Hyponatremia, Cerebral Salt-Wasting Syndrome and Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion, Cerebral Salt-Wasting Syndromes

Abstract

The electrolyte imbalance has a big incidence in hospitalized patients and the
hyponatremia (HN) is at the first place and has been present approximately in 34%
of the incoming patients, and up to 50% regarding neurological patients; as an effect
mortality has increased in the long-term hospitalization, in a high number of readmissions,
and hence in an increment in hospital costs.
Therefore, it is mandatory to treat, however, in some cases it persists, and it is
refractory on handling it, wherewith drives the diagnosis to two pathologies:
Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH) and the Cerebral
Salt-Wasting Syndromes (CSWS); pathologies which are considered the principal
causes for hyponatremia (HN) in the neurological patient.
Hence, it is essential to know and learn how to diagnose these clinical entities, with the
purpose to decrease associated complications and the systemic literary review has as
a purpose offer an approach to those pathologies, in this way the health professional
can account for a bigger number on tools to identify and treat the hyponatremia (HN)
in the neurological patient.
