Hyponatremia in Kawasaki disease: What does it mean and how does it occur?

Abstract: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile vasculitis that predominantly affects children ? 5 years of age. The cause of KD remains unknown, but it is thought that the immune system is activated by an infectious trigger in a genetically susceptible host. Because KD is systemic vasculitis, multiple organ involvement can develop, including hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is common in patients with KD, occurring in 29%?70% of patients. Although hyponatremia is usually mild and asymptomatic in nearly all patients with K… Show more

“…Cerebral salt-wasting syndrome (CSWS), a complication associated with central nervous system (CNS) diseases, is known to cause hyponatremia and dehydration due to excessive discharge of Na and free water ( 1 ). Hyponatremia is reportedly observed in 29–70 percent of Kawasaki disease (KD) patients ( 2 ). The mechanism of hyponatremia is associated with insufficient intake of Na and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) ( 2 , 3 ).…”

The mechanism of hyponatremia is associated with insufficient intake of Na and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) ( 2 , 3 ). To our knowledge, there have been no reports of CSWS as a complication of KD.…”
