Slower rates of sodium correction in hyponatremia may have gone too far in their attempts to prevent osmotic demyelination syndrome.

New data suggest that faster sodium correction in severe hyponatremia may reduce mortality and delay neurologic events, ...

For patients hospitalized with severe hyponatremia, faster sodium correction is associated with a lower risk for 90-day death or delayed neurologic events, according to a study published online in the ...

Hyponatremia is a condition where plasma sodium level falls to less than 135 mmol/L. SIADH is a condition where the control of ADH secretion is lost and it is secreted independent of the need to ...
