Risk calculators and risk factors for Hyponatremia CT

Overview

  • CT scan findings due to associated Cerebral edema may be seen in patients with acute hyponatremia.
  • CT scan for brain chest abdomen and pelvis is necessary for patients to evaluate the causes like SIAD( tumor detection ), and differentiate from other causes with the same presentation.

CT scan

  • Area of uniform low attenuation change due to influx of additional water into the extracellular spaces.
  • Loss of grey-white differentiation.
