We present a case of severe symptomatic hyponatremia (94 mEq/L) in a male patient who presented with nausea, vomiting, and multiple falls. The patient was found with symptomatic hypo-osmolar hypovolemic hyponatremia secondary to volume loss from vomiting, diuretic use, and consumption of solute-free water. To manage such a severely hyponatremic patient, concomitant 3% hypertonic saline and DDAVP were initiated with successful slow and sustained correction of sodium without complications of osmotic demyelination syndrome.
我们报告一例男性患者出现严重症状性低钠血症(94 mEq/L),表现为恶心、呕吐和多次跌倒。该患者被发现患有症状性低渗性低容量性低钠血症,继发于呕吐、使用利尿剂和饮用无溶质水导致的容量丢失。为治疗如此严重的低钠血症患者,开始同时使用3%高渗盐水和去氨加压素,成功缓慢且持续地纠正了钠水平,且未出现渗透性脱髓鞘综合征的并发症。
