Abstract

Hyponatremia is the most prevalent electrolyte imbalance disorder, with up to 19% and 7% of hospitalized and outpa2ents being affected, respectively. Severe sequalae can result both from chronic and acute hyponatremia, as well as from the underlying disorder which triggers it. It is essential to achieve a prompt and etiologic diagnosis of hyponatremia in order to implement a safe and effective treatment. There are diverse treatment options. We present the case of a female pa2ent for whom etiologic diagnosis of SIADH was achieved followed by safe and effective combined treatment with water restriction and urea.
