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

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?

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

been 118 for the last 4 days.
• She is taking Paxil for depression and she is not on any
diuretics.

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.
