How do you manage hyponatremia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Hi. Hyponatremia (lo Na) can be seen with normal, low, or high circulating blood volume. How it is treated depends on the clinical setting (blood loss/hypovolemia, congestive heart failure, normal blood vol.). If you can specify (e.g., CHF, SIADH, etc), we could be of greater assistance. The standard for SIADH is fluid restriction (sucks) or more recently, a vaptan drug. Good luck.
