Research Hotspot & Journal Scope - Hyponatremia

Recently, we experienced a case of a hypertensive patient in her seventies taking a thiazide diuretic, who presented with disorientation due to severe hyponatremia (serum sodium level, 104 mmol/l) on admission.

9% sodium chloride due to persistent hyponatremia.

Overly rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia must be avoided in all cases.

His hyponatremia improved when the sorafenib was stopped, suggesting that this was a rare case of hyponatremia induced by sorafenib.

Considering also the relevant literature, health professionals should pay enough attention to thiazide- or drug-induced hyponatremia and the impact of water/salt intake for heat exposure.
