A young quadriplegic patient developed convulsions and brain damage due to severe hyponatraemia. Potential causes of severe hyponatraemia in quadriplegics include excessive water intake (because of the low threshold for vasopressin release) and asymptomatic renal tract infection causing sodium loss. Mild hyponatraemia, occurring in up to 10% of quadriplegics, is due to a reset osmostat.
一名年轻的四肢瘫痪患者因严重低钠血症出现惊厥和脑损伤。四肢瘫痪患者严重低钠血症的潜在原因包括饮水过多（由于抗利尿激素释放阈值低）和无症状性泌尿道感染导致钠流失。轻度低钠血症在高达10%的四肢瘫痪患者中出现，是由于渗透压调定点重置。
