Overview
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone must be differentiated from Cerebral salt wasting , Adrenal insufficiency, Hypopituitarism, Hypothyroidism,Psychogenic polydipsia. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) was initially described by Leaf and Mamby. SIADH consists of hyponatremia, inappropriately elevated urine osmolality, excessive urine sodium and decreased serum osmolality in a euvolemic patient without edema. These findings should occur in the absence of diuretic treatment with normal cardiac, renal, adrenal, hepatic and thyroid function. Hyponatremia occurs in about 30% of hospitalized patients and SIADH is the most frequent cause of hyponatremia. Differentiating hyponatremia due to SIADH from other causes of hyponatremia becomes essential to evaluate the treatment plan. [1]
