HYPONATREMIA IN COVID-19 PATIENTS
HyponatremiaCovid191 moreSYSTEMIC INFLAMMATION HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERE COVID-19. HYPONATREMIA CAN RESULT FROM INFLAMMATION DUE TO NON-OSMOTIC STIMULI FOR VASOPRESSIN PRODUCTION. IN THIS PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY WE ANALIZED DATA FROM PATIENTS WITH COVID-19 AND THE ASOCIATION WITH HYPONATREMIA AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES.
Post Operative Hyponatremia in the Renal Transplant Population
HyponatremiaThis study is designed to determine the causes of low sodium (salt) in the body fluids outside the cells for patients who have received a kidney transplant at the Mayo Clinic of Florida. The investigators will look at data collected on previous transplant patients at the Mayo Clinic to determine if the low sodium levels could be related to factors occurring in the course of surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the intravenous fluid used in the surgery, which is about half the concentration of normal saline, could contribute to the low sodium levels.
An Observational Study on Real-world Use and Outcomes of Patients Treated With Tolvaptan for Hyponatraemia...
HyponatremiaSyndrome of Inappropriate ADH (SIADH) SecretionThis is a retrospective chart review non-interventional study designed to collect real world data on the use and outcomes of tolvaptan for the treatment of patients with hyponatraemia secondary to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion.
V2 Receptor Effects on Fluid Regulation and Performance
Electrolyte ImbalanceHyponatremia1 moreThis primary aim of this study was to critically assess whether or not sweat water content and sodium concentration were acutely regulated by dynamic changes in antidiuretic hormone (arginine vasopressin or AVP) acting on the Vasopressin 2 receptor (V2R) during exercise. Secondary aims were to evaluate running performance and core temperature to further characterize the role of AVP in the coordinated balance of fluid and temperature homeostasis during exercise. The primary hypothesis was that activation of the V2R in sweat glands would result in water reabsorption and fluid conservation during endurance exercise.
Hyponatremia and Myometrium Contractility. An Invitro Study
HyponatremiaHyponatremia during labour has been associated with prolonged labour, and increased incidence of instrumental delivery and emergency caesarean section. Sodium influx in myometral cells are involved in contractility,and and influence of hyponatraemia on contractility can be suspected.
Comparison of Ringer Lactate and Isotonic Acetate Solution as Perioperative Maintenance Fluid for...
HyponatremiaIn children fluids are supplemented during surgery to provide volume, to maintain blood glucose levels, electrolyte balance and to meet the ongoing fluid losses during surgery. Fluid replacement during surgery since decades has been based on the Holliday and Segar method.These authors proposed that water maintenance in children includes: 100 millilitre (ml)/100 kilocalorie (kcal) for the first 10 kg of body weight, 50mL/100 kcal for 11-20 kg and 20mL/100 kcal for every kilogram of body weight above 20 kg. The maintenance electrolyte requirements of 3 mEq/100 kcal for sodium and 2 mEq/100 kcal for potassium per day, were based upon the electrolyte composition of breast and cow's milk. Based on these recommendations hypotonic fluid (0.45% saline) was considered as the ideal fluid for maintenance in children undergoing surgery. Since the past many years there have been many documented cases of hyponatremia after administration of hypotonic fluids with potential for serious neurological injury in this group of patients.The use of Holliday and Segar's formula to calculate the maintenance fluid regimen in postoperative children leads to an overestimation of the volume of fluid needed, as there is a low urine output in this period. The postoperative period is at risk for non-osmotic secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which reduces the ability of kidney to excrete free water and carries risk for development of hyponatraemia.Authors in favour of hypotonic solutions feel that hyponatremia results from excessive volume of fluid and isotonic solutions have risk of hypernatremia, interstitial fluid overload, excessive sodium excretion, and hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. Based on the increased incidence of hyponatremia in children undergoing surgery, the paediatric anaesthesia societies [Society of Paediatric Anesthesia (SPA), Paediatric Anaesthesia Society of Great Britain and European society of Paediatric Anesthesia (ESPA)] put forward guidelines for the type and amount of fluid to be administered during surgery.Since then normal saline is the commonly used fluid during the perioperative period.However recent studies have shown that the use of normal saline is associated with development of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and poor outcome. Ringer lactate (RL) is a commonly used intravenous fluid during surgery and has been found to have decreased possibility of producing hyponatremia although it is a slightly hypotonic solution.Plasmalyte is an isotonic fluid which has been shown to maintain electrolyte balance and prevent hyponatremia as well as hyperchloremic acidosis in adult population.However plasmalyte has been less frequently used in paediatric population.Therefore this study is planned with the aim of comparing intravenous fluids, ringer lactate and plasmalyte in the perioperative period regarding the incidence of hyponatremia produced by these solutions, their effect on electrolytes and blood gases in children undergoing elective surgery.
An Observational Study to Describe the Adherence to the SEOM Algorithm for the Treatment of Hyponatraemia...
HyponatremiaSyndrome of Inappropriate ADH (SIADH) SecretionIn 2014, the Spanish Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica (SEOM) algorithm for the treatment of hyponatraemia secondary to to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in oncology patients was developed. Since it is hypothesised that the adherence to the SEOM algorithm is not 100%, the current retrospective non-interventional study will investigate the perceived and actual adherence of participating centres to the SEOM algorithm and its impact on patient outcomes

HyponatremiaSyndrome of Inappropriate ADH (SIADH) Secretion1 moreThis observational, prospective, non-interventional study will include cancer patients who need a treatment for hyponatraemia secondary to SIADH. Patients will be prescribed treatment(s) according with the clinical practice regardless of the patient participation in the study. The purpose of this NIS is to collect additional scientific and clinical information that can help in describing the characteristics of cancer patients with hyponatraemia secondary to SIADH, the current management of hyponatremia, the therapies to keep under control serum [Na+] and the guidelines for the management of this population in Italy.
Comparison of the Isotonic and Hypotonic Intravenous Maintenance Fluids In Term Newborns: Neofluid...
Newborn ComplicationHyponatremia of Newborn4 moreConsidering the physiological changes in fluid and electrolyte balance and providing proper support are one of the important aspects of neonatal intensive care. Maintenance intravenous fluids are designed to maintain homeostasis when a patient is unable to uptake required water, electrolytes, and energy. Hypotonic fluids are still the most commonly prescribed IV fluids for pediatric hospitalized patients. However, previous studies, including children older than one month of age revealed that traditionally used hypotonic fluids may lead to hyponatremia. Because of the absence of evidence-based data, there is currently no clear consensus on the optimal composition of maintenance intravenous fluid therapy in newborns, leading to wide practice variation. The National Clinical Guideline Center (NICE) 2015 recommends the use of isotonic fluids in term newborn infants and some newborn centers has begun to use isotonic fluids since guidelines recommendations. Since the publication of the NICE guideline, no studies have addressed this topic. In this prospective, observational , multicentric study, conventional hypotonic fluids containing sodium chloride (NaCl) < 130 mmol/L compared with isotonic fluids (containing NaCl between 131-154 mmol/L) in terms of the risk of hyponatremia, hypernatremia, plasma sodium (pNa) level change, treatment morbidities, hospitalization duration and mortality.
Water Load Test Value for Hyponatremia
SIAD - Syndrome of Inappropriate AntidiuresisHyponatremiaAcute water load test has been using to diagnose renal ability to excrete water for decades. Latest recommendations for the diagnosis of hyponatremia do not recommend performing such a test. The investigators aim at, retrospectively, study the value of acute water load test in patients suffering from a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis.
