No significant changes in mean arterial pressure, serum potassium, serum glucose, and blood urea nitrogen or serum creatinine were observed. The data show that tolvaptan is effective for the treatment of hyponatremia and may produce differing responses in disparate patient groups....

The primary problems associated with forced diuresis include potential fluid overload and electrolyte abnormalities. The practitioner should monitor for hyponatremia, hypokalemia, water intoxication, pulmonary edema, and cerebral edema. Additionally, some toxins such as tricyclic antidepressants and many sedativ...

for clinical management because they are not often apparent until serum sodium levels fall to less than 120 mmol/L, and their severity is directly related to the rapidity of onset and magnitude of hyponatremia. If not promptly recognized, hyponatremia may manifest as the effects of cerebral edema...
