Abstract

Hyponatremia is a clinically relevant disorder. Ten to twenty per cent of patients in hospitals are affected by it. Hyponatremia is found to occur in almost every clinical department. Recently, vasopressin antagonists have been licensed to treat hyponatremia of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). They provide physicians with the first specific and effective therapy of this hyponatremia. This opens up new avenues for clinical research into the symptoms, findings and consequences of hyponatremia.

Streszczenie

Hiponatremia jest zaburzeniem istotnym klinicznie. Cierpi na nie 10–20% pacjentów szpitali. Hiponatremia występuje niemal na każdym oddziale klinicznym. Ostatnio zaakceptowano antagonistów wazopresyny do leczenia hiponatremii w zespole nieprawidłowego wydzielania hormonu antydiuretycznego (SIADH). Te leki dają lekarzom dostęp do skutecznej terapii tego rodzaju hiponatremii. Otwiera to nowe możliwości badań klinicznych objawów, wyników i skutków hiponatremii.

Key words

hyponatremia, vasopressin antagonist
