...Moses S. Elisaf; Athanasios Konstantinides; Kostas C. Siamopoulos A 62-year-old man with colon cancer who presented with hyponatremia is described. Volume depletion, renal failure, and cardiac, adrenal, hepatic, and thyroid diseases were excluded as causes of hyponatremia. The urine sodium...

...Karen E. Yeates; A. Ross Morton Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder associated with potentially serious or life-threatening consequences. Serum osmolality and sodium concentration [Na + ] are regulated by thirst, the hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP), and renal water and sodium handling...
