Symptomatic hyponatremia during glomerular filtration rate testing

Manjunath Balaram et al. NDT Plus. 2010 Dec.

Abstract

Hyponatremia affects nearly one in five of all hospitalized patients. Severe hyponatremia is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and is therefore important to recognize. Prior reports have linked duloxetine with hyponatremia, but it is uncommon. In this case report, we describe a research subject taking duloxetine who developed severe symptomatic hyponatremia during glomerular filtration rate testing despite having undergone such testing uneventfully in the past.

Keywords: GFR; hyponatremia.
