Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyponatremia, defined as a serum sodium concentration <135 mmol/l, is a frequent electrolyte disorder in patients presenting to an emergency department (ED). In this context, appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic management is rarely performed and challenging due to complex pathophysiologic mechanisms and a variety of underlying diseases. OBJECTIVE To implement a feasible pathway of central diagnostic and therapeutic steps in the setting of an ED. METHODS We conducted a narrative review of the literature, considering current practice guidelines on diagnosis and treatment of hyponatremia. Underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms and management of adverse treatment effects are outlined. We also report four cases observed in our ED. RESULTS Symptoms associated with hyponatremia may appear unspecific and range from mild cognitive deficits to seizures and coma. The severity of hyponatremia-induced neurological manifestation and the risk of poor outcome is mainly driven by the rapidity of serum sodium decrease. Therefore, emergency treatment of hyponatremia should be guided by symptom severity and the assumed onset of hyponatremia development, distinguishing acute (<48 hours) versus chronic hyponatremia (>48 hours). CONCLUSIONS Especially in moderately or severely symptomatic patients presenting to an ED, the application of a standard management approach appears to be critical to improve overall outcome. Furthermore, an adequate work-up in the ED enables further diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation during hospitalization.

Abstract
Background Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic(SIAD) occurs secondary to various diseases, which is characterised by hypotonic hyponatremia and impaired urinary diluting capacity. Research on SIAD in both domestic and international contexts has a long history. This study objectively and comprehensively analyses the research trends, hotspots and development of SIAD research of the past 20 years using the method of bibliometric analysis. Methods The 2003-2022 data in the Web of Science Core Collection database were searched. The Bibliometrix software package, VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to mine, extract and visualise the retrieved literature, and the generated maps were used in analysing the main topics and trends in the field of SIAD research. Results A total of 1215 articles published in 623 journals were included in the analysis, with a total of 18,886 citations. Results showed that the research output on SIAD has continuously increased in the past 20 years, and the United States had the highest number of publications and citations. Keywords with the highest burst strength in recent years were the most mentioned keywords, in addition to the search terms 'hyponatremia', 'covid-19', and 'mortality'. Thus, the relationship among SIAD, covid-19 and mortality may become research frontiers and trends. Fifteen milestone articles were identified through co-citation analysis, which mainly focused on the pathophysiology and treatment of SIAD. Conclusion Based on bibliometric analysis and knowledge mapping, this study summarises development trends in the field of SIAD research, providing references for current and future research into SIAD.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 14:1309657.

Abstract
Background Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) is one of the most frequent causes of euvolemic hyponatremia (serum sodium levels < 135 mEq/L) and it represents more than 35% of hyponatremia cases in hospitalized patients. It is characterized by an inappropriate vasopressin (AVP)/antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, which occurs independently from effective serum osmolality or circulating volume, leading to water retention via its action on type 2 vasopressin receptor in the distal renal tubules. Corpus callosum agenesis (CCA) is one of the most common congenital brain defects, which can be associated to alterations in serum sodium levels. This report presents a rare case of chronic hyponatremia associated with SIAD in a woman with CCA, whose correction of serum sodium levels only occurred following twice-daily tolvaptan administration. Case presentation A 30-year-old female was admitted to our hospital for non-acute hyponatremia with dizziness, headache, distal tremors, and concentration deficits. She had profound hyponatremia (Na 121 mmol/L) with measured plasma hypo-osmolality (259 mOsm/Kg) and urinary osmolality greater than 100 mOsm/Kg (517 mOsm/Kg). She presented clinically as normovolemic. After the exclusion of other causes of normovolemic hyponatremia, such as hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency, a diagnosis of SIAD was established. We have ruled out paraneoplastic, inflammatory, and infectious causes, as well as ischemic events. Her medical history showed a CCA and frontal teratoma. We administered tolvaptan initially at a low dosage (15 mg once a day) with persistence of hyponatremia. Therefore, the dosage was first doubled (30 mg once a day) and then increased to 45 mg once a day with an initial improvement in serum sodium levels, although not long-lasting. We therefore tried dividing the 45 mg tolvaptan administration into two doses of 30 mg and 15 mg respectively, using an off-label treatment schedule, thus achieving long-lasting serum sodium levels in the low-normal range associated with a general clinical improvement. Conclusions This report underlines the importance of the correct diagnosis, management and treatment of SIAD, as well as the need for further studies about the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of vasopressin receptor antagonists.

Abstract
The incidence of hyponatremia after spinal cord injury was reported to be between 25 and 80%. Hyponatremia can lead to a variety of clinical symptoms, from mild to severe and even life-threatening. Hyponatremia is often associated with diabetes insipidus, which refers to insufficient arginine vasopressin (AVP) secretion or defective renal response to AVP, with clinical manifestations of syndromes such as hypoosmolality, polydipsia, and polydipsia. Recent mechanistic studies on hyponatremia and diabetes insipidus after acute spinal cord injury have been performed in isolation, without integrating the above two symptoms into different pathological manifestations that occur in the same injury state and without considering the acute spinal cord injury patient's condition as a whole. The therapeutic principles of CSWS and SIADH are in opposition to one another. It is not easy to identify the mechanism of hyponatremia in clinical practice, which makes selecting the treatment difficult. According to the existing theories, treatments for hyponatremia and diabetes insipidus together are contraindicated, whether the mechanism of hyponatremia is thought to be CSWS or SIADH. In this paper, we review the mechanism of these two pathological manifestations and suggest that our current understanding of the mechanisms of hyponatremia and diabetes insipidus after high acute cervical SCI is insufficient, and it is likely that there are other undetected pathogenetic mechanisms.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder, affecting more than 15% of patients in the hospital. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) is the most frequent cause of hypotonic hyponatremia, mediated by nonosmotic release of arginine vasopressin (AVP, previously known as antidiuretic hormone), which acts on the renal V2 receptors to promote water retention. There are a variety of underlying causes of SIAD, including malignancy, pulmonary pathology, and central nervous system pathology. In clinical practice, the etiology of hyponatremia is frequently multifactorial and the management approach may need to evolve during treatment of a single episode. It is therefore important to regularly reassess clinical status and biochemistry, while remaining alert to potential underlying etiological factors that may become more apparent during the course of treatment. In the absence of severe symptoms requiring urgent intervention, fluid restriction (FR) is widely endorsed as the first-line treatment for SIAD in current guidelines, but there is considerable controversy regarding second-line therapy in instances where FR is unsuccessful, which occurs in around half of cases. We review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and differential diagnosis of SIAD, and summarize recent evidence for therapeutic options beyond FR, with a focus on tolvaptan, urea, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is one of the most common electrolyte disorders in emergency departments and hospitalized patients. Serum sodium concentration is controlled by osmoregulation and volume regulation. Both pathways are regulated via the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Syndrome of inappropriate release of ADH (SIADH) may be caused by neoplasms or pneumonia but may also be triggered by drug use or drug abuse. Excessive fluid intake may also result in a decrease in serum sodium concentration. Rapid alteration in serum sodium concentration leads to cell swelling or cell shrinkage, which primarily causes neurological symptoms. The dynamics of development of hyponatremia and its duration are crucial. In addition to blood testing, a clinical examination and urine analysis are essential in the differential diagnosis of hyponatremia.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder. A proper diagnosis is important for its successful management, especially in profound hyponatremia. The European hyponatremia guidelines point at sodium and osmolality measurement in plasma and urine, and the clinical evaluation of volume status as the minimum diagnostic workup for the diagnosis of hyponatremia. We aimed to determine compliance with guidelines and to investigate possible associations with patient outcomes. In this retrospective study, we analysed the management of 263 patients hospitalised with profound hyponatremia at a Swiss teaching hospital between October 2019 and March 2021. We compared patients with a complete minimum diagnostic workup (D-Group) to patients without (N-Group). A minimum diagnostic workup was performed in 65.5% of patients and 13.7% did not receive any treatment for hyponatremia or an underlying cause. The twelve-month survival did not show statistically significant differences between the groups (HR 1.1, 95%-CI: 0.58-2.12, p-value 0.680). The chance of receiving treatment for hyponatremia was higher in the D-group vs. N-Group (91.9% vs. 75.8%, p-value < 0.001). A multivariate analysis showed significantly better survival for treated patients compared to not treated (HR 0.37, 95%-CI: 0.17-0.78, p-value 0.009). More efforts should be made to ensure treatment of profound hyponatremia in hospitalised patients.

Abstract
The application of pathophysiologic tenets has created significant changes in our approach to hyponatremia and hyponatremia-related conditions. This new approach incorporated the determination of fractional excretion (FE) of urate before and after the correction of hyponatremia and the response to isotonic saline infusion to differentiate the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) from renal salt wasting (RSW). FEurate simplified the identification of the different causes of hyponatremia, especially the diagnosis of a reset osmostat and Addison’s disease. Differentiating SIADH from RSW has been extremely difficult because both syndromes present with identical clinical parameters, which could be overcome by successfully carrying out the difficult protocol of this new approach. A study of 62 hyponatremic patients from the general medical wards of the hospital identified 17 (27%) to have SIADH, 19 (31%) with reset osmostat, and 24 (38%) with RSW with 21 of these RSW patients presenting without clinical evidence of cerebral disease to warrant changing the nomenclature from cerebral to renal salt wasting. The natriuretic activity found in the plasma of 21 and 18 patients with neurosurgical and Alzheimer’s disease, respectively, was later identified as haptoglobin-related protein without signal peptide (HPRWSP). The high prevalence of RSW creates a therapeutic dilemma of deciding whether to water-restrict water-logged patients with SIADH as compared to administering saline to volume-depleted patients with RSW. Future studies will hopefully achieve the following: 1. Abandon the ineffective volume approach; 2. Develop HPRWSP as a biomarker to identify hyponatremic and a projected large number of normonatremic patients at risk of developing RSW, including Alzheimer’s disease; 3. Facilitate differentiating SIADH from RSW on the first encounter and improve clinical outcomes.

Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone after total proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis. Clin J Gastroenterol 2023; 16:63-68.

Abstract
We report a case of the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) after total proctocolectomy followed with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (TPC-IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC). The patient was a 46-year-old woman. She was diagnosed with UC of pancolitis in 2000. High grade dysplasia was detected in the transverse colon after a surveillance colonoscopy in 2021. She underwent laparoscopy-assisted TPC-IPAA. On the sixth postoperative day, she had a decreased level of consciousness that worsened on the following day. Her laboratory data showed a serum sodium level of 108 mEq/L and the plasma osmolality was 234 mOsm/kg. We did not find any other abnormalities in the laboratory examination that could cause hyponatremia. Computed tomography scan showed no central nervous system disturbances such as a pituitary tumor, antidiuretic hormone-producing tumors, or pulmonary diseases. The patient was diagnosed with Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) caused by surgical invasion. We started to administer 3% sodium chloride slowly to improve the hyponatremia. Her serum sodium level became normal and stable. Although it is rare for SIADH to be caused by abdominal surgery, if hyponatremia is observed after surgery, the possibility of postoperative SIADH should be considered.

New Approach to Hyponatremia: High Prevalence of Cerebral/Renal Salt Wasting, Identification of Natriuretic Protein That Causes Salt Wasting. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11247445. [PMID: 36556061 PMCID: PMC9786136 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11247445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Our understanding of hyponatremic conditions has undergone major alterations. There is a tendency to treat all patients with hyponatremia because of common subtle symptoms that include unsteady gait that lead to increased falls and bone fractures and can progress to mental confusion, irritability, seizures, coma and even death. We describe a new approach that is superior to the ineffectual volume approach. Determination of fractional excretion (FE) of urate has simplified the diagnosis of a reset osmostat, Addison's disease, edematous causes such as congestive heart failure, cirrhosis and nephrosis, volume depletion from extrarenal salt losses with normal renal tubular function and the difficult task of differentiating the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) from cerebral/renal salt wasting (C/RSW). SIADH and C/RSW have identical clinical and laboratory parameters but have diametrically opposite therapeutic goals of water-restricting water-loaded patients with SIADH or administering salt water to dehydrated patients with C/RSW. In a study of nonedematous patients with hyponatremia, we utilized FEurate and response to isotonic saline infusions to differentiate SIADH from C/RSW. Twenty-four (38%) of 62 hyponatremic patients had C/RSW with 21 having no clinical evidence of cerebral disease to support our important proposal to change cerebral to renal salt wasting (RSW). Seventeen (27%) had SIADH and 19 (31%) had a reset osmostat. One each from hydrochlorothiazide and Addison's disease. We demonstrated natriuretic activity in the plasma of patients with neurosurgical and Alzheimer diseases (AD) in rat clearance studies and have now identified the natriuretic protein to be haptoglobin related protein without signal peptide (HPRWSP). We introduce a new syndrome of RSW in AD that needs further confirmation. Future studies intend to develop HPRWSP as a biomarker to simplify the diagnosis of RSW in hyponatremic and normonatremic patients and explore other clinical applications that can improve clinical outcomes.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis as a rare cause of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. Ir J Med Sci 2022:10.1007/s11845-022-03107-6.

Abstract
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA, Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a rare multisystem necrotizing vasculitis that involves small- to medium-sized blood vessels. We report a rare case of syndrome of the inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion (SIADH) secondary to EGPA. A 53-year-old man applied with complaints of pain in the large joints and morning stiffness in knee for 2 months. The patient had the history of impaired fasting glucose, asthma, nasal polyps, and urticaria. Physical examination revealed intrinsic muscle atrophy and weakness in the right hand. Peripheral eosinophil count was 9.78 × 109/L (0.02-0.5), erythrocyte sedimentation rate 39 mm/h (0-20), and C-reactive protein 5.77 mg/dL (0-0.5). Migratory ground-glass pulmonary opacities had been reported in previous chest computed tomography scans. Echocardiography revealed findings compatible with eosinophilic involvement. Electroneuromyographic evaluation showed acute distal axonal neuropathy of right ulnar nerve. EGPA was considered. Oral methylprednisolone treatment was initiated. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and cyclophosphamide treatment and gradual tapering of oral steroids were planned. In 24-h urine analysis, sodium was 387 mEq, creatinine was 1156 mg, and volume was 3000 mL. When his medical records were investigated, it was observed that hyponatremia was present for nearly 2 years. While serum osmolality was 270, urine osmolality was 604 mOsm/kg H2O. So, SIADH diagnosis was made. Fluid intake was restricted. Although the patient's sodium level did not return to normal, it rose up to 130 mEq/L. After second cycle of EGPA treatment (cyclophosphamide and IVIG), serum sodium was normal. There is only four other documented cases of SIADH associated with EGPA. We hypothesized that blood supply to the hypothalamus and/or posterior hypophysis might be affected from EGPA vasculitis. Here, in this case, with effective treatment of EGPA, SIADH was resolved which implies a causality between two conditions.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disturbance seen in clinical practice, affecting up to 30% of acute hospital admissions, and is associated with significant adverse clinical outcomes. Acute or severe symptomatic hyponatremia carries a high risk of neurological morbidity and mortality. In contrast, chronic hyponatremia is associated with significant morbidity including increased risk of falls, osteoporosis, fractures, gait instability, and cognitive decline; prolonged hospital admissions; and etiology-specific increase in mortality. In this Approach to the Patient, we review and compare the current recommendations, guidelines, and literature for diagnosis and treatment options for both acute and chronic hyponatremia, illustrated by 2 case studies. Particular focus is concentrated on the diagnosis and management of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis. An understanding of the pathophysiology of hyponatremia, along with a synthesis of the duration of hyponatremia, biochemical severity, symptomatology, and blood volume status, forms the structure to guide the appropriate and timely management of hyponatremia. We present 2 illustrative cases that represent common presentations with hyponatremia and discuss the approach to management of these and other causes of hyponatremia.

Abstract
Copeptin derives from the same precursor peptide preprovasopressin as arginine vasopressin (AVP). The secretion of both peptides is stimulated by similar physiological processes, such as osmotic stimulation, hypovolemia, or stress. AVP is difficult to measure due to complex preanalytical requirements and due to technical difficulties. In the last years, copeptin was found to be a stable, sensitive, and simple to measure surrogate marker of AVP release. Different immunoassays exist to measure copeptin. The 2 assays which have most often be used in clinical studies are the original sandwich immunoluminometric assay and its automated immunofluorescent successor. In addition, various enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay have been developed. With the availability of the copeptin assay, the differential diagnosis of diabetes insipidus was recently revisited. The goal for this article is therefore to first review the physiology of copeptin, and second to describe its use as marker for the differential diagnosis of vasopressin-dependent fluid disorders, mainly diabetes insipidus but also hyper- and hyponatremia. Furthermore, we highlight the role of copeptin as prognostic marker in other acute and chronic diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Copeptin concentrations are a useful component of the diagnostic workup of paediatric patients with polyuria and polydipsia, but the value of measuring copeptin in patients with hyponatraemia is less clear. CASE REPORTS We report 5 children with hyponatraemia in the context of different underlying pathologies. Copeptin concentrations were elevated in 4 cases (13.7, 14.4, 26.1, and 233 pmol/L; reference range 2.4-8.6 pmol/L), suggesting that non-osmoregulated vasopressin release (syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone) was the underlying mechanism for low sodium levels. In one of the patients, there was an underlying diagnosis of Schaaf-Yang syndrome (MAGEL2 gene mutation) with a clinical picture suggestive of dysregulated vasopressin production with inappropriately high and then low copeptin release. In one hyponatraemic patient, low copeptin concentrations indicated that non-osmoregulated arginine vasopressin release was not the cause of hyponatraemia and oliguria. DISCUSSION Copeptin measurement did not influence management acutely but helped to clarify the mechanism leading to hyponatraemia when the result was available. Relatively high and low copeptin concentrations in association with hypo- and hypernatraemia indicate dysregulated vasopressin production in Schaaf-Yang syndrome.

Abstract
Paraneoplastic syndromes denote rare but notable phenomena caused by the tumour mediated release of bioactive substances. Peptide and non-peptide hormone causes are explored with a particular focus on pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Early detection and management of paraneoplastic syndromes can improve morbidly and mortality; definitive treatment remains effective surgical or anti-tumour therapies. Pituitary autoimmunity may provide a novel presentation of paraneoplastic syndromes for which further research is warranted.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) and lung cancer are the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. The burden of TB is significantly high in developing countries causing serious public health concern, and the incidence of lung cancer is also increasing all around the world with high mortality. Pulmonary TB coexisting with lung cancer can mask the underlying disorder producing diagnostic dilemma resulting in a delay in diagnosis leading to decreased survival of the patients. Here, we report a rare case of a 66-year-old male diagnosed with microbiologically confirmed TB along with coexisting small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung presenting with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone.

Abstract
Patients with hematological malignancies, both treated and untreated, or solid tumors undergoing treatment are at risk of life-threatening complications, which may present in the emergency department (ED). Such emergencies are diverse in etiology and often require prompt treatment. Traditional complications, such as febrile neutropenia, have had recent guideline updates, which incorporate new evidence and a new validated risk stratification tool. In addition, newer approaches to treatment, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, are becoming more widely available and have unique associated toxicities. This review discusses the management of the following hematological and oncological emergencies likely to be encountered in the ED: febrile neutropenia, CAR T-cell toxicities, differentiation syndrome, tumor lysis syndrome, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and hyponatremia.

Abstract
The majority of reviews on sports nutrition issues focus on macronutrients, often omitting or paying less attention to substances such as sodium. Through the literature, it is clear that there are no reviews that focus entirely on the effects of sodium and in particular on endurance sports. Sodium intake, both at high and low doses, has been found to be associated with health and performance issues in athletes. Besides, there have been theories that an electrolyte imbalance, specifically sodium, contributes to the development of muscle cramps (EAMC) and hyponatremia (EAH). For this reason, it is necessary to create this systematic review, in order to report extensively on the role of sodium consumption in the population and more specifically in endurance and ultra-endurance athletes, the relationship between the amount consumed and the occurrence of pathological disorders, the usefulness of simultaneous hydration and whether a disturbance of this substance leads to EAH and EAMC. As a method of data collection, this study focused on exploring literature from 2000–2021. The search was conducted through the research engines PubMed and Scopus. In order to reduce the health and performance effects in endurance athletes, simultaneous emphasis should be placed on both sodium and fluid intake.

Abstract
Background The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone is a disorder characterized by the excess release of antidiuretic hormone and can result in hyponatremia. If managed inappropriately, severe hyponatremia can cause seizures, cerebral edema, and even death. There are various known causes of this inappropriate release of antidiuretic hormone, including malignancy, CNS disorders, and disturbances in the hypothalamic-pituitary-renal axis. However, reports of syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone after brachytherapy for prostate cancer are exceedingly rare. Case presentation We report a case of symptomatic hyponatremia secondary to the inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone after prostate high-dose rate brachytherapy under general anesthesia in a patient with adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Conclusions In rare instances, inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone can occur after high-dose rate brachytherapy for prostate cancer. The cause is likely multifactorial, involving pain or discomfort ensuing from the surgical procedure, the general anesthesia or intraoperative drugs administered. However, due to the potential severity of the side effects, timely diagnosis is crucial to ensure prompt, and effective management.

Abstract
Sodium and potassium disorders are pervasive in patients with cancer. The causes of these abnormalities are wide-ranging, are often primary or second-order consequences of the underlying cancer, and have prognostic implications. The approach to hyponatremia should focus on cancer-related etiologies, such as syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, to the exclusion of other causes. Hypernatremia in non-iatrogenic forms is generally due to water loss rather than excessive sodium intake. Debilitated or dependent patients with cancer are particularly vulnerable to hypernatremia. Hypokalemia can occur in patients with cancer due to gastrointestinal disturbances, resulting from decreased intake or increased losses. Renal losses can occur as a result of excessive mineralocorticoid secretion or therapy-related nephrotoxicity. The approach to hyperkalemia should be informed by historical and laboratory clues, and pseudohyperkalemia is particularly common in patients with hematological cancers. Hyperkalemia can be seen in primary or metastatic disease that interrupts the adrenal axis. It can also develop as a consequence of immunotherapy, which can cause adrenalitis or hypophysitis. Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is defined by the development of hyperkalemia and is a medical emergency. Awareness of the electrolyte abnormalities that can befall patients with cancer is vital for its prompt recognition and management.

Abstract
The key message from the 1958 Edelman study states that combinations of external gains or losses of sodium, potassium and water leading to an increase of the fraction (total body sodium plus total body potassium) over total body water will raise the serum sodium concentration ([Na]S), while external gains or losses leading to a decrease in this fraction will lower [Na]S. A variety of studies have supported this concept and current quantitative methods for correcting dysnatremias, including formulas calculating the volume of saline needed for a change in [Na]S are based on it. Not accounting for external losses of sodium, potassium and water during treatment and faulty values for body water inserted in the formulas predicting the change in [Na]S affect the accuracy of these formulas. Newly described factors potentially affecting the change in [Na]S during treatment of dysnatremias include the following: (a) exchanges during development or correction of dysnatremias between osmotically inactive sodium stored in tissues and osmotically active sodium in solution in body fluids; (b) chemical binding of part of body water to macromolecules which would decrease the amount of body water available for osmotic exchanges; and (c) genetic influences on the determination of sodium concentration in body fluids. The effects of these newer developments on the methods of treatment of dysnatremias are not well-established and will need extensive studying. Currently, monitoring of serum sodium concentration remains a critical step during treatment of dysnatremias.

Differential diagnosis between syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion and cerebral/renal salt wasting syndrome in children over 1 year: proposal for a simple algorithm. Pediatr Nephrol 2022; 37:1469-1478.

Abstract
Hyponatremia, especially if acute and severe, can be a life-threatening condition. Several conditions can trigger hyponatremia. In this review, we will discuss two conditions that can determine euvolemic hyponatremia: the cerebral/renal salt wasting (CRSW) syndrome and the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), including the two subtypes: reset osmostat (RO) and nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (NSIAD) and their differential diagnoses. Despite the passage of over 70 years since its first description, to date, the true etiopathogenesis of CRSW syndrome, a rare cause of hypovolemic/euvolemic hyponatremia, is almost unknown. SIADH, including RO and NSIAD, is sometimes difficult to differentiate from CRSW syndrome; in its differential diagnosis, the clinical approach based on the evaluation of the extracellular volume (ECV) was proven insufficient. We therefore suggest a simple diagnostic algorithm based on the assessment of the degree of hyponatremia, urinary osmolality, and the assessment of the fraction of urate excretion (FEUa) in conditions of hyponatremia and after serum sodium correction, to be applied in children over 1 year of life.

Abstract
Hyponatraemia is a common electrolyte abnormality seen in a wide range of oncological and haematological malignancies and confers poor performance status, prolonged hospital admission and reduced overall survival, in patients with cancer. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) is the commonest cause of hyponatraemia in malignancy and is characterised by clinical euvolaemia, low plasma osmolality and concentrated urine, with normal renal, adrenal and thyroid function. Causes of SIAD include ectopic production of vasopressin (AVP) from an underlying tumour, cancer treatments, nausea and pain. Cortisol deficiency is an important differential in the assessment of hyponatraemia, as it has an identical biochemical pattern to SIAD and is easily treatable. This is particularly relevant with the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, which can cause hypophysitis and adrenalitis, leading to cortisol deficiency. Guidelines on the management of acute, symptomatic hyponatraemia recommend 100 mL bolus of 3% saline with careful monitoring of the serum sodium to prevent overcorrection. In cases of chronic hyponatraemia, fluid restriction is recommended as first-line treatment; however, this is frequently not feasible in patients with cancer and has been shown to have limited efficacy. Vasopressin-2 receptor antagonists (vaptans) may be preferable, as they effectively increase sodium levels in SIAD and do not require fluid restriction. Active management of hyponatraemia is increasingly recognised as an important component of oncological management; correction of hyponatraemia is associated with shorter hospital stay and prolonged survival. The awareness of the impact of hyponatraemia and the positive benefits of active restoration of normonatraemia remain challenging in oncology.

Abstract
Background Hyponatremia is a well-known adverse event of repeated therapy with vincristine in oncological patients. However, to date, data in pediatric patients with malignant diseases other than acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are sparse or lacking. Materials and Methods A retrospective study of 98 pediatric patients was conducted to analyze the incidence of hyponatremia in a Caucasian cohort of newly diagnosed ALL. For comparison, we further examined five other pediatric oncological cohorts (Hodgkin’s disease, Ewing sarcoma, Wilms tumor, benign glioma of the CNS, Langerhans cell histiocytosis) that receive alkaloids in their induction regimes. Results We found a high incidence of hyponatremia (14.7%) in our ALL cohort with a trend toward male patients of elementary school age. None of the affected patients showed neurological symptoms. By comparison, patients from other malignancy groups did not show significant hyponatremia, regardless of their comparable therapy with alkaloids. We here show a noticeable coincidence of hyponatremia and hypertriglyceridemia in ALL patients, indicating a possible role of L-asparaginase-related hypertriglyceridemia in the development of severe hyponatremia in such patients. Conclusion We report a higher incidence of hyponatremia following vincristine therapy in Caucasian children with ALL than published before. This hyponatremia could not be demonstrated in other oncologic cohorts treated with alkaloids. L-Asparaginase-induced hypertriglyceridemia may play a role in the certainly multifactorial development of hyponatremia in childhood leukemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to analyze the difference between cerebral salt-wasting syndrome (CSWS) and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in patients with hyponatremia after hypothalamic tumor surgery, and to explore a convenient and effective way to identify CSWS and SIADH. METHODS Patients undergoing craniotomy of hypothalamic tumor admitted to the Department of The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from December 2018 to May 2020 were enrolled in this study. Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), 24-h urine sodium, 24-h urine volume, and the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVCD) were measured daily before operation and 1-7 days after operation, to analyze differences in plasma BNP, 24-h urinary sodium excretion, 24-h urine volume, and IVCD between the CSWS and SIADH. RESULTS The medical data of 31 patients with hypothalamic tumors were collected. Fifteen of these patients (48%) had postoperative hyponatremia, nine patients (29%) had CSWS, and six patients (19%) had SIADH. Plasma BNP, 24-h urinary sodium excretion, and 24-h urine volume in the CSWS group were significantly higher than those in the SIADH group. IVCD decreased in the CSWS group and increased in the SIADH group. CONCLUSIONS When hyponatremia occurs after hypothalamic tumor surgery, plasma BNP, 24-h urinary sodium excretion, 24-h urine volume, and IVCD are of great help in identifying CSWS and SIADH.

Abstract
A multitude of disease and therapy related factors drive the frequent development of kidney disorders in cancer patients. Along with chemotherapy, the newer targeted therapeutics can also cause kidney dysfunction through on and off-target mechanisms. Interestingly, among the small molecule inhibitors approved for the treatment of cancers that harbor BRAF-kinase activating mutations, vemurafenib can trigger tubular damage and acute kidney injury. BRAF is a proto-oncogene involved in cell growth. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we developed cell culture and mouse models of vemurafenib kidney toxicity. At clinically relevant concentrations vemurafenib induces cell-death in transformed and primary mouse and human kidney tubular epithelial cells. In mice, two weeks of daily vemurafenib treatment causes moderate acute kidney injury with histopathological characteristics of kidney tubular epithelial cells injury. Importantly, kidney tubular epithelial cell-specific BRAF gene deletion did not influence kidney function under normal conditions or alter the severity of vemurafenib-associated kidney impairment. Instead, we found that inhibition of ferrochelatase, an enzyme involved in heme biosynthesis contributes to vemurafenib kidney toxicity. Ferrochelatase overexpression protected kidney tubular epithelial cells and conversely ferrochelatase knockdown increased the sensitivity to vemurafenib-induced kidney toxicity. Thus, our studies suggest that vemurafenib-associated kidney tubular epithelial cell dysfunction and kidney toxicity is BRAF-independent and caused, in part, by off-target ferrochelatase inhibition.

Abstract
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is a common cause of hyponatremia, and many cases represent adverse reactions to drugs that alter ion channel conductance within the peptidergic nerve terminals of the posterior pituitary. The frequency of drug-induced SIADH increases with age; as many as 20% of patients residing in nursing homes have serum sodium levels below 135 mEq/L. Mild hyponatremia is associated with cognitive changes, gait instability, and falls. Severe hyponatremia is associated with cerebral edema, seizures, permanent disability, and/or death. Although pharmacogenetic tests are now being deployed for some drugs capable of causing SIADH (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics, and opioid analgesics), the implementation of these tests has been based upon the prior known association of these drugs with other serious adverse drug reactions (e.g., electrocardiographic abnormalities). Work is needed in large observational cohorts to quantify the strength of association between pharmacogene variants and drug-induced SIADH so that decision support can be developed to identify patients at high risk.

Abstract
Postoperative hyponatremia is common. It results from the physiological antidiuretic hormone (ADH) response to surgery and associated exacerbating factors. Common exacerbating factors include medications, excessive fluid administration, and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion. High-dose trimethoprim can cause transient salt-losing nephropathy, resulting in SIADH-like hyponatremia associated with hypovolemia, hyperkalemia, and metabolic acidosis. We present a patient who developed symptoms of vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, and abdominal discomfort six days after having a transurethral bladder wall biopsy. He had also started a course of trimethoprim two days prior to the onset of the symptoms. Initial investigations demonstrated severe hyponatremia, concentrated urine, and compensated metabolic acidosis. These results suggested postoperative SIADH possibly exacerbated by trimethoprim-related hyponatremia. Cautious IV normal sodium chloride infusion resulted in a rapid recovery. While raising the awareness of postoperative hyponatremia, this case also highlights the difficulty distinguishing between SIADH and trimethoprim-related hyponatremia.

Abstract
Introduction Thiazide and loop-diuretics are among the most widely used drugs in the therapy of hypertension and chronic heart failure. Furthermore, hyponatremia is the most prevalent electrolyte imbalance affecting up to 25-30% of hospitalized patients while syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) is involving approximately 35% of hyponatraemic inpatients. Clinical and laboratoristic algorithms support the differential diagnosis of hypotonic hyponatremia in actual guidelines of SIAD, but a potential bias is represented by the misleading clinical assessment of the extracellular volume status in diuretic-treated patients where the necessity of withdrawal of the therapy is mandatory. We investigated the role of fractional uric acid and potassium excretion (FEUA and FEK) in the differential diagnosis of hypotonic hyponatremia in SIAD and diuretic-treated patients. Methods Thirty-six SIAD, 30 thiazide-induced hyponatremia (TIH), and 32 diuretic-induced hyponatremia (DIH) patients were investigated calculating FEUA and FEK values in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to improve the diagnostic approach of hypotonic hyponatremia. Results The combination of the two investigated markers showed different significative results generating patterns useful to discriminate among the three different hyponatremic groups. Conclusion The fractional uric acid and potassium excretion could be considered as new markers in the diagnostic approach of hyponatremic diuretic-treated patients where classical algorithms could fail.

Abstract
: The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is the most common cause of euvolemic hyponatremia, and many disorders have been associated with it. Baroreflex failure is a rare disorder characterized by extreme blood pressure (BP) fluctuations, most frequently caused by neck or head trauma and irradiation. We report a case of a 48-year-old patient referred to our department for asymptomatic hyponatremia and volatile hypertension. His past medical history included nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with surgery and bilateral neck radiation. Following the diagnostic algorithm for hyponatremia, the diagnosis of SIADH was made. Ambulatory BP monitoring revealed highly variable BP; extensive autonomic nervous system function testing suggested baroreflex-cardiovagal failure. We propose the hypothesis that not only labile hypertension because of baroreflex failure but also hyponatremia can develop as a late consequence of neck trauma and irradiation.

[PMID: 33516801 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2021.135671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral Salt wasting (CSW) is common in Tuberculous Meningitis (TBM) and is suggested to be due to sympathetic dysregulation of renal blood supply but has not been proven. OBJECTIVE To evaluate plasma Catecholamines in TBM patients with CSW and correlate with the markers of stress. MATERIALS AND METHODS The diagnosis of TBM was based on clinical, CSF and MRI criteria. Catecholamines level was measured by LC-MS on admission, at the time of hyponatremia and on correction of hyponatremia. Catecholamine levels were correlated with clinical and laboratory markers of stress, hyponatremia and severity of CSW using pre-defined criteria. RESULTS There were 24 patients with TBM (12 with CSW) and 12 controls. The median age of patients was 31 (18-75) years and 12 (50 %) were females. TBM patients with CSW had significantly higher levels of catecholamines compared to controls (p < 0.001). TBM patients with CSW had higher levels of norepinephrine than those without CSW (p = 0.034). Sequential studies revealed that dopamine and epinephrine increased at the time of hyponatremia and declined on its correction. Severity of TBM was related to dopamine (p = 0.04) and severity of CSW was related to epinephrine (p = 0.016). CONCLUSION CSW in TBM seems to be related to catecholamine dysregulation.

Abstract
A 54-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of gross hematuria and difficulty urinating. Cystoscopy revealed a tumor 4 cm in size with calcification on top of the bladder. After diagnosis of urachal carcinoma by transurethral resection of the bladder, partial cystectomy with en bloc resection of the median umbilical ligament and pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed. Pathological diagnosis confirmed urachal carcinoma, pT3b, ly1, v0, pN1, RM0. TS-1 and cisplatin chemotherapy (TS-1 at 100 mg/day on days 1-21, CDDP at 60 mg/m2 on day 8) was administered. On day 13, the patient was admitted because of consciousness disorder (Glasgow Coma Scale E2V1M4). Hyponatremia (Na 109 mEq/l) and renal excretion of sodium were present and the patient was diagnosed with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) induced by chemotherapy. Serum sodium level and her consciousness level gradually improved after administration of 3% saline. SIADH caused by chemotherapy containing cisplatin is a relatively rare, but potentially serious adverse effect that requires close attention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hyponatremia occurs in up to 30% of patients with pneumonia and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of hyponatremia associated with coronavirus disease 2019 and the impact on outcome is unknown. We aimed to identify the prevalence, predictors, and impact on outcome of mild, moderate, and severe admission hyponatremia compared with normonatremia among coronavirus disease 2019 patients. DESIGN Retrospective, multicenter, observational cohort study. SETTING Four New York City hospitals that are part of the same health network. PATIENTS Hospitalized, laboratory-confirmed adult coronavirus disease 2019 patients admitted between March 1, 2020, and May 13, 2020. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Hyponatremia was categorized as mild (sodium: 130-134 mmol/L), moderate (sodium: 121-129 mmol/L), or severe (sodium: ≤ 120 mmol/L) versus normonatremia (135-145 mmol/L). The primary outcome was the association of increasing severity of hyponatremia and in-hospital mortality assessed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Secondary outcomes included encephalopathy, acute renal failure, mechanical ventilation, and discharge home compared across sodium levels using Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests. In exploratory analysis, the association of sodium levels and interleukin-6 levels (which has been linked to nonosmotic release of vasopressin) was assessed. Among 4,645 patient encounters, hyponatremia (sodium < 135 mmol/L) occurred in 1,373 (30%) and 374 of 1,373 (27%) required invasive mechanical ventilation. Mild, moderate, and severe hyponatremia occurred in 1,032 (22%), 305 (7%), and 36 (1%) patients, respectively. Each level of worsening hyponatremia conferred 43% increased odds of in-hospital death after adjusting for age, gender, race, body mass index, past medical history, admission laboratory abnormalities, admission Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, renal failure, encephalopathy, and mechanical ventilation (adjusted odds ratio, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.08-1.88; p = 0.012). Increasing severity of hyponatremia was associated with encephalopathy, mechanical ventilation, and decreased probability of discharge home (all p < 0.001). Higher interleukin-6 levels correlated with lower sodium levels (p = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS Hyponatremia occurred in nearly a third of coronavirus disease 2019 patients, was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality, and was associated with increased risk of encephalopathy and mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cyclophosphamide (CY) is an alkylating agent used widely to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases. Hyponatremia is a common adverse effect of high-dose and moderate-dose of intravenous CY, but is rare in patients treated with low-dose (<15 mg/kg). PATIENT CONCERNS A 52-year-old woman with new-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was treated with low-dose cyclophosphamide (8 mg/kg, CY), but showed sudden headaches, disorientation and weakness. Laboratory examinations revealed severe isovolumic hyponatremia along with low-serum osmolality and high urine osmolality. DIAGNOSIS The acute hyponatremia was consistent with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) and was an adverse event of low-dose CY, with no evidence of endocrine, cancer, pulmonary, or cerebral abnormalities relevant to the SIADH. INTERVENTION The hyponatremia was resolved after the supplementation of NaCl solution. OUTCOMES The hyponatremia was resolved without any complications. LESSONS Hyponatremia induced by low-dose CY should be recognized as an underlying life-threatening complication in clinical practice.

Abstract
Paraneoplastic syndromes can commonly occur due to lung cancer, especially small cell lung cancer. Frequently paraneoplastic syndromes can precede the diagnosis of the neoplasm or present with limited stage disease. However, these syndromes can also occur at the time of recurrence or metastasis of disease. This review focuses on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, and current management of the most common paraneoplastic syndromes encountered in patients with small cell lung cancer. Manifestations of paraneoplastic syndromes in small cell lung cancer include endocrine syndromes with secretion of excess hormones, and neurologic syndromes due to the production of antibodies causing an autoimmune condition. Recent advances have allowed for greater understanding of these syndromes and for the development of improved diagnostic as well as therapeutic tools. Awareness of paraneoplastic syndromes in small cell lung cancer can lead to an earlier diagnosis and recognition of both the condition and in some cases the disease potentially improving the overall survival and prognosis for patients. Further research examining effective methods to improve recovery from neurologic deficits in patients with a paraneoplastic neurologic illness is warranted.

Abstract
Hyponatremia, defined as serum sodium concentration <135 mEq/l, is the most common electrolyte balance disorder in clinical practice. Many causes are listed, but syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is certainly the most relevant, mainly in oncological and hospitalized patients. In this review, the pathophysiological and clinical aspects are described in detail. Patients’ extensive medical history and structured physical and biochemical tests are considered the milestones marking the way of the SIADH management as to provide early detection and proper correction. We focused our attention on the poor prognostic role and negative effect on patient’s quality of life of SIADH-induced hyponatremia in both malignant and non-malignant settings, stressing how optimal management of this electrolyte imbalance can result in improved outcomes and lower health costs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The topic of hyponatremia is in a state of flux. We review a new approach to diagnosis that is superior to previous methods. It simplifies identifying the causes of hyponatremia, the most important issue being the differentiation of the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) from cerebral/renal salt wasting (RSW). We also report on the high prevalence of RSW without cerebral disease in the general wards of the hospital. RECENT FINDINGS We applied our new approach to hyponatremia by utilizing sound pathophysiologic criteria in 62 hyponatremic patients. Seventeen (27%) had SIADH, 19 (31%) had a reset osmostat, 24 (38%) had RSW with 21 having no evidence of cerebral disease, 1 had Addison's disease, and 1 was because of hydrochlorothiazide. Many had urine sodium concentrations (UNa) less than 30 mmol/l. SUMMARY RSW is much more common than perceived in the general wards of the hospital. It is important to change the terminology from cerebral to RSW and to differentiate SIADH from RSW. These changes will improve clinical outcomes because of divergent therapeutic goals of water-restricting in SIADH and administering salt and water to a dehydrated patient with RSW. The present review will hopefully spur others to reflect and act on the new findings and different approaches to hyponatremia.

Abstract
Hyponatraemia is the most common electrolyte imbalance found in hospital population and worldwide thiazide and loop-diuretics are among the most widely used drugs. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis diagnosis (SIAD) is complicated in the presence of diuretic therapy due to the misleading clinical assessment of the extracellular volume status, and in order to make SIAD diagnosis it is often necessary to withdraw diuretic therapy. Our study aimed to investigate the diagnostic role of these alternative markers of volume status, serum uric acid (sUA) and fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA), in hyponatraemic patients treated with different diuretic drugs. Eighty-nine patients were enrolled with the diagnosis of SIAD, diuretic-induced hyponatremia (DIH, treated with furosemide and potassium canrenoate) or thiazide-induced hyponatremia (TIH, treated with hydrochlorothiazide, metolazone or indapamide) and investigated with receiver operating characteristic analysis and a sensitivity test. Our results show that FEUA discriminated better than sUA between SIAD and DIH patients (area under curve 0.96, <0.001 vs. 0.88, <0.001) while it was a poor marker to discriminate between SIAD and TIH (0.65, NS vs. 0.67, NS). In conclusions, FEUA is an excellent marker to discriminate SIAD vs. sodium depleted patients treated with furosemide and/or potassium canrenoate while the diuretic withdrawal, beyond obtaining a serum Na normalization, is still mandatory for differential diagnosis of sodium depleted patients affected by thiazide-induced hyponatraemia.
