Overview

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disturbances which is common with taking certain drugs and conditions. Screening the hyponatremia is necessary for preventing further decrease in serum sodium and complications of treatment.

Screening

Plasma sodium should be check in

  • 1–2 weeks after initiation of thiazide, SNRI, and SSRI therapy, especially in patients at high risk for hyponatremia
  • All hospitalized patients on admission
  • check plasma level daily in all patients with hyponatremia
  • Check plasma level in all patients with risk of hyponatremia
