Overview
In patients at risk of developing hyponatremia, preventing approches has to be done to eliminate enhancing level of hyponatremia.
Primary Prevention
- Hypotonic fluids and thiazide diuretics should be avoided, especially in patients at increased risk for hyponatremia.
- Thiazides should be avoided in persons with high fluid or low protein intake and during acute illness.
- Monitor body weight for runners and encourage to drink water when they are thirsty.
