A 56-year old female patient who was undergoing follow-up for cervical cancer in our oncology center was presented to the emergency center with anxiety and excessive thirst. The initial serum sodium level of the patient exceeded 200mEq/L, rising up to 238mEq/L during hospitalization. The extremely severe hypernatremia was caused by patient's wrong belief that bay salt would cure the cancer. The patient was treated with hypotonic solution and finally with appropriate hydration, she was fully recovered without any neurological complications.
一名56岁的女性患者在我们肿瘤中心接受宫颈癌随访时，因焦虑和极度口渴被送往急诊中心。患者最初的血清钠水平超过200mEq/L，住院期间升至238mEq/L。这种极其严重的高钠血症是由于患者错误地认为海盐能治愈癌症所致。患者接受了低渗溶液治疗，最终通过适当的补液，她完全康复，没有任何神经并发症。
