Ninety articles referring to hypernatraemia associated with drug therapy were selected. and H.J.M.) Virtually all cases of severe diuretic-induced hyponatremia have been due to a thiazide-type diuretic [ 1-7 ].

However, it is unlikely that any associated damage (e.g. Herein, we review evidence-based information via PubMed and EMBASE and the relevant literature implicating pharmacologic treatment as an established cause of hypernatraemia and discuss its incidence and the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms.Hypernatraemia, defined as a serum sodium level >145 mmol/L, is a relatively common electrolyte disorder, especially among the elderly and critically ill patients. indapamide or metolazone) This serves several purposes: (1) Prevents hypernatremia (or assists in the correction of hypernatremia). Strategies to prevent this adverse drug effect involve careful consideration of risk factors and clinical and laboratory evaluation in the course of treatment. A loop diuretic is much less likely to induce this problem unless the diuretic has induced volume depletion [ 8] or water intake is very high (since loop diuretics …

However, this is difficult to achieve at the extremes of age if the patient cannot sense thirst and obtain water. In these settings, water is lost in excess of sodium plus potassium resulting in reduction of TBW without commensurate reduction in NaPure hypertonic saline gain is a relatively unusual cause of hypernatraemia [Acute hypernatraemic states have been described as a complication of hypertonic saline induction of abortion either by intra-amniotic injection or intravascular saline infusion [Other examples of iatrogenic hypernatraemia include the infusion of hypertonic sodium bicarbonate to treat metabolic acidosis or during resuscitation [A series of 12 children incurring non-accidental salt poisoning have been reported by Meadow [Hypertonic phosphate enemas have been shown to cause marked hypernatraemia in infants and elderly individuals [Massive salt ingestion as can occur with the ingestion of a highly concentrated saline emetic or gargle has been associated with severe and even lethal hypernatraemia [Strategies to prevent drug-induced hypernatraemia should involve careful consideration of risk factors and clinical and laboratory evaluation in the course of treatment.

Consequently, plasma sodium concentration rises due to loss of water in excess of sodium and potassium unless there is a concomitant increase in fluid intake [Patients with stroke and altered mental status are at high risk of severe hypernatraemia. The emerging role of iron in heart failure and vascular calcification in CKD
As such, it is a potassium-sparing diuretic. In a series of 241 consecutive alcoholic patients studied prospectively, hypernatraemia was documented in 2.5% of patients [Examples of hypotonic renal losses include osmotic diuresis and the administration of loop diuretics. Disagreements were resolved by a third reviewer (M.E.) In general, hypernatraemia is a relatively rare adverse effect of loop diuretic administration given that these agents are short acting, while free water losses can be easily replaced by means of increased water intake. I don't think hypernatremia is a s/e of loop diuretics. Assessing physical activity and function in patients with chronic kidney disease: a narrative review
