Overview
The patients at risk of developing hypernatremia are more likely to be hospitalized, elderly patients with neurological deficits and having higher rate of free water insensible losses such as burn victims and patients with diarrhea.
Hypernatremia risk factors
The patients at risk of developing hypernatremia are more likely to be hospitalized, elderly patients with neurological deficits and having higher rate of free water insensible losses such as burn victims and patients with diarrhea.
More common risk factors
The more common risk factors of hypernatremia are as follows:[1][2]
- Elderly patient
- Impairment of thirst
- Restricted access to water
- Mental impairment
- Physcial impairment
- Uncontrolled diabetes (solute diuresis)
Less common risk factors
The less common risk factors of hypernatremia are as follows:
- Tube feedings
- Hypertonic infusions
- Mechanical ventilation
- Osmotic diuresis
