Overview

There are no established risk factors for [disease name].

OR

The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

OR

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

OR

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.

Risk Factors

• Marathon runner
• Institutionalize schizophrenic patients
• Excess intake of water with no protein intake (↓ urea excretion causes ↓water excretion) like potomania
• Severe kidney disease
• Diuretics especially thiazides (low body weight and hypokalemia increase the risk for thiazide associated hyponatremia)
• Drugs with different mechanisms
• SIAD: SIADH and gain of function mutation of v2 receptors
