Patients with severe or life-threatening hyponatremia complications (typically those with a rapid drop in blood sodium, and/or those with certain other risk factors such as recent brain injury or ...
The causes of hyponatremia are typically classified by a person's body fluid status into low volume, normal volume, or high volume. [4] Low volume hyponatremia can occur from diarrhea, vomiting, diuretics, and sweating. [4] Normal volume hyponatremia is divided into cases with dilute urine and concentrated urine. [4]
Hyponatremia means that the concentration of sodium in the blood is too low. 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.
In severe or acute hypoosmolar hyponatremia, swelling of brain cells causes various neurological abnormalities, which in severe or acute cases can result in convulsions, coma, and death. The symptoms of chronic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis are more vague, and may include cognitive impairment , gait abnormalities , or osteoporosis .
The causes of hyponatremia are typically classified by a person's body fluid status into low volume, normal volume, or high volume. [35] Low volume hyponatremia can occur from diarrhea, vomiting, diuretics, and sweating. [35] Normal volume hyponatremia is divided into cases with dilute urine and concentrated urine. [35]
Hypoosmolar hyponatremia is a condition where hyponatremia is associated with a low plasma osmolality. [1] The term "hypotonic hyponatremia" is also sometimes used. [2] When the plasma osmolarity is low, the extracellular fluid volume status may be in one of three states: low volume, normal volume, or high volume.
Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) is a fluid-electrolyte disorder caused by a decrease in sodium levels (hyponatremia) during or up to 24 hours after prolonged physical activity. [1] This disorder can develop when marathon runners or endurance event athletes drink more fluid, usually water or sports drinks, than their kidneys can excrete ...
Researchers challenge Bruce Lee's cause of death, positing that his brain swelling was caused by low sodium due to chronic elevated water intake. ... Hyponatremia is a below-normal concentration ...
