The Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuresis

Vortioxetine-induced syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone: A case report

BACKGROUND

Vortioxetine, known for its efficacy in treating depression through its effects on various neurotransmitters, has not been previously reported to induce syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH).

CASE PRESENTATION

This case report describes a 74-year-old man with major depressive disorder who developed SIADH 1 week after starting treatment with vortioxetine. SIADH is characterized by symptoms such as headache, nausea, disorientation, and seizures, stemming from hyponatremia (123 mEq/L), without dehydration or edema. Vortioxetine was discontinued, and an alternative drug, mianserin, was initiated. The patient was restricted from drinking water due to hyponatremia. The serum Na concentration improved over time to within the normal range by the second week after admission.

CONCLUSION

This is the first case report of vortioxetine-induced SIADH.

Updates in hyponatremia and hypernatremia

PURPOSE OF REVIEW

Hyponatremia and hypernatremia are commonly encountered electrolyte abnormalities that require timely and careful intervention, as they can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

RECENT FINDINGS

This review article addresses the etiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management of both hyponatremia and hypernatremia, emphasizing the latest advancements and emerging trends in pediatric care.

SUMMARY

A methodical approach is needed to accurately assess and treat hyponatremia and hypernatremia. Both conditions continue to rely on serum and urine testing, however newer tests such as copeptin and stimulated testing may hold promise to further refine testing in the future.

Worldwide productivity and research trend of publications concerning SIAD: a bibliometric study

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.

Case report: abemaciclib-induced syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) without underlying kidney injury in a patient with early-stage estrogen receptor (ER)+ breast cancer

The CDK4/6 inhibitor, abemaciclib, is now the standard of care adjuvant therapy for patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) tumors at high risk of recurrence. Real-world usage uncovers emerging side effects that may have been previously unreported in clinical trials. Here, we present the clinical course of a patient who developed a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) without underlying kidney injury due to abemaciclib use.
