملCerebral salt-wasting syndrome due to hemorrhagic brain infarction: a case report
INTRODUCTION Cerebral salt-wasting syndrome is a condition featuring hyponatremia and dehydration caused by head injury, operation on the brain, subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain tumor and so on. However, there are a few reports of cerebral salt-wasting syndrome caused by cerebral infarction. We describe a patient with cerebral infarction who developed cerebral salt-wasting syndrome in the course ...
