SIADH and hyponatraemia: foreword
Hyponatraemia is common, affecting about one in five of all hospitalized patients. Minor degrees of chronic hyponatraemia cause cognitive and motor impairment, and severe hyponatraemia is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a common cause of hyponatraemia and is often poorly understood and inappropriately treat...
متن کاملSIADH and hyponatraemia: why does it matter?
The vasopressin-receptor antagonists have received approval for the treatment of hyponatraemia secondary to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). It is therefore necessary that physicians encountering hyponatraemia focus on SIADH. Recent studies show that hyponatraemia is often poorly managed-insufficient diagnostic tests are ordered and patients are undertreated...

متن کاملHyponatraemia after Fracture Is Often Caused by Hypovolaemia, Not SIADH
We read with interest the study by Cervellin et al., the largest study of admission hyponatraemia in intracapsular femoral neck fractures to date [1]. This work adds to the substantial and growing body of evidence detailing associations between hyponatraemia and fractures. We agree that hyponatraemia is an important and underappreciated problem in femoral fractures and other fragility fractures...

Lithium, a drug for bipolar disorders, has been known to cause nephrogenic diabetes insipidus by reducin...
