Etiology, Clinical Approach, and Therapeutic Consequences of Hyponatremia
A perturbation in the water balance rather than any change in salt content is the main cause of hyponatremia, the most frequent electrolyte abnormality, defined as a serum sodium concentration 120 mEq/L) or severe (Na < 120 mEq/L) hyponatremia, and is ...
