Management of hyponatremia: Providing treatment and avoiding harm

Abstract: Hyponatremia, in its most severe form, requires urgent infusion of hypertonic saline to correct cerebral edema. However, overly rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia can cause osmotic demyelination syndrome. The authors review the treatment of hyponatremia in order to provide clinicians with a sound approach in a variety of settings in which severity, symptoms, and underlying disease states influence therapy. Also discussed is the current role of vasopressin antagonists in treatment.

“…Hyponatremia is an electrolyte disorder most commonly defined as a serum sodium concentration <135 mEq/ L. 1 Its exact definition can vary across studies, but typically ranges between <130 and <138 mEq/L. 2,3 Signs and symptoms of hyponatremia can include malaise, headache, disorientation, confusion, muscle weakness, and cramps.…”

“…Hipotonik hiponatremide idrar osmolaritesi ≤100 mOsm/kg ise, fazla su alımı reset osmostat veya düşük solüt alımı düşünülmelidir. Hipovolemik hiponatremik hastalarda dilüe idrarın bir nedeni de izotonik sıvı tedavisidir (46). İdrar osmolaritesi >100 mOsm/kg ise, idrar Na + konsantrasyonu değerlendirilmeli; idrar Na + konsantrasyonu ≤30 mmol/l ise, neden etkin arteryal volüm azalması iken, >30 mmol/l ise hücre dışı sıvı değerlendirmesi yapılmalı, diüretik kullanımı sorgulanmalıdır (15).…”

“…Ciddi belirti ve bulgu olmadığında, intravenöz sıvı veya ilaçlarla tedaviye gerek kalmadan hiponatreminin düzeltilmesi, aynı zamanda hastayı hızlı düzelmenin doğuracağı risklerden de koruyacaktır (46). Ciddi nörolojik belirti ve bulgusu olan kişilerde hastanın sıvı durumundan, hiponatremi sebebinden veya başlangıç süresinden bağımsız serum Na + düzeyi acilen güvenilir aralığa çekilmelidir.…”
