Small cell carcinoma of the prostate (SCCP) is rare in clinical practice. It is often accompanied with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). We present a case of SCCP with SIADH that was successfully treated with radiotherapy in the metastatic lymphnodes and prostate. The patient was an 81-year-old male with a castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with invade...

BACKGROUND Medical textbooks often list Legionnaires' disease as a differential diagnosis of the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) (SIADH), but evidence supporting this association is largely lacking. We tested the hypothesis whether hyponatremia in patients with Legionnaires' disease would be caused by increased CT-ProVasopressin. METHODS We measured CT-ProVa...

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...

Sweet disease may occur in several organs, and central nervous system involvement, known as Neuro-Sweet disease (NSD), is rare. The clinical features of NSD include recurrent encephalomeningitis accompanied by fever and erythematous plaques; systemic corticosteroid therapy is highly effective. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is an important electrolyte abnormali...

Paraneoplastic syndrome (PNS) related to lung cancer is very common. However, the syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is rare in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We are reporting the case of a 58-year-old female presenting with dyspnea, cough, weight loss, digital clubbing, and one week of haemoptysis. CT showed a mediastinal mass completely encasing her superio...

We present a case of severe Mycobacterium kansasii infection due to the clinical and radiological progression and complicated with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). This 54-year-old male alcoholic and heavy smoker as predisposing factors presented severe anorexia, asthenia and cachexia. Abundant acid-fast bacilli (AFB) were observed in the patient’s sputum and pl...

Two young women are described who presented with an acute psychiatric illness, due to the metabolic effects of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) secretion. In both patients symptoms were promptly abolished by correction of the biochemical disturbance and subsequent investigations revealed hitherto occult oat cell carcinoma of bronchus. These patients demonstrate the value of routine lab...

fluoxetine, a widely used antidepressant, can affect the serum sodium level. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare changes in the serum sodium level of depressive patients taking fluoxetine according to age.this quasi-experimental study was conducted on 126 patients with depression, dividing the patients into two age groups of 15 to 35 years, and above 55 years, who referred to psyc...
