Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia: 2017 Update

In-Depth Review Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia

Exercise-associated hyponatremia has been described after sustained physical exertion during marathons, triathlons, and other endurance athletic events. As these events have become more popular, the incidence of serious hyponatremia has increased and associated fatalities have occurred. The pathogenesis of this condition remains incompletely understood but largely depends on excessive water int...

Nutrition in Ultra-endurance Racing – Aspects of Energy Balance, Fluid Balance and Exercise- Associated Hyponatremia

Ultra-endurance athletes try to extend their limits in performance. In ultra-endurance races, athletes face limits in nutrition regarding both energy intake and fluid metabolism. The purpose of this review is to focus on the decrease in body mass, aspects of energy and fluid balance, and exercise-associated hyponatremia in ultra-endurance performance. An ultraendurance performance lasting 24 ho...

Exercise-associated hyponatremia during winter sports.

Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) is hyponatremia that occurs <or= 24 hours after prolonged physical activity. It is a potentially serious complication of marathons, triathlons, and ultradistance events, and can occur in hot and cold environments. Clear evidence indicates that EAH is a dilutional hyponatremia caused by excessive fluid consumption and the inappropriate release of arginine v...

Current Challenges in the Evaluation and Management of Hyponatremia.

BACKGROUND Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte imbalance that clinicians face on a regular basis. SUMMARY This review aims to discuss four current challenges that can arise when diagnosing and treating hyponatremia: low solute intake, heart failure, exercise-associated hyponatremia, and mild chronic hyponatremia. Low solute intake in a person who already has a urinary concentrating defect wi...
