Abstract
Hyponatraemia (serum sodium <135 mmol/L) is a common finding in clinical practice. Patients with hyponatraemia have increased morbidity and mortality compared with patients without hyponatraemia. Hyponatraemia is often iatrogenic and avoidable. These can be classified into 5 main types: hypovolaemic hyponatraemia, euvolaemic hyponatraemia, hypervolaemic hyponatraemia, hypertonic hyponatraemia and pseudohyponatraemia. Patients can be asymptomatic to severe cerebral oedema, leading to brainstem herniation, respiratory arrest and death.
