17 Μαΐ 2024 · This topic will focus on the treatment of hypernatremia induced by water loss, which is the most common cause. The treatment of hypernatremia in patients with impaired thirst, with or without arginine vasopressin disorders, and with primary sodium overload will also be reviewed.
25 Οκτ 2023 · Treatment of hypernatraemia is directed at addressing the underlying cause, as well as replacing free water deficit and ongoing losses while monitoring serum sodium concentration. It is important not to correct the serum sodium concentration too rapidly in cases of chronic hypernatraemia.
Treatment. In hypernatremia, the level of sodium in blood is too high. Hypernatremia involves dehydration, which can have many causes, including not drinking enough fluids, diarrhea, kidney dysfunction, and taking diuretics.
24 Αυγ 2023 · The goal of therapy is to correct both the serum sodium and the intravascular volume. Fluids should be administered orally or via a feeding tube whenever possible. In patients with severe dehydration or shock, the initial step is fluid resuscitation with isotonic fluids before free water correction.
16 Φεβ 2023 · When a doctor diagnoses and treats hypernatremia early, the outlook is generally good, and people usually recover with minimal intervention. Often, a person can treat their condition by...
General Management. Treat underlying cause once identified. This is as important as treatment of hypernatraemia. Mild cases of hypernatraemia - replace missing body water with oral water (not electrolyte drinks) or glucose 5% IV.
Hypernatremia is usually caused by limited access to water or an impaired thirst mechanism, and less commonly by arginine vasopressin deficiency or resistance (formerly diabetes insipidus). Manifestations include confusion, neuromuscular excitability, hyperreflexia, seizures, and coma.
