We report the case of a 50-year-old female outpatient who rapidly developed severe generalize...
متن کاملThiazide-Induced Hyponatremia
The importance of thiazide-induced hyponatremia (TIH) is reemerging because thiazide diuretic prescription seems to be increasing after the guidelines recommending thiazides as first-line treatment of essential hypertension have been introduced. Thiazide diuretics act by inhibiting reabsorption of Na(+) and Cl(-) from the distal convoluted tubule by blocking the thiazide-sensitive Na(+)/Cl(-) c...
