HYPONATREMIA
● Definition: Plasma Na+ concentration <135 mM.
● It is a very common disorder, occurring in up to 22% of
hospitalized patients.
●Result of an increase in circulating ADH and/or increased renal
Sensitivity to ADH, combined with any intake of free water.
HYPONATREMIA USUALLY MEANS WATER RETENTION
 Hyponatremia is subdivided in three groups on
basis of clinical history and volume status :-
 1-Hypovolemic Hyponatremia
 2-Euvolemic Hyponatremia
 3-Hypervolemic Hyponatremia
Hypovolemic hyponatremia
 Reduction in total body sodium >reduction in total
body water.
 ECF volume depletion
 Patient dehydrated;
 Hypovolemia causes a marked neurohumoral activation
increase circulating level of AVP Increase water
reabsorption Hyponatremia
Nonrenal Cause of hypovolemic hyponatremia
 GI Loss:-vomiting ,diarrhea,
 Insensible loss of Na+Cl-:-sweating ,burn
 Pancreatitis
 Third spacing of fluid
 Urinary Sodium excretion < 20 mM
Renal Cause of hypovolemic hyponatremia
 Inappropriate loss of Na+-Cl– in the urine lead to
volume depletion and an increase in circulatingADH.
 Urine Na+ concentration is typically > 20 mM
 Cause;- Primary Adrenal Insufficiency-decrease
aldosterone lead to hyponatremia
 Salt –losing nephropathy-lead to hyponatremia
 Typical causes-reflux nephropathy, post obstructive uropathy,
recovery phase of ATN
 Thiazide diuretic
 Glycosuria ,ketonuria ( in starvation or in diabetic or
alcoholic ketoacidosis)
 Bicarbonaturia (in renal tubular acidosis or metabolic
alkalosis )
 Cerebral salt wasting syndrome
Cerebral Salt Wasting Syndrome(CWS)
 Development of extracellular volume depletion due to renal
Na+ transport abnormality in patient with intracranial
disease ;
 associated disorders include subarachnoid hemorrhage,
traumatic brain injury ,craniotomy, encephalitis and
meningitis.
 Mechanism:- injured brain cell lead to release of natriuretic
protein lead to natriuresis Hyponatremia
Clinical feature of CSW Syndrome
 Severe hypovolemic hyponatremia
 Urine output:-often high
 Polyuria+
 Dehydration
 Present after 1-2 week of head injury
 Treatment-fluids(hydration)
Euvolemic Hyponatremia
 Patient has a normal store of sodium but excess 0f total
body water.
 Can occur in moderate to severe hypothyroidism(decrease
cardiac output GFR ↓  ↑ Vasopressin  hyponatremia
 Secondary adrenal failure (predominant Glucocorticoid
deficiency) is associated with euvolemic hyponatremia.
 Psychogenic polydypsia
 The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis(SIAD)
SIADH
 Most common cause of euvolemic hyponatremia.
 The secretion of ADH is not inhibited by either low
serum osmolality or expanded intravascular volume.
 Patient with SIADH is unable to excrete water. This
results in dilution of the serum sodium lead to
hyponatremia.
 Kidney increases sodium excretion in an effort to
decrease intravascular volume to normal; thus, the
patient has a mild decrease in body sodium.
Hyponatremia (1)
Diagnostic Criteria for SIADH
1-Normovolemic ,(absence of hypotension/dehydration).
2-Hyponatremia with hypoosmolality (serum sodium <135
mEq/L and Serum osmolality <280 mOsm/kg )
3-Urine osmolality >100 mOsm/kg (usually > plasma)
4-Urine sodium >30 mEq/L
5-Rule out hypothyroidism ,hypoaldosteronism, renal failure or
diuretic therapy before diagnosing SIADH
6-Low serum uric acid (<4 mg /dl) and BUN are commonly
associated finding.
Hyponatremia (1)
CAUSES OF SIADH
 Ectopic Vasopressin:-most commonly with small –cell lung
carcinoma
 Pulmonary disorder:-pneumonia, tuberculosis, pleural
effusion
 CNS Disorder:-tumor ,SAH, meningitis
 Drugs:-most common with SSRI
SIADH CSW Syndrome
Volume and serum Na+ Euvolemic hyponatremia  Hypovolemic
hyponatremia
Urine Na+ Increased  Increased
Mechanism Water retention due to
elevated ADH
 Excessive secretion of
Na+ and water
 Present immediately
after head injury
 Present after 1-2 week
of head injury
Uric acid level  Decreased uric acid
level
 Normal uric acid
levels
Urine output Polyuria absent  Polyuria+
 Treatment >48 water
restriction
 Treatment-
fluids(hydration
Hypervolemic Hyponatremia
Increase in total body water > increase in total body sodium.
Patients are oedematous.
 RENAL CAUSES(urinary sodium > 20mEq/L): Acute or
Chronic renal failure.
 NON RENAL CAUSES(urinary sodium < 20mEq/L): CHF,
Cirrhosis,
Nephrotic syndrome.
Hyponatremia (1)
Psuedo hyponatremia
 Pseudohyponatremia is defined as coexistence of
hyponatremia with a normal or increased plasma tonicity
 A-NORMAL OSMOLALITY- mannitol, Hyperglycemia
 B-HIGH OSMOLALITY-hyperlipidemia
hyperproteinemia.
 Plasma Na+ concentration falls by 1.6-2.4 mM for every 100
mg /dl increase in glucose due to glucose –induced water
efflux from cell.
 Osmolality of body fluids 280 – 295 mosm/l
 Posm = 2[ Na+ ] + BUN(mg/dl) + glucose(mg/dl)
2.8 18
 e.g. serum Na + 92,BUN-28,blood glucose-90
 Posm = 2[ Na+ ] + BUN(mg/dl) + glucose(mg/dl)
2.8 18
 Posm = 2[ 92 ] + 28(mg/dl) + 90(mg/dl)
2.8 18
 This is true hyponatremia
=199
MILD HYPONATREMIA MODERATE
HYPONATREMIA
SEVERE HYPONATREMIA
130-135 mEq/L 125-130 mEq/L <125 mEq/L
Headache Muscle cramps Diminished reflexes
Nausea Muscular weakness Convulsion
Vomiting confusion Coma
Lethargy ataxia Death
Anorexia Personality changes Drowsiness
CLINICAL FEATURES
 Severity of symptoms depends upon :-
The severity of hyponatremia and
The rate at which the sodium concentration is
lowered.
 Acute Hyponatremia: develops in 48 hours or less.
Subjected to more severe degrees of cerebral
edema.
 Acute symptomatic hyponatremia is a medical
emergency.
 Hyponatremia induces cellular swelling ,consequence
of water movement from hypotonic ECF to ICF.
 Symptoms of hyponatremia are primarily neurologic,
reflecting development of cerebral edema.
 Early symptoms can be nausea ,headache ,vomiting
 Severe complication can seizure activity, brainstem
herniation, coma and death
Chronic hyponatremia
 Develops over 48 hours and brain edema is less and
is well tolerated.
 The signs and symptoms are due to increase in
volume of ICF and increase in volume of brain cells
rather than decrease in serum sodium
 Clinical feature - nausea ,vomiting, confusion,
seizure, usually at plasma Na < 125 mM .
 cognitive defect
 Increase risk of bony fracture.
DIAGNOSIS
History and physical examination- to
identify hypovolemic hyponatremia (diarrhoea,
vomiting, burns).
Radiologic imaging - to assess whether
patient has a pulmonary or CNS cause for
hyponatremia
Laboratory tests- Provide important initial
clue in the differential diagnosis
1. Plasma Osmolality
2. Urine Osmolality
3. Urine Sodium concentration
4. Uric acid level
5. Serum potassium
6. Serum glucose
Steps in evaluation of hyponatremia
1-Plasma osmolality
Low- true hyponatremia
Normal or elevated-pseudohyponatremia
2- Urine osmolality-
< 100 mosm/kg – primary polydipsia with normal water
excretion
>100 mosm/kg –other causes of hyponatremia in which
water excretion is impaired
3-Urine sodium concentration
Hyponatremia (1)
TREATMENT
• Hyponatremia which developed quickly needs to be
treated fast
• whereas slow developing hyponatremia should be
corrected slowly.
GOALS of THERAPY:
1.To raise the plasma sodium concentration at a
slow rate.
2.To replace sodium or potassium deficit or both.
3.To correct underlying etiology.
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CORRECTION:
 Rapid correction is indicated in :-
acute (<48hours) symptomatic or
severe hyponatremia.(serum Na <120 mEq/L).
 In chronic cases patients are at little risk,
 however rapid correction can lead to
demyelination.
Osmotic demyelination syndrome(ODS)
 Patient with chronic hyponatremia are at risk for ODS.
 Overly rapid correction of hyponatremia (>8-10 mM in 24
hr or > 18 mM in 48 hr) is associated with disruption in
BBB, allowing entry of immune mediators that may
contribute to demyelination.
 ODS embraces central pontine myelinosis and
extrapontine myelinosis
 Patient can present with paraparesis or quadriparesis, loss
of consciousness, dysarthria, diplopia
Treatment of Hypovolemic Hyponatremia
will respond to intravenous hydration with isotonic normal saline,
with a rapid reduction in circulating ADH and a brisk water diuresis.
Diuretics induced hyponatremia is treated with saline and
potassium supplementation.
Increase Na+ =
𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑵𝒂−𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒖𝒎 𝑵𝒂
𝑻𝑩𝑾+𝟏
TBW= .60 X BODY WEIGHT IN MALE
.50 X BODY WEIGHT IN FEMALE
Eg-if a male serum Na=100, Body weight-60 kg
1 Lt of NS FLUID=
154−100
6𝑂% 𝑋60 +1
=1.5 meq/Lt
5Lt of NS per day required
Treatment of Hypervolemic hyponatremia
 Manage the etiology.
 Responds to salt, water restriction(intake < urine output),
and loop diuretics .

𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒆(𝑵𝒂)+(𝑲)
𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒎𝒂 𝑵𝒂+
urine to plasma electrolyte ratio is
useful to predict the response to fluid restriction.
 If ratio >1 then should be fluid restriction< 500 ml/D
 Ratio is 1 then fluid restriction to 500-700 ml/D
 Ratio is <1 then fluid restriction to <1 L/D
 Vaptans are effective in hypervolemic hyponatremia.
Treatment of Euvolemic hyponatremia
Will respond to successful treatment of the
underlying cause,
Euvolemic hyponatremia in severe
hypothyroidism will correct after achieving a
euthyroid state.
Vasopressin antagonists (vaptans)- highly
effective in treating SIADH
 0.9% NS is not used to correct hyponatremia in SIADH
 3% NS and furosemide can be use.
Many patient with SIADH respond to combined therapy oral
furosemide and oral salt tablet
if Na + level not increased then Demeclocycline can be used.
Oral urea can be used to manage SIADH.
Acute symptomatic Hyponatremia
treatment
 Fluid of choice-3% NS(513 Mm)
 Increase plasma Na+ concentration by 1-2 mM/ h to a
total of 4-6 mM
Total body sodium deficit is approximated as :
Na+ deficit(meq/lit)=(target Na+ conc - serum Na+) x 0.6 x BW(kg)
 eg -60kg weighted male patient presented altered sensorium
for 1 day with S.Na+=110 meq/Lt,S.osmolality-230 mosm/kg
and urine osmolality-480 mOsm/kg.
 Diagnosis- Acute hypotonic hyponatremia
 Treatment plan –infusion of 3% NS
 Sodium deficeit = .6 x 60 x(135-110)=1000 mEq
 Expected Increase Na+ =
𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐍𝐚−𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐍𝐚
𝐓𝐁𝐖+𝟏
=
513−110
.6𝑋60+1
=10.9 mEq/L
 To raise 10.9 mEq/L of Na ,1000 ml of 3% NS required
Treatment option
 1- Bolus therapy Approach-100 ml bolus of 3% saline over 10
minutes followed if symptom persist with up to 2 additional 100
ml doses.
 2-Round the clock approach-
if we want to correct 8 meq/L/day( maximum target
correction)
 To raise 10.9 mEq/L of Na ,1000 ml of 3% NS required
 so to raised 8 mEq of Na, amount of 3% NS required =
700 ml approx 3% NS will require to raise 8 meq
 7 bottles of 100 ml 3% NS over 24 hours.
 give 1 bottle over every 3-4 hrs
Asymptomatic or Chronic Hyponatremia
Rate of correction should be comparatively slow .
<8–10 mM in the first 24 h and <18 mM in the first 48 h
Target rate of plasma sodium should not be >.5-1
mEq/L/Hour.
TOC- Fluid restriction
DOC-Vaptans
Fluid -3% NS
Infusion rate of hypertonic saline= BW X Desired rate of
increase in plasma Na+
eg- 70 kg weight of pt ,desired rate of rise in Na is .5 mEq/l
Then infusion rate of 3% NS=70 X .5=35 ML/Hr.
SPECIFIC THERAPY:
1. Removal of responsible drugs- diuretics, chlorpropamide etc
2-Specific treatment of underlying cause.
3-Vasopressin antagonists (vaptans)- highly effective in
treating SIADH and hypervolemic hyponatremia
Tolvaptan is only oral V2 antagonist
Conivaptan is only intravenous vaptan

Treatment of Hypervolemic hyponatremia  Manage the etiology.  Responds to salt, water restriction(intake < urine output), and loop diuretics .  𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒆(𝑵𝒂)+(𝑲) 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒎𝒂 𝑵𝒂+ urine to plasma electrolyte ratio is useful to predict the response to fluid restriction.  If ratio >1 then should be fluid restriction< 500 ml/D  Ratio is 1 then fluid restriction to 500-700 ml/D  Ratio is <1 then fluid restriction to <1 L/D  Vaptans are effective in hypervolemic hyponatremia.
  • 35. Treatment of Euvolemic hyponatremia Will respond to successful treatment of the underlying cause, Euvolemic hyponatremia in severe hypothyroidism will correct after achieving a euthyroid state. Vasopressin antagonists (vaptans)- highly effective in treating SIADH
  • 36.  0.9% NS is not used to correct hyponatremia in SIADH  3% NS and furosemide can be use. Many patient with SIADH respond to combined therapy oral furosemide and oral salt tablet if Na + level not increased then Demeclocycline can be used. Oral urea can be used to manage SIADH.
  • 37. Acute symptomatic Hyponatremia treatment  Fluid of choice-3% NS(513 Mm)  Increase plasma Na+ concentration by 1-2 mM/ h to a total of 4-6 mM Total body sodium deficit is approximated as : Na+ deficit(meq/lit)=(target Na+ conc - serum Na+) x 0.6 x BW(kg)
  • 38.  eg -60kg weighted male patient presented altered sensorium for 1 day with S.Na+=110 meq/Lt,S.osmolality-230 mosm/kg and urine osmolality-480 mOsm/kg.  Diagnosis- Acute hypotonic hyponatremia  Treatment plan –infusion of 3% NS  Sodium deficeit = .6 x 60 x(135-110)=1000 mEq  Expected Increase Na+ = 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐍𝐚−𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐍𝐚 𝐓𝐁𝐖+𝟏 = 513−110 .6𝑋60+1 =10.9 mEq/L  To raise 10.9 mEq/L of Na ,1000 ml of 3% NS required
  • 39. Treatment option  1- Bolus therapy Approach-100 ml bolus of 3% saline over 10 minutes followed if symptom persist with up to 2 additional 100 ml doses.  2-Round the clock approach- if we want to correct 8 meq/L/day( maximum target correction)  To raise 10.9 mEq/L of Na ,1000 ml of 3% NS required  so to raised 8 mEq of Na, amount of 3% NS required = 700 ml approx 3% NS will require to raise 8 meq  7 bottles of 100 ml 3% NS over 24 hours.  give 1 bottle over every 3-4 hrs
  • 40. Asymptomatic or Chronic Hyponatremia Rate of correction should be comparatively slow . <8–10 mM in the first 24 h and <18 mM in the first 48 h Target rate of plasma sodium should not be >.5-1 mEq/L/Hour. TOC- Fluid restriction DOC-Vaptans Fluid -3% NS
  • 41. Infusion rate of hypertonic saline= BW X Desired rate of increase in plasma Na+ eg- 70 kg weight of pt ,desired rate of rise in Na is .5 mEq/l Then infusion rate of 3% NS=70 X .5=35 ML/Hr.
  • 42. SPECIFIC THERAPY: 1. Removal of responsible drugs- diuretics, chlorpropamide etc 2-Specific treatment of underlying cause. 3-Vasopressin antagonists (vaptans)- highly effective in treating SIADH and hypervolemic hyponatremia Tolvaptan is only oral V2 antagonist Conivaptan is only intravenous vaptan
