Differential Diagnosis
- Pseudohyponatremia from lab error
- Translational hyponatremia from mannitol or hyperglycemia
- Hypovolemic
- UNa >20: Renal losses, including mineralocorticoid deficiency
- UNa <10: Non-renal losses
- Euvolemic
- Uosm >100: SIADH, hypothyroidism, glucocorticoid deficiency
- Uosm <100: Primary polydipsia, low solute intake
- Uosm variable: Reset osmostat
- Hypervolemic
- UNa <10: CHD, cirrhosis, nephrosis
- UNa >20: Renal failure
Investigations
- Serum and urine osmolality and electrolytes (prior to treatment)
- TSH and AM cortisol
