What is clinically-induced hyponatremia?

Please clarify: Hi. We do not induce hyponatremia, we treat it. I don't know what you mean by "clinically-induced" hyponatremia. The causes of hyponatremia, and the approach to treating it, depend on whether the circulating blood volume is low, normal, or high. Please clarify your situation with a little information (volume status, heart status, cancer, etc). Good luck!

Hyponatremia: There are many causes of hyponatremia and the diagnosis should have been made at your last doctor visit. Depending on what your doctor has found taking a history, doing a physical exam, and ordering labs, he/she will refer you to the most appropriate specialist.
