New guidelines on the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of true hypotonic hyponatremia have beenpublished onlinein theEuropean Journal of Endocrinology. The guidelines focus on managing patients, rather than on treating absolute sodium levels, the authors emphasize. "Hyponatremia, defined as a seru...
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder with a prevalence of up to 30% in hospitalized patients. Furthermore, it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Areas covered: This review discusses the efficacy and side effects of the currently available treatment options for ...

Normal natremia No hyponatremia. Aim for natremia at 145 mmol/L The following objectives must be reached (Table 1): Grade A: in case of seizures or status epilepticus, an antiepileptic treatment must be initiated as per national/international guidelines, without any specific recommendations for en...
A panel of United States experts on hyponatremia issued guidelines on the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of hyponatremia in 2007; the guidelines were updated in 2013. [2] Additionally, in 2014, the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, the European Society of Endocrinology, and the ...
In 6105 patients (30% women) BP lowering with an ACE-I reduced secondary stroke risk, with large absolute benefits across groups defined by age and gender.89 Biochemical responses to drugs may be gender-dependent, with women more likely to develop hyponatremia or hypokalemia, and men more ...
Terlipressin can cause hyponatremia, so serum sodium levels should be monitored, especially in patients with poor liver function. Somatostatin and octreotide The half-life of somatostatin is 3–5 m, and the synthetic octapeptide somatostatin, octreotide, has a half-life of 70–90 m. Somatostatin ...

Other abnormal clinical and laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis are cerebromeningeal symptoms, lymph node enlargement, jaundice, edema, skin rash, hepatic enzyme abnormalities, hypoproteinemia, hyponatremia, and elevated very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL↑)/low high-density lipoprotein (HDL...
69, 70, 71 Of note, although sequential nephron blockade can overcome diuretic resistance and can serve as a highly effective therapeutic strategy, it frequently is associated with electrolyte disturbances including hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hyponatremia, and thus electrolytes should be monitored ...
