hyponatremia

• The little man missed the Duke game after spending two days in the hospital, diagnosed with hyponatremia, meaning the sodium levels in his blood were way too low.
• Discouraging their use puts people at higher risk for dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and hyponatremia (all of which can be deadly). —  Balanced Health and Nutrition Rebecca Scritchfield, RD
• The complexity of hyponatremia as a clinical problem is likely caused by the opposite scenarios that accompany this electrolyte disorder regarding pathophysiology (depletional versus dilutional hyponatremia, high versus low vasopressin levels) and therapy (rapid correction to treat cerebral edema versus slow correction to prevent osmotic demyelination, fluid restriction versus fluid resuscitation). —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• For a balanced differentiation between these opposites, an understanding of the pathophysiology of hyponatremia is required. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• A physiology-based approach to the patient with hyponatremia is presented, first addressing the possibility of acute hyponatremia, and then asking if and if so why vasopressin is secreted non-osmotically. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
