Point‐of‐care ultrasound is a useful adjunct tool to a clinician's assessment in the evaluation of severe hyponatraemia

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 595-601, June 2024.
Abstract Introduction Hyponatraemia is the most common electrolyte disorder in inpatients resulting mainly from an imbalance in water homeostasis. Intravascular fluid status assessment is pivotal but is often challenging given multimorbidity, polypharmacy and diuretics use. We evaluated the utility of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) as an adjunct tool
