- Fluid restriction is the first thing done in asymptomatic patients
- Treatment: fluid restriction, salt tablets, IV hypertonic saline, diuretics, conivaptan, tolvaptan, demeclocycline
- Treatment: fluid restriction, salt tablets, IV hypertonic saline, diuretics, conivaptan, tolvaptan, demeclocycline
- Isotonic saline is preferred in mild symptoms because it is still relatively hypertonic to the dilutional hyponatremia of SIADH (therefore will still help normalize the hyponatremia in a patient that is already fluid overloaded)
- When a patient has severe symptoms (cerebral edema, seizures), hypertonic saline is given to ensure that the water that has entered the brain is pulled out (gives a strong osmotic impetus)
