Hyponatremia: dangers of treatment

S A Abercrombie. J S C Med Assoc. 1991 Jul.

Abstract

Hyponatremia is a common clinical diagnosis. Rapid correction may result in neurological deterioration due to myelinolysis in the central pons and extrapontine areas of the brain. Rapid correction may result in serious neurological sequela, including death and has no significant advantage. Slow correction of chronic hyponatremia appears to be the treatment of choice.
