While there is treat- ment for sodium retention with a low-sodium diet and diuretics there is no medical therapy for dilu- tional hyponatremia other than fluid restriction. The possible efficacy of the recently discovered aquaretic drugs (i.e., drugs that selectively increase solute-free water ...
Severe symptomatic hyponatremia: treatment and outcome. A study of 64 cases. A serum sodium concentration of 110 mmol/L or less is thought to be extremely dangerous; mortality rates of 33% to 86% have been cited. Experience at the University of Rochester School of Medicine does not ...
Generally, low sodium is asymptomatic (does not produce symptoms), when it is mild or related to your diet. Itcan take weeks or monthsfor you to experience the effects of low salt in your diet—and these effects can be corrected by just one day of normal salt intake. How do I test m...
The more protracted operation of this mechanism is illustrated by the progressive water retention and hyponatremia frequently observed in patients on a low sodium diet and unrestricted water intake during the terminal phase of congestive failure. A fatal outcome may be anticipated unless the cardiac ...
Hyponatremia is a medical term which refers to a dangerously low level of sodium in the body. Sodium, along with other electrolytes, is a crucial mineral in human nutrition that helps to transport water through the body, and helps to regulate the nerves and major organs such as the heart. ...
CONCLUSIONS: Hyponatremia is a common occurrence in nursing home residents and may be a consequence of abnormal ADH secretion resulting from CNS disease. Exposure to increased fluid intake, or to a low sodium tube-feeding diet, can lead to the onset of hyponatremia or to a worsening of an ...
WHEN water retention is induced in a normal person by the administration of exogenous antidiuretic hormone, the serum sodium falls, and the renal excretion of sodium increases.1 Inappropriate release of endogenous vasopressin has been suggested as the cause of hyponatremia and renal salt wasting in ...

In true hyponatremia, the plasma osmolality is low (<280 mOsm/kg), and the pathophysiologic processes are caused by (1) loss of both plasma sodium and water (sodium losses exceeding water losses), (2) increase in plasma water (without edema), or (3) increase in both total body water...
This situation occurs with an increase in body weight, as well as clinical signs of volume overload (edema, venous congestion, and hypertension) (5) extracellular fluid sodium deficit due to a low intake (low sodium diet) and/or excess sodium loss (excessive ultrafiltration). Clinical clues ...
