Hyponatremia. Hyponatremia or hyponatraemia is a low concentration of sodium in the blood. [4] It is generally defined as a sodium concentration of less than 135 mmol/L (135 mEq/L), with severe hyponatremia being below 120 mEq/L. [3][8] Symptoms can be absent, mild or severe. [2][9] Mild symptoms include a decreased ability to think, headaches ...
Although hyponatremia is a fairly common condition, many patients have only mildly decreased blood sodium. Dr. Jeff Hersh explains the cause of hyponatremia, and how it should be treated Skip to ...
