Clinical review: Practical approach to hyponatraemia and hypernatraemia in critically ill patients
Disturbances in sodium concentration are common in the critically ill patient and associated with increased mortality. The key principle in treatment and prevention is that plasma [Na+] (P-[Na+]) is determined by external water and cation balances. P-[Na+] determines plasma tonicity. An important exception is hyperglycaemia, where P-[Na+] may be reduced despite plasma hypertonicity. The patient...
متن کاملWater balance disorders after neurosurgery: the triphasic response revisited
Water balance disorders after neurosurgery are well recognized, but detailed reports of the triphasic response are scarce. We describe a 55-year-old woman, who developed the triphasic response with severe hyper- and hyponatraemia after resection of a suprasellar meningioma. The case illustrates how sudden and dramatic the changes in water balance after neurosurgery can be. The biochemical profi...
متن کاملBody compartment volumes and composition after giving a vasopressin antagonist: changes are revealed by a tonicity balance.
Hyponatraemia, the most common electrolyte abnormality in hospitalized patients, is associated with an increased mortality rate w1x. This unfavourable outcome probably reflects the severity of the underlying condition unless hyponatraemia was acute and caused brain cell swelling or there was osmotic demyelination induced by overly rapid correction of hyponatraemia w2x. In acute care settings, n...
متن کاملHyponatraemia and hypothyroidism in the elderly--a case report and study.
THE occurrence of hyponatraemia in hypothyroid patients has been well recognised for many years' and attributed to impaired water excretion2 resulting in dilutional hyponatraemia. The cause of this association is not well understood, and has been variously ascribed to relative deficiency of adrenal cortical hormones,3 altered proximal and distal nephron function,24 structural renal abnormalitie...
متن کاملHyponatraemia after Fracture Is Often Caused by Hypovolaemia, Not SIADH
We read with interest the study by Cervellin et al., the largest study of admission hyponatraemia in intracapsular femoral neck fractures to date [1]. This work adds to the substantial and growing body of evidence detailing associations between hyponatraemia and fractures. We agree that hyponatraemia is an important and underappreciated problem in femoral fractures and other fragility fractures...
