Overview
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disturbances which are common with certain medical conditions and drugs. Screening the hyponatremia is necessary for preventing further decrease in serum sodium and complications of treatment.
Screening
Plasma sodium should be check in
- 1–2 weeks after initiation of thiazide, SNRI, and SSRI therapy, especially in patients at high risk for hyponatremia [1] [2]
- All hospitalized patients on admission
- Check plasma level daily in all patients with hyponatremia
- Check plasma level in all patients with risk of hyponatremia
