Overview
In hyponatremia, depending on the cause, there can be different laboratory abnormalities.
To see the causes of hyponatremia, click here.
To see the differential diagnosis of hyponatremia, click here.
Laboratory Findings
Biochemical evaluation for finding the etiologies of hyponatremia :
- CT scan for brain chest abdomen and pelvis is necessary for patients to evaluate the causes like SIAD( tumor detection ), and differentiate from other causes with the same presentation.

Laboratory findings in different causes of hyponatremia [1]:
| Conditions | Sodium status | Plasma osmolality | Urine osmolality | Differentiation of causes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hypervolemic hyponatremia | TBW ↑↑
Serum Na ↑ |
< 275 mOsm/kg | > 100 mOsm/kg | UNa > 20 mEq/L:
UNa < 20 mEq/L:
|
| Euvolemic hyponatremia | TBW ↑
Serum Na ↔ |
< 275 mOsm/kg | > 100 mOsm/kg | Variable UNa :
UNa > 40 mEq/L:
