ADH receptor antagonists are used in congestive heart failure,
hyponatraemia, or for patients experiencing syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH).
Differential diagnosis of
hyponatraemia. Best Pract Res Clin Endocrinol Metab.
But the nine-year-old was later found to have died from a condition known as
hyponatraemia, which is linked to a shortage of sodium in the blood.
Hyponatraemia and the inappropriate ADH syndrome in pneumonia.
Hyponatraemia associated with the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
Patients who have secondary pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) in addition to
hyponatraemia, hyperpotassaemia and high serum aldosterone levels for the age were included in this retrospective study.Among eight patients, seven patients were diagnosed with PHA secondary to obstructive uropathy (OUP), whereas one patient had PHA secondary to ileostomy.
There are a few hypotheses to explain the relationship between ECG abnormalities or myocardial injury and acute pancreatitis, which includes: [1] vagally mediated reflexes (cardiobiliary reflex) (2,3); [2] electrolyte abnormalities, such as hypokalemia, hypocalcaemia,
hyponatraemia (2); [3] toxic effects of pancreatic proteolytic enzymes on myocardium--trypsin can change platelet adhesiveness, influence the coagulation system and lead to coronary thrombosis (5); [4] coronary artery spasm (3); [5] haemodynamic instability and /or systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) induces cardiac damage such as severe sepsis or septic shock (3); and [6] prothrombotic derangement (3).
In this study, the
hyponatraemia group showed that 46.3% developed
hyponatraemia on admission and 53.7% after 24 hours of hospitalisation, while 65.8% had persistent
hyponatraemia.
If one keeps on drinking water without increasing the salt intake, the salt contents of the body continue to decrease, resulting in sodium deficiency or
hyponatraemia. Those engaged in strenuous physical activity such as labourers and housewives doing cooking face great risk of
hyponatraemia.
