Treatment of Cirrhosis-Associated Hyponatremia with Midodrine and Octreotide [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine, 2017
Hyponatremia in the setting of cirrhosis is a common electrolyte disorder with few therapeutic options. The free water retention is due to non-osmotic vasopressin secretion resulting from the cirrhosis-associated splanchnic vasodilatation. Therefore, vasoconstrictive therapy may correct this electrolyte abnormality.
