Severe hypernatremia is an important electrolyte disorder that has serious effects. The patient had no medical history. A. 20-year-old ingested bamboo salt for digestion and weight reduction according to the folk remedies posted on an internet website. She presented with vomiting and diarrhea over ten times per day. Her initial serum sodium concentration was 174mEq/L. Her symptoms improved rapidly with hypotonic saline infusion. She recovered completely without any sequelae in three days. Severe hypernatremia in a normal young adult with clear consciousness and normal renal function has not been reported in Korea yet. So we report a case of severe hypernatremia by excessive bamboo salt ingestion in healthy young woman.
严重高钠血症是一种具有严重影响的重要电解质紊乱。该患者无病史。一名20岁女性按照互联网网站上发布的民间疗法摄入竹盐以促进消化和减轻体重。她出现每天呕吐和腹泻十多次的症状。她最初的血清钠浓度为174mEq/L。通过输注低渗盐水，她的症状迅速改善。三天后她完全康复，没有任何后遗症。韩国尚未报道过意识清醒且肾功能正常的正常年轻成年人发生严重高钠血症的情况。因此，我们报告一例健康年轻女性因过量摄入竹盐导致严重高钠血症的病例。
