It is important not to correct the serum sodium concentration too rapidly in cases of chronic hypernatraemia.
Basic principles. HR should be corrected slowly (particularly if HR is of unknown duration or chronic) as rapid correction can induce cerebral edema, seizures, permanent neurological damage and death (rate of correction of Na should be <0.5 mmol/l/hour or <12 mmol/l/day).
