PATIENT Female, 14 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Multiple pituitary hormone deficiency Symptoms: Hyponatremia Medication: - Clinical Procedure: Endovascular embolectomy Specialty: Endocrinology and Metabolic Objective: PATIENT complains/malpractice. BACKGROUND Hyponatremia is one of the most common electrolyte disorders. Depending on the patient's hydration status, hyponatremia can be classified as hypovo...
Thiazide-induced hyponatremia is one of the main causes of decreased sodium levels in elderly individuals. This review presents the current evidence regarding the thiazide-associated hyponatremia. Thiazide-associated hyponatremia is observed mainly in patients with certain risk factors such as those receiving large doses of thiazides, having much comorbidity, such as heart failure, liver diseas...
Hyponatremia is a relatively common electrolyte disorder. Although severe acute hyponatremia following coronary angiography is rare, potentially lethal neurologic manifestations may result. We describe a patient with severe, symptomatic hyponatremia, an unusual complication of coronary angiography. Lack of familiarity with contrast media-related hyponatremia caused a delay in diagnosis and ther...
Dear Editor, The review by Aimee Lee, MD, and associates mentions various risks for falls in the elderly population. However, an important point is missing. Emerging literature shows that chronic hyponatremia increases the adjusted odds ratio for falls and is now recognized as an important factor for increased falls and fractures in the elderly. This is true even for mild hyponatremia, which is...
BACKGROUND Patients with moderate to severe hypothyroidism and mainly patients with myxedema may exhibit reduced sodium levels (<135 mmol/L). SUMMARY The aim of this short review is the presentation of the mechanisms of hyponatremia and of the available data regarding its implications and treatment in patients with hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is one of the causes of hyponatremia, thus thyr...
OBJECTIVES Terlipressin is safely used for acute variceal bleeding. However, side effects, such as hyponatremia, although very rare, can occur. We investigated the development of hyponatremia in cirrhotic patients who had acute variceal bleeding treated with terlipressin and the identification of the risk factors associated with the development of hyponatremia. DESIGN AND METHODS This retrosp...
BACKGROUND Hyponatremia is the most commonly encountered electrolyte disorder in children. In our country the epidemiology of hospital acquired hyponatremia has hardly ever been explored whereas the administration of hypotonic IV fluids is widely practiced here. Therefore we pioneered to conduct this study to determine the frequency of hospital acquired hyponatremia. METHODS This was a cross ...
Hyponatremia (clinically defined as serum sodium levels of <135 meq/L) is considered to be the most common electrolyte abnormality seen in general hospital patients [1]. Hyponatremia is noted as a side effect associated with various psychotropic medications, especially the antidepressants. The risk of hyponatremia varies from one antidepressant to other. Evidence suggests that compared to other...
OBJECTIVES To determine the risk factors for hyponatremia in patients with epilepsy treated with oxcarbazepine (OXC). METHODS Seventy-three adult patients with epilepsy aged older than 17 years who received OXC therapy were enrolled in this study. Patients who had hyponatremia due to any etiology before OXC therapy and patients receiving OXC therapy for nonepileptic disorders were excluded fr...
Hyponatremia defined as a plasma sodium concentration of less than 135 mmol/L is a very common disorder, occurring in hospitalized patients. Hyponatremia often results from an increase in circulating arginine vasopressin (AVP) levels and/or increased renal sensitivity to AVP, combined with an increased intake of free water. Hyponatremia is subdivided into three groups, depending on clinical his...
