“…The rapid shrinkage of the brain may be responsible for subdural and intracranial haemorrhage seen in experimental animals [15,37] and dehy drated hypernatraemic infants [14,30,37]. Intracranial haemorrhage may also be asso ciated with hypernatraemia in elderly sub jects but it is not often possible to determine whether hypernatraemia preceded the haem orrhage [40].…”

“…The various causes and clinical features of hypernatremia have been ex tensively reviewed in the past [1], Mortality may be high, especially in infants, in whom mass accidental salt poisoning has been described [2], Although infrequent, iatrogenic hypernatremia may occur during peritoneal [3] or hemodialysis [4], The following report shows the unusual simultaneous intro duction of acute, severe hypernatremia, in 6 maintenance hemodialysis patients.…”

A distinctive symptom pattern was observed during theaccidental, simultaneous occurrence of severe hypernatremia in 6 hemodialysis patients. Thirst, hot flushes, headache, nausea and vomiting, weakness and disorientation accurred in all cases in a similar sequence. Low back and abdominal pain, severe dyspnea and hypoacusia followed in one third of the cases. The highest serum sodium concentration was 165 mEq/l. Extracellular volume changes were minimal, as well as blood pressure increases. Weight gains were accounted for by intracellular water expansion during rehydration. No neurological complications or deaths resulted.
