A member asked:
My mom 49, is suffering from hyponatrea on and off for the last 4 months with sodium going as low as 109. usg, ct scan, reports normal. can you suggest what could be the disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many options poss: Need to rule out cancer. You seem to have done it by ct. High chance to be medication induced. Would stop all if poss. Otherwise, if off meds with normal ct, would be reasonable to have colonoscopy and egd. Need to restrict fluid intake. There are medicines to use. Important! low salt in blood (hyponatremia) means high water to salt ratio not low salt? Hence need for fluid restriction.Pituit?Poss.
