Approach to the patient with
electrolyte disorders
Hyponatremia-Hypernatremia
Zehra Eren, M.D.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• recall body water and fluid distribution
• recall serum osmolality
• recall etiology of hyponatremia and hypernatremia
• describe sing and symptoms of hyponatremia and
hypernatremia
• describe laboratory findings of hyponatremia and
hypernatremia
• explane treatment of hyponatremia and
hypernatremia
Solute Composition of Body Water
• Predominant solutes in ECF:
Sodium (Na+)
Chloride (Cl−)
Bicarbonate (HCO3−)
• Predominant solutes in ICF:
Potassium (K+)
Protein−
Phosphate−
Osmolality
• Posm=2×plasma Na+ +
Glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
Osmolality
• Normal ECF osmolality: 280-290mOsm/kgH2O
• ECF and ICF are in osmotic equilibrium, at
steady state
• Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
-osmotic stumuli
-nonosmotic stumuli: HF, Cirrhosis, vomiting,
postoperative pain, pregnancy
Hyponatremia
• Serum Na <135 mEq/L
European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM)

Association (ERA–EDTA)
Hyponatremia
• Serum Na <135 mEq/L
Hyponatremia is a disorder of water balance
Dısorders of water and sodium balance
• Hyponatremia (too much water)
• Hypernatremia (too little water)
• Hypovolemia (too little sodium, the main
extracellular solute)
• Edema (too much sodium with associated
water retention)
Hyponatremia
• almost always due to the oral or intravenous
intake of water that cannot be completely
excreted
• impaired water excretion that is most often
due to an inability to suppress the release of
antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or to advanced
renal failure
Diagnosis
• Volume status and serum osmolality are
essential to determine etiology
• Hyponatremia usually reflects excess water
retention relative to sodium rather than sodium
deficiency, the sodium concentration is not a
measure of total body sodium
• Hypotonic fluids commonly cause hyponatremia
in hospitalized patients

causes of hypotonic hyponatraemia?

diagnosis and treatment of
hyponatraemia; Nephrol Dial

Symptoms and Sing of Hyponatremia
• symptoms depends on severity and acuity
hyponatremia
• the symptoms reflect neurologic dysfunction
induced by cerebral edema and possible adaptive
responses of brain cels to osmotic swelling
• Nausea, malaise, headache, lethargy, seizures,
coma, respiratory arrest
• the physical examination should help categorize
the patient's volume status into hypovolemia,
euvolemia, or hypervolemia.

Na+ deficit ≈
body weight X 0.6 X
(desired plasma Na+ concentration –
plasma Na+ concentration)
1mg/dl/ h
10-12mg/dl /24h
Hypernatremia
• Serum Na>145 mEq/L
Symptoms and Sings of Hypernatremia
• Dehydrated patient → orthostatic hypotension
and oliguria
• Rise in plasma Na and osmolality
→water movement out of the brain
→rupture of the cerebral veins
→focal intracerebral and subarachnoidal
hemorrages→possible ireversible neurologic
damage
• Lethargy, weaknees, irritability, twitching,
seuzures, coma
• Osmotic demyelination (uncommon)
Laboratory Findings
• Urine osmolality > 400 mosm/kg → renal
water-conserving ability is functioning (hypotonic
fluid losses from excessive sweating, the respiratory tract, or bowel
movements and lactulose)
• Urine osmolality < 250 mosm/kg →
characteristic of DI
-Central DI: inadequate ADH release
-Nephrogenic DI: renal insensitivity to ADH
(lithium, demeclocycline, relief of urinary obstruction, interstitial nephritis,
hypercalcemia, and hypokalemia)
• Water deficit ≈
body weight X 0.6 X
(plasma Na concentration/
desired plasma Na concentration) - 1
Case 1
• A 72-year-old woman from a nursing home presents to the
emergency department with a change in her mental state
over the past few hours. She has a medical history of
coronary artery disease and hypertension.
• Her medications include hydrochlorothiazide: 25 mg a
day, and aspirin, 80 mg a day.
• On physical examination, she has decreased skin turgor,
orthostatic hypotension, and disorientation to time, place,
and person without focal neurologic deficits.
• Initial laboratory tests show a serum sodium level of 110
mmol/L;blood urea nitrogen 65 mg/dL; creatinine
3.6mg/dL and plasma osmolality, 278 mOsm/kg of water.
• Her serum sodium level 2 months before admission was
135 mmol/L, and her urine output was 400 mL a day.
Case2
• A 82-year-old women with Dementia, HTN and DM is
admitted for work-up of hyponatremia. Her sodium has
been 118 for the last 4 days.
• She is taking Paxil for depression and she is not on any
diuretics.
Case 3
• A 85 year-old male presents to the emergency room with
pneumonia. He has been febrile for several days and has
had a cough productive of yellow sputum.
• On physical exam he is a well-developed, thin male in
moderate respiratory distress. Blood pressure (supine)
120/86, pulse 74, blood pressure 115/85, pulse 70,
respirations 24. Temperature was 39oC. Body weight 60 kg.
Cardiopulmonary exam demonstrated decreased breath
sounds at the base of the right lung.
• Sodium 120 mmol/L, Potassium 3.9, BUN 10 mg/dl ,
Creatinine 0.8 mg/dl, U Osmolality 500

Case4
• A 60 year-old male with alcoholic cirrhosis presents to your
office because of worsening edema.
• On physical exam the patient is a well-developed, poorly
nourished, jaundiced male in mild distress due to his
anasarca. Blood pressure (supine) 110/75, pulse 100,
(standing) 90/60, pulse 120, respirations 23 and he was
afebrile. Body weight 80 kg. Cardiopulmonary exam was
unremarkable. The abdomen was remarkable for tense
ascites and a shrunken liver. Lower extremities had 3+
pitting edema.
