Hyponatremia Diagnosis Because the symptoms of hyponatremia can vary so much from person to person, your doctor will probably order blood andurine teststo confirm the diagnosis. Some common tests include: Basic metabolic panel,which includes a sodium blood test that looks at the concentration level ...
Symptoms & Signs Diagnosis Treatment Prevention Prognosis What Is Hyponatremia (Low Sodium)? Hyponatremia, or low blood sodium, can cause severe neurological symptoms. Sodium and water levels in the body are tightly regulated to keep it functioning normally. Sodium concentration is higher in ...
hyponatremia is not only associated with increased morbidity and mortality but also poses a significant financial burden on the U.S. healthcare system. Symptoms of hyponatremia range from mild (including headache and difficulty concentrating), to...

Chronic hyponatremia should be corrected at a rate sufficient to reduce symptoms but not at an excessive rate that would create a risk of osmotic injury. Determination of the etiology of chronic hyponatremia requires analysis of serum osmolality, volume status, and urine osmolality and sodium level....
Symptoms associated with hyponatremia encompass a broad spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from subtle cognitive deficiencies to life-threatening neurological impairment including status epilepticus and brain herniation. Furthermore, hyponatremia is known to be closely associated with an altered prognosis...
Therefore, correction of hyponatremia should take into account the limited capacity of this adaptation mechanism to respond to acute alteration in the serum tonicity, because the degree of brain edema and consequent neurologic symptoms depend as much on the rate and duration of hypotonicity as they ...
