We present a case of cytarabine-induced syndrome inappropriate secretion antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), rare manifestation and complication, which based on review the medical literature was reported only in one prior report. It involves 74-year-old male with acute myeloid leukemia who developed asymptomatic hyponatremia during three cycles consolidation chemotherapy high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC)....

This report deals with an elderly lady with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), who presented with features of unusually severe hyponatraemia. The hyponatraemia was probably due to the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). The hyponatraemia resolved with water restriction and infusion of hypertonic saline; GBS was treated with human immunoglobulin (IVIG). This patient'...

Introduction The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a serious condition associated with persistently high ADH water retention despite sufficient vascular volume. Sodium valproate (VPA), an antiepileptic indicated to treat bipolar disorder, blocks sodium (Na) and calcium ions. Few studies have examined the association between VPA SIADH. Objectives This abstract h...

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSQCC) of the lung is a very rare subtype of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). There have been no reported cases of syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) developing concurrently with this tumor. We herein present a case of a 68-year-old female who was diagnosed with lung mass discovered incidentally on preoperative clearance for surgica...

A 52-year-old man presented with vomiting, general fatigue and hyponatremia. His symptoms and signs were consistent with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Endocrine studies revealed hypopituitarism and administration of hydrocortisone resulted in a marked polyuria. The patient was diagnosed as masked diabetes insipidus. The lymphocytic hypophysitis was als...

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality observed in clinical practice and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is diagnosed in nearly 40% of the hospitalized hyponatremic patients. We present a case report of herpes zoster infection causing a severe hyponatremia/hypokalemia. This rare association between SIADH and varicella-zoster virus infection i...

Hyponatremia secondary to the Syndrome of Inappropriate Anti-Diuretic Hormone (SIADH) secretion is commonly observed in patients with various neurological disorders. Cerebral Salt Wasting (CSW) resulting in hyponatremia is also an infrequent occurrence in some patients with neurological disorders. Confusion in differentiating CSW from SIADH may arise since both results in similar electrolyte di...

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a rare complication of adult Still's disease (ASD). We experienced a male ASD patient who complained of arthralgia and intermittent fever. Chest radiograph and pleural fluid analysis revealed pleurisy with effusion. We diagnosed this patient with SIADH and confirmed the disappearance of hyponatremia and pleurisy after starting ...

Wereport an autopsy-confirmed case of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) accompanied by syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). A 67year-old man was admitted to our hospital with muscle weakness, dysarthria and dysphagia. During hospitalization, respiratory insufficiency was ingravescent, and hyponatremia, hypo-osmolarity, elevated osmotic pressure of urine, and el...
