Overview
In patients at risk of developing hyponatremia, preventing approaches has to be done to eliminate aggravation of hyponatremia.
Primary Prevention
- Hypotonic fluids and thiazide diuretics should be avoided, especially in patients at increased risk for hyponatremia.
- Avoid polypharmacy in elderly, espceially thiazide diuretics and anti-depressants. [1]
- Use isotonic fluids (like 5% dextrose in a solution of 0.9% saline in patients with well controlled congestive heart failure) instead of the common clinical practice of hypotonic fluids as maintenance therapy in elderly hospitalized patients. [1]
- 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, and prevent overdrinking during exercise. [2]
- Patients with history of anti-depressant induced hyponatremia may be prescribed bupropion instead of more commonly used drugs. [1]
