Hypernatremia often occurs in patients with brain death. This study summarizes its characteristics.
We recorded 57 patient's highest blood sodium value, as well as daily NT-proBNP, blood creatinine, and urine output. Further, we analyzed the time of the first rise in blood sodium, and the relationship between NT-proBNP, serum creatinine, urine output, and serum sodium.
There was no hyponatremia in these patients, and only seven of the 53 patients registered blood sodium between 137 and 150 mmol/L. We found that blood sodium started to rise at 36.0 (28.5-52.3) h, reaching the highest value in 79.0 (54.0-126.0) h. Urine volume and creatinine have no correlation with serum sodium level, while NT-proBNP has a significant correlation with serum sodium level.
It is necessary to conduct volume assessments and urine electrolyte testing on patients with brain death. BNP has a protective effect on water and electrolytes to prevent hypernatremia.
脑死亡患者常发生高钠血症。本研究总结了其特征。
我们记录了 57 例患者的最高血钠值,以及每日 NT-proBNP、血肌酐和尿量。此外,我们分析了血钠首次升高的时间,以及 NT-proBNP、血清肌酐、尿量与血清钠之间的关系。
这些患者中没有低钠血症,53 例患者中只有 7 例血钠值在 137 至 150mmol/L 之间。我们发现血钠在 36.0(28.5-52.3)小时开始升高,在 79.0(54.0-126.0)小时达到最高值。尿量和肌酐与血清钠水平无相关性,而 NT-proBNP 与血清钠水平有显著相关性。
对脑死亡患者进行容量评估和尿电解质检查非常必要。BNP 对水和电解质有保护作用,可预防高钠血症。
