Dysnatremias are among the most common mineral imbalances encountered in clinical practice. Both hyponatremia and hypernatremia are associated with increased morbiditidy and mortality and represent negative prognostic factors regardless of their cause. Serum osmolality, extracellular fluid volume and sodium urine concentration are important parameters for evaluation the cause and differential diagnosis. The rate of onset of ionic disorder and severity of clinical symptoms are essential. While acute disorders with symptoms are treated immediately, in chronic disorders, thorough diagnostic evaluation and a careful approach to their correction are necessary. Especially with rapid substitution of chronic hyponatremia, there is a risk of osmotic demyelination syndrome. Therefore, a slow correction of the serum sodium level with frequent mineralogram checks is required.

INTRODUCTION: Hyponatraemia is associated with increased mortality in patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis. In anuric patients, hyponatraemia development depends on the water-sodium ratio in retained fluid within the interdialysis interval (IDI). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to calculate the retained sodium-retained water ratio in patients on maintenance haemodialysis and make a differential diagnosis of hyponatraemia according to these data. METHODS: The amount of retained water was determined as body weight gain (ΔBW) within the IDI. Sodium retention was calculated using our formula: eRNa+ = ΔBW × (SNa+)t2 - total body water (TBW)t1 × ([SNa+]t1 - [SNa+]t2), where TBW represents the calculated volume of the total body water and (SNa+)t1 and (SNa+)t2 represent the sodium concentration at the beginning and at the end of the IDI, respectively. We performed 89 measurements in 32 anuric patients on maintenance haemodialysis. RESULTS: Hyponatraemia was detected in 13 measurements at the end of the IDI. The ΔBW had no statistically significant difference between normonatraemic and hyponatraemic patients. Hyponatraemic patients had significantly lower levels of retained sodium. The retained water--retained sodium ratio facilitated in differentiating dilution hyponatraemia, nutritional hyponatraemia, depletion hyponatraemia, and dilution hyponatraemia associated with sodium wasting or malnutrition. CONCLUSION: The composition of retained fluid during the IDI may be hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic in relation to the extracellular fluid. Most of the hyponatraemic patients had hypotonic fluid retained during the IDI because of dilution as well as gastrointestinal sodium loss and/or malnutrition.

UNLABELLED: The differential diagnosis of hyponatremia is often difficult. This most frequently occurring disorder of the water and electrolyte metabolism is frequently connected with deviations relating to the acid-base balance (ABB). This survey analyzes the relationship between the changes of the volume of body fluids and ABB and infers to what extent the analysis of combinations of the two disorders can support the differential diagnosis of different forms of hyponatremia (differentiation between the dilution vs. depletion forms). The changes of the total water volume (CTV) and ABB may be presented at the same time in the values of the difference and ratio between serum concentrations of natrium and chlorides (SNa+ - SCl-; SNa+/SCl-). The changes of these quantities are analyzed in the models of pathologies connected through hyponatremia and ABB related deviations: (i) retention of solute-free water (hyponatremia associated with dilution acidosis); (ii) retention Na+ in combination with water retention (hyponatremia associated with dilution and hyperchloremic acidosis); (iii) depletion Na+ combined with water depletion (depletion hyponatremia combined with hypochloremic alkalosis), and (iv) combination of dilution and depletion (hyponatremia which may be associated with different ABB related deviations). This survey specifies the extent to which the applied models are consistent with the existing clinical findings and experience. The examinations SNa+ - SCl- and SNa+/SCl- rely only on routinely used laboratory test methods. Monitoring of these quantities may contribute to continuous assessment of the effect of a chosen therapy. KEY WORDS: acid-base balance - depletion hyponatremia - differential diagnosis of hyponatremia - dilution hyponatremia - hyponatremia - retention of solute-free water - body fluid volumes.
This present review analyzes the etiology, diagnostics and management of conditions associated with hyponatremia. Excess water and/or sodium wasting lead to the development of hyponatremia in children. There are diverse etiologies associated with hyponatremia, correct diagnosis is based on detailed history, physical examination and basic laboratory tests. Symptomatic hyponatremia can be a life threatening emergency and thus requires fast and vigorous management. Inappropriate treatment may cause fatal consequences.

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte imbalance in outpatients and hospital inpatients and the syndrom of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is one of the common causes of euvolemic hyponatremia. Recent studies showed significantly higher mortality and morbidity of hyponatriemic patients compared to normonatriemic controls. Moreover the morbidity and mortality of hyponatremic patients significantly increases in nontreated in comparison to those with the therapy. Clinical consequences of hyponatremia in SIADH could be devided according to stage of the disorder. The cerebral oedema with its symptoms (letargy, weakness, nausea, coma) is the most dangerous clinical feature. Clinical symptoms of hyponatremia also depend on how rapid the change of natremia is. Therefore the early diagnosis of disturbance and treatment are necessary. Not only acute but also chronic hyponatriemia must be treated. In the correction the restriction of water intake, loop diuretics (together with hypertonic solution of NaCl), demeclocyclin, urea and litium can be used. The blockers of vasopresin receptors - vaptans are perspective in treatment of patients with hyponatremia.

AIMS: The aim of the study was to analyse in-hospital outcomes and long-term prognostic implications of reduced sodium serum level (S-Na) in the early phase of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated, primarily, with direct percutaneous coronary intervention (dPCI). METHODS AND RESULTS: The study included 218 consecutive patients (144 males, the mean age 64 ± 13 years) with no history of heart failure admitted with acute STEMI. Out of them, 193 (88.5%) patients were treated with dPCI. The mean follow-up period was 39 ± 21 months. Hyponatremia was defined as S-Na value < 135 mmol/L. A total of 72 (33%) patients reached hyponatremia level; 51(23.4%) of them at admission and 21 (9.6%) later during hospitalization. The hyponatremic patients more frequently presented with reduced left ventricular systolic function, Killip class III or IV and were at increased risk of developing cardiogenic shock compared to patients with normonatremia. Compared to the rest of the population, patients who developed hyponatremia later during hospitalization had higher incidence of acute renal failure; (12 patients/6.1% vs. 5 patients/25.5%, p < 0.05). The difference in long-term survival between the hyponatremia and normonatremia groups was significant (p = 0.01, log-rank test). The multiple analysis of variance identified decrease of S-Na levels at admission independently associated with total mortality (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION: Patients who developed hyponatremia in the early phase of STEMI were at higher risk of worse in-hospital clinical outcome. During the long-term follow-up, higher mortality rates were recorded in hyponatremic patients.
