In patients with normal or elevated effective serum osmolality (280 mOsm/kg or greater), pseudohyponatremia should be excluded. In the hypo-osmolar state (serum osmolality less than 280 mOsm/kg), urine osmolality is used to determine whether water excretion is normal or impaired. A urine ...
Antidepressants can be an important tool for treatment of depression but have been associated with a number of rare but serious adverse events, including suicidality (in young adults), hyponatremia, seizures, gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and serotonin syndrome.67,68 The decision to use ...

Faciobrachial dystonic seizures are unique to anti-LGI1 limbic encephalitis and are described as brief tonic contractions of the ipsilateral arm and face/leg, which may be repetitive throughout the day [2]. Ancillary examination reveals hyponatremia in 65% of cases and a thymoma in < 5% [4]...

HYPONATREMIAA recent publication asserted that even low-dose risperidone may induce corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation up to 500ms without drug-induced IKr blockade. We seek to better understand the complexity of any link between risperidone-induced/associated QTc interval prolongation and torsade...
Elevated levels of transaminases and hyponatremia are frequently observed in patients who receive higher doses of these medications. The presence of these side effects led to the search for other drugs that might prove beneficial for patients with TN. One of the 11 articles included in the ...
