  2. Hyponatremia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyponatremia

    False or pseudo hyponatremia is caused by a false lab measurement of sodium due to massive increases in blood triglyceride levels or extreme elevation of immunoglobulins as may occur in multiple myeloma. [12] Hyponatremia with elevated tonicity can occur with high blood sugar, causing a shift of excess free water into the serum. [12]

  3. Fractional excretion of sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_excretion_of_sodium

    the physiologic response to a decrease in kidney perfusion is an increase in sodium reabsorption to control hyponatremia, often caused by volume depletion or decrease in effective circulating volume (e.g. low output heart failure). above 2% [citation needed] or 3% [2] acute tubular necrosis or other kidney damage (postrenal disease)

  4. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndrome_of_inappropriate...

    There are nine supplemental features: 1) a low BUN; 2) a low uric acid; 3) a normal creatinine; 4) failure to correct hyponatremia with IV normal saline; 5) successful correction of hyponatremia with fluid restriction; 6) a fractional sodium excretion >1%; 7) a fractional urea excretion >55%; 8) an abnormal water load test; and 9) an elevated ...

  5. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    It is generally defined as a concentration lower than 135 mEq/L. [3] This relatively common electrolyte disorder can indicate the presence of a disease process, but in the hospital setting is more often due to administration of Hypotonic fluids. [14] [3] The majority of hospitalized patients only experience mild hyponatremia, with levels above ...

  6. Adrenal crisis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_crisis

    During an adrenal crisis laboratory testing may show low sodium (hyponatremia), high potassium (hyperkalemia), high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis), high eosinophils (eosinophilia), low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and rarely high calcium (hypercalcemia). [8] In an adrenal crisis, hypotension occurs due to low cortisol and volume depletion. [9]

  7. Hypoaldosteronism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoaldosteronism

    Hypoaldosteronism causes low sodium (hyponatremia), high potassium (hyperkalemia), and metabolic acidosis, a condition in which the body produces excess acid.These conditions are responsible for the symptoms of hypoaldosteronism, which include muscle weakness, nausea, palpitations, irregular heartbeat, and abnormal blood pressure.

  8. How to refinance your ARM into a fixed-rate mortgage - AOL

    3/6 ARM. 3 years. Every 6 months. Rate locked for 3 years, then adjusts every 6 months. ARMs can shine in high-rate markets, as they may offer lower introductory rates compared to fixed mortgages.

  9. Tea and toast syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_and_toast_syndrome

    In general, hyponatremia is usually asymptomatic until severe. [10] Typical laboratory findings for tea and toast syndrome include a low serum osmolality (hypotonicity) with normal urine osmolality since antidiuretic hormone levels are normal. A common laboratory finding for the tea and toast phenomenon is manifestation as hyponatremia.
