1 Sym pt om s of "" Serum [Na + ] >130 m Eq/ L: - Asymptomatic Serum [Na + ] m Eq/ L: - Nausea, vomiting - Fatigue, muscle cramps - Abdominal symptoms - Mild cognitive - Gait disturbances Serum [Na + ] <125 m Eq/ L: - Headache - Agitation and confusion Serum [Na + ] <120 m Eq/ L: - Lethargy - Seizures and coma Effect s of rapidit y of developm ent Acut e - Serum is hypotonic relative to the brain. This osmotic gradient drives water into the brain. - Cerebral edema - CNS symptom Severe acut e - Brain damage - Brainstem herniation - Respiratory arrest - Rhabdomyolysis - Death Chronic - CNS adaptations occur (neurons decrease intracellular osmolality). - Cerebral edema, seizures, herniation are less frequent. Recognizes key diagnost ic clues Invest igat ion - Serum electrolytes Serum [Na + ] Hyponatremia (<135 meq/l) Significant hyponatremia (<130 meq/l) - Serum glucose - Serum BUN, creatinine - Serum and urine osmolarity St ep 1 (cont.) Assess t he pat ient 's serum osm olarit y Recent act ivit y - Recent marathon» exercised-associated hyponatremia (EAH) Drug - Thiazide use» diuretic-induced hyponatremia Know n underlying diseases - Heart failure - Liver or kidney disease - Volume loss, vomiting, diarrhea - Diabetes mellitus Know n abnorm al laborat ory values - Marked hyperglycemia - hyperglycemic-induced hyponatremia - Urine osmolarity <100 mosm/l - Psychogenic polydipsia - Ecstasy use - Beer potomania - Unexplained hyperkalemia - Kidney disease - Normal serum osmolarity - Pseudohyponatremia - Marked hyperlipidemia - Marked hypoproteinemia - Markedly elevated serum cretinine - Kidney disease

2 St ep 1 Assess t he pat ient 's serum osm olarit y (normal value mosm/kg) Low serum osm olarit y (<280 m Osm / kg) High serum osm olarit y (>295 m Osm / kg) Norm al serum osm olarit y ( m Osm / kg) Hypot onic (t rue ) Hypert onic (fact it ious ) - Hyperglycemia (1.6 meq/l for each rise of 100 mg/dl in serum glucose above 100 mg/dl) Drugs - Manitol, sorbitol, glycerol, maltose - Glycine (hyperglycinemia) - Radiocontrast agents Isot onic (pseudo) - Hypoproteinemia - Hyperlipidemia St ep 2 Assess t he pat ient 's volum e st at us using clinical and laboratory evidences Not e - Measuring serum [Na + ] and FeNa + are inaccurate and not necessary in evaluating hypervolemic hyponatremia - Hypotension, orthostatic changes Euvolem ic and subt le hypovolem ic - No clinical evidence of hypovolemia and hypervolemia (cont.) Assess t he pat ient 's serum [Na + ] - Serum [Na + ] <120 meq/l Then - Consult s nephrologist s Logics - Administering normal saline in patients with SIADH would increase aldosterone and ANP levels that facilitate sodium excretion while water is retained due to high ADH level, further decreases serum [Na + ] - Serum [Na + ] >120 meq/l - Identify if the patient is euvolemic or subtle hypovolemic Invest igat ions - Urine [Na + ] - FeNa + (fract ional excret ion) - Norm al saline challange Euvolem ic and subt le hypovolem ic (cont.) Hypervolem ic - Significant edema S 3 gallop, ascites Com m on causes - Heart failure - Hx: MI, HTN, alcohol abuse - PE: JVD, S 3 gallop, crackles, peripheral edema - ECG, echocardiogram - Cirrhosis - Hx: chronic hepatitis, alcohol abuse - PE: scleral icterus, spider angioma, ascites, gynecomastia, splenomegaly - Sretum albumin - ALT, AST, bilirubin, GGT, ALP - PT, PTT - HBsAg, hepatitis C Ab - Liver U/S and Doppler - Renal failure - Serum BUN, creatinine, egfr - Urinalysis - Nephrotic syndrome - Hx: foamy urine, DM, SLE - Serum albumin, BUN, creatinine - Urinalysis - Spot (random) protein-to-creatinine ratio - 24-hr urine for total protein - Preeclampsia (toxemia)

4 Euvolem ic and subt le hypovolem ic - Serum [Na + ] >120 meq/l - Identify if the patient is euvolemic or subtle hypovolemic Invest igat ions - Urine [Na + ] - FeNa + (fract ional excret ion) - Norm al saline challange Logics behind ident ificat ion of " Subt le hypovolem ia" (1) Urine Na + and FeNa + (fract ional excret ion) - FENa + compares fraction of sodium excreted to fraction of sodium filtered. - FENa + = (UNa + PCr) (PNa + UCr) - Hypovolemia promotes Na + reabsorption, leading to: - Low urine [Na + ] (<30 m Eq/ L) SE 63?80%, SP %, LR+ 2.2-?, LR Low FeNa + (<0.5%) SE 100%, SP 72%, LR+ 3.5, LR- 0 - In contrast, euvolemia does not have a stimulus to reabsorb urine sodium, thus: - Higher urine [Na + ] (>30 m Eq/ L) - Higher FeNa + (>0.5%) (2) Response t o a "sm all saline challenge" - In hypovolemic patients, ADH is suppressed as the plasma volume expands, thus: - Wat er diuresis - Rise in t he serum [Na + ] - In euvolemic patients, ADH is not volume dependent and persists despite the saline challenge, resulting in retention of the water whereas the sodium is excreted. - Paradoxical fall in t he serum [Na + ] - Urine [Na + ] <30 meq/l - FeNa + <0.5% - Normal saline challange shows significant increase in serum [Na + ] Rule out false-post ivie result s (low urine [Na+] and FeNa+ in euvolem ic pat ient s) - Psychogenic polydipsias (due to dilution of the excreted Na + in vast quantities of water) - SIADH patients that ingest little sodium (causing decreased urinary Na + output) Ot herw ise - Subt le hypovolem ic - Urine [Na + ] >30 meq/l - FeNa + >0.5% - Normal saline challange shows no significant change or fall in serum [Na + ] Rule out false-negat ive result s (high urine [Na+] and FeNa+ in hypovolem ic pat ient s) - Diuretics (hypoaldosteronism directly causes urinary sodium wasting) - Vomiting with accompanying metabolic alkalosis (metabolic alkalosis causes an obligatory urinary HCO 3? and Na + loss; urine Cl? may be low and diagnostic) Ot herw ise - Euvolem ic (cont.) Euvolem ic Drugs - Thiazide diuretics* - ADH analogues - Vasopressin - Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) - Oxytocin (including near-delivery pregnent women) - ACE inhibitors - Chlorpropamide (PREV 6-7%) - Carbamazepine - Antidepressants - Ttricyclics - SSRIs - Antipsychotics - NSAIDs - Ecstasy (MDMA) - Others (eg, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, nicotine, opioids, clofibrate) - Severe hypothyroidism (TSH markedly elevated) - Secondary renal insufficiancy (low serum cortisol, hyperkalemia) - SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion) (urine osmolarity increases) - Cancers (eg, pancreas, lung) - CNS disease (eg, cerebrovascular accident, trauma, infection, hemorrhage, mass) - Pulmonary diseases (eg, infections, respiratory failure) - Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) Special cases Urine osm olarit y <100 m Osm / L - Psychogenic polydipsia - Ecstasy use - Beer potomania Post operat ive - Postopetaive patients receiving nacotics with overaggressive IV fluid treatment
