SIADH er munsturgreining, ekki eitt óeðlilegt niðurstaða. Gagnlegar vísbendingar koma frá blóði og þvagi sem safnað er á svipuðum tíma, síðan túlkaðar ásamt lyfjum, skjaldkirtilsstarfsemi, kortisóli og vökvastöðu.
- Raunverulegt ólífrænt blóðnatríumlækkun þýðir að serum natríum er undir 135 mmól/L og mæld serum osmóla er venjulega undir 275 mOsm/kg.
- SIADH þvagsmóla er óviðeigandi yfir 100 mOsm/kg þrátt fyrir lága serum osmóla; nýrun eru að halda vatni þegar þau ættu að vera að framleiða þynnt þvag.
- Þvagnatríum yfir 30 mmól/L styður SIADH aðeins eftir að þvagræsilyf, nýrnahettubilun, skjaldkirtilssjúkdóm og klínískt augljósan vökvaskort hefur verið útilokað.

Hvað SIADH raunverulega þýðir
SIADH stendur fyrir heilkenni óviðeigandi blóðvatnsneyslu, áður kallað óviðeigandi losun þvagræishormóns. Einkenni geta komið fram vegna lyfja, ógleði, lungna- eða miðtaugakerfissjúkdóma, verkja, streitu eftir aðgerð og stundum krabbameins; rannsóknarmynstrið auðkennir vatnshreyfingu, ekki undirliggjandi áhrifaþátt.
Serum natríum og osmóla: staðfesting á raunverulegum of miklum vökva
Osmólalítíum í sermi undir 275 mOsm/kg með natríum undir 135 mmól/L staðfestir blóðnatríumlækkun vegna ofþynningar, en það auðkennir ekki SIADH eitt og sér. Eðlilegt eða hátt osmólalítíum vísar læknum til glúkósa, mannitol, skuggaefna, áfengis eða pseudohyponatremia í staðinn.
Flest rannsóknarstofur gefa út reiknað osmólalítíum, almennt metið sem 2 × natríum + glúkósa + þvagefni í mmól/L, en mælt osmólalítíum er æskilegt þegar greiningin er óljós. Merkingarbilið milli mældra og reiknaðra gilda getur leitt í ljós ómælda osmóta; þetta er ein ástæða þess að natríumniðurstaða getur verið klínískt raunveruleg en samt ekki endurspeglað SIADH.
Glúkósi yfir um það bil 13.9 mmól/L (250 mg/dL) lowers measured sodium by water shifting from cells into plasma. A commonly used correction adds roughly 1.6 to 2.4 mmol/L sodium for every 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) glucose above 5.6 mmol/L, although clinicians disagree on the exact factor at very high glucose.
Very high triglycerides or paraproteins can cause pseudohyponatremia with indirect ion-selective assays, while measured osmolality remains normal. Compare the sodium result with the grunn efnaskiptaspjald and ask whether the laboratory used a direct or indirect electrode before assuming a water-balance disorder.
SIADH þvagsmóla: nýrnavísbendingin sem breytir málinu
Urine osmolality above 100 mOsm/kg in a hypotonic patient means antidiuretic hormone activity is present. In SIADH, urine osmolality is often 200 to 600 mOsm/kg, although no single urine value is diagnostic.
Þvagósmólalni sem er 100 mOsm/kg or lower indicates nearly maximally dilute urine and makes SIADH unlikely. That pattern fits primary polydipsia or low-solute intake, where water intake exceeds the kidney's ability to excrete free water; it is particularly relevant in people consuming very little protein and salt.
Here is the counterintuitive point: concentrated urine does not automatically mean dehydration. Both hypovolemia and SIADH raise antidiuretic hormone, but dehydration does so appropriately to preserve circulation, whereas SIADH does so despite clinically adequate effective arterial volume.
The European hyponatremia guideline recommends urine osmolality as an early discriminator because physical assessment of volume is often unreliable (Spasovski et al., 2014). Read our deeper explanation of the Þvagósmólalni próf if your report uses mOsm/kg rather than a dipstick-specific gravity.
Why a single urine sample can mislead
Urine osmolality can fall quickly after nausea settles, pain is controlled, or an offending medicine is withheld. If urine was collected after intravenous fluid, after a loop diuretic, or hours after the blood sample, I treat it as a clue rather than proof.
Þvags natríum: SIADH gegn ofþornun og litlu virku rúmmáli
Urine sodium above 30 mmol/L supports SIADH in hypotonic hyponatremia when dietary salt intake is usual and diuretics are absent. Urine sodium below 30 mmol/L more often indicates renal sodium conservation from vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, heart failure, cirrhosis, or true dehydration.
In uncomplicated SIADH, the kidneys are not sodium-avid, so urine sodium is commonly yfir 30 mmól/L and may exceed 60 mmol/L. Urea is often low, and serum uric acid may be below 4 mg/dL (0.24 mmol/L) because mild volume expansion increases urate clearance.
A 68-year-old taking hydrochlorothiazide may have urine sodium of 55 mmol/L and concentrated urine after a stomach virus; that does not establish SIADH. Thiazide-associated hyponatremia can mimic every classic laboratory feature, which is why the medication list is not administrative detail but diagnostic data.
Urine sodium is less reliable after diuretics, with advanced kidney disease, or with very low dietary sodium. Pair it with creatinine, urea and the raflausnapanel rather than treating a 30 mmol/L cutoff as a rigid wall.
Fractional excretion of urate
A fractional excretion of urate above 12% can support SIADH, particularly when diuretics obscure urine sodium. It usually normalizes after correction of SIADH, whereas renal salt-wasting states may keep it elevated; this is specialist territory, but it can be useful when the story does not fit.
Hvernig ofþornun lítur öðruvísi út en SIADH á rannsóknarstofuprófum
Dehydration usually causes concentrated urine with low urine sodium, rising urea relative to creatinine, and clinical evidence of volume loss. SIADH often produces concentrated urine too, but patients are usually clinically euvolemic and do not have the same sodium-conserving kidney response.
With vomiting, diarrhea or heavy sweating, the kidney typically lowers urine sodium to below 20-30 mmol/L while urine osmolality rises above 100 mOsm/kg. Urea may rise disproportionately to creatinine, but this ratio is affected by protein intake, gastrointestinal bleeding, steroids and liver function, so it is supportive rather than definitive.
In SIADH, blood pressure and examination may appear normal, yet subtle findings matter: no orthostatic symptoms, no dry mucous membranes, no peripheral edema, and no compelling gastrointestinal loss. I have seen patients called "dehydrated" simply because their urine was dark; urine colour is a poor proxy for sodium physiology, as our leiðarvísir um dökkt þvag discusses.
A cautious isotonic saline challenge can help in selected monitored settings: hypovolemic hyponatremia tends to improve as volume suppresses antidiuretic hormone. In SIADH, saline may fail to raise sodium or can worsen it when urine is much more concentrated than the infusion; it should never be a home experiment.
Why saline can worsen SIADH
One litre of 0.9% saline contains 154 mmol sodium, but a kidney producing urine at 600 mOsm/kg may excrete the sodium while retaining proportionally more water. This "desalination" effect is most likely when urine sodium plus potassium is high relative to serum sodium.
Nýrnahettubilun: SIADH eftirlíking sem læknar verða að útiloka
Adrenal insufficiency can produce low sodium, low serum osmolality, urine osmolality above 100 mOsm/kg and urine sodium above 30 mmol/L—almost the same pattern as SIADH. A cortisol assessment is therefore part of a safe SIADH work-up, especially with fatigue, weight loss, low blood pressure, hyperkalemia or steroid exposure.
A morning serum cortisol above roughly 15-18 micrograms/dL (414-497 nmol/L) usually makes clinically significant adrenal insufficiency unlikely, depending on the assay and setting. Values below 3-5 micrograms/dL (83-138 nmol/L) are concerning, while intermediate results often need an ACTH stimulation test rather than guesswork.
Primary adrenal insufficiency often causes high potassium because aldosterone is deficient, but secondary adrenal insufficiency can have normal potassium and still cause severe hyponatremia. The mechanism is cortisol deficiency increasing antidiuretic hormone release, not simply salt loss.
The 2013 expert panel led by Verbalis advises excluding adrenal insufficiency before settling on SIADH (Verbalis et al., 2013). If this possibility is on your report, our overview of Addison disease laboratory clues may help you prepare targeted questions for an urgent clinician review.
Steroid medicines complicate testing
Prednisolone, hydrocortisone and some injected steroids can alter cortisol interpretation and suppress the adrenal axis. Do not stop prescribed steroids to "get a clean test"; abrupt withdrawal can precipitate adrenal crisis.
skjaldkirtilspróf: þegar skjaldvakabólga útskýrir raunverulega lágt natríum
Severe hypothyroidism can impair water excretion, but ordinary subclinical hypothyroidism rarely explains meaningful hyponatremia. TSH and free T4 are checked before diagnosing SIADH because profound thyroid failure is treatable and may coexist with other causes.
Clinically important hypothyroid hyponatremia is most plausible in severe disease, particularly myxedema physiology with low free T4, bradycardia, hypothermia or reduced cardiac output. A TSH of 6 mIU/L with normal free T4 is common and should not become a convenient explanation for sodium of 121 mmol/L.
Kantesti AI er AI blóðrannsóknartúlkunarvettvangur that compares TSH and free T4 with sodium, renal function and medication timing, because a flagged TSH result can distract from a more urgent adrenal or drug-related cause. A normal TSH does not exclude central hypothyroidism; low free T4 with a non-elevated TSH deserves a different pathway, explained in our article on low free T4 with normal TSH.
Thyroid replacement should be adjusted for established thyroid indications, not used as a rapid sodium treatment. In my experience, sodium often improves only after the true water-retention driver—nausea, medication, cortisol deficiency, or illness—has also been addressed.
Pituitary disease changes the work-up
Headache, visual-field symptoms, low libido, unexplained low blood pressure or multiple low pituitary hormones raise concern for central pituitary disease. In that setting, check cortisol before starting levothyroxine because thyroid hormone can increase cortisol clearance.
Meðganga, hærri aldur og líkamsstærðarmunur í túlkun SIADH
Pregnancy lowers the normal osmotic threshold and serum sodium by about 4-5 mmol/L, so a sodium near 130 mmol/L may be physiologic early in pregnancy but still warrants context. Older adults have a higher risk of medication-related hyponatremia and often present with falls or confusion rather than thirst.
During uncomplicated pregnancy, serum osmolality typically decreases by around 5-10 mOsm/kg and sodium may settle near 130-134 mmol/L because the osmostat resets. Sodium below 130 mmol/L, neurological symptoms, hypertension, liver abnormalities or proteinuria need urgent obstetric assessment rather than dismissal as normal pregnancy change.
In people over 75, SSRIs, thiazides, carbamazepine, desmopressin and low-solute diets commonly overlap. A sodium fall of only 5 mmol/L can matter when baseline cognition is fragile; gait instability and falls may be the first observable signs.
Kidney filtration naturally changes during pregnancy, and interpretation should use pregnancy-aware references; our guide to pregnancy eGFR values explains why a reported eGFR is often not validated in pregnancy. Fluid restriction should be individualized in pregnancy and frailty, not copied from a generic SIADH handout.
Low body mass is not a trivial detail
A 45 kg person has less total body water than a 100 kg person, so the same water load or drug dose can produce a larger sodium shift. Frail patients also have less physiologic reserve if sodium changes quickly.
Lyfjaáhrif sem líkja eftir eða kalla fram SIADH
Thiazide diuretics, SSRIs, SNRIs, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, desmopressin and some antipsychotics are frequent medication causes of hypotonic hyponatremia. Some produce true SIADH physiology, while thiazides can mimic SIADH through impaired dilution and sodium loss.
Thiazide-related hyponatremia often begins within the first 2 vikur after starting or increasing a dose, yet it can occur months later when illness, reduced food intake or extra water intake is added. Loop diuretics are less likely to cause this particular pattern because they reduce the kidney's concentrating capacity.
SSRI-associated hyponatremia is most common in older adults, people with low body weight, and those also taking diuretics. A new antidepressant is not automatically the culprit, but the temporal sequence matters more than a textbook list: document every start, stop and dose change during the preceding 30 days.
Do not stop seizure, psychiatric, hormone or blood-pressure medication without the prescriber who knows the indication. Low chloride may accompany diuretic use and vomiting; our explanation of low chloride results can help distinguish the broader electrolyte pattern.
Over-the-counter contributors
Desmopressin used for nocturia deserves special attention because drinking freely after a dose can cause abrupt water retention. NSAIDs can also amplify antidiuretic hormone action in susceptible people, particularly during intercurrent illness.

Primary polydipsia and very low dietary solute intake usually cause urine osmolality of 100 mOsm/kg or less, unlike classic SIADH. The distinction matters because strict fluid restriction alone may miss malnutrition, alcohol-related illness, or dangerous rapid correction once solute intake resumes.
The kidney needs solute—mainly urea from protein and electrolytes—to excrete water. With only 250 mOsm of solute available daily, a person can excrete about 2.5 L of urine at 100 mOsm/kg, but only 1 L if antidiuretic hormone keeps urine at 250 mOsm/kg.
In primary polydipsia, urine is often strikingly dilute and the history may reveal more than 4-6 L of fluid intake daily, though recall is imperfect. In low-solute hyponatremia, urea may be low and dietary history can reveal a recent period of poor protein and salt intake.
Ketones, low urea and weight loss can signal undernutrition or prolonged fasting rather than SIADH. Review our article on urine ketones if ketosis is present; diabetic ketoacidosis is a separate emergency and can distort sodium interpretation.
The refeeding risk
When nutrition is restored, sodium can rise faster than expected as the kidney regains solute excretion. Hospital teams monitor sodium frequently in high-risk patients, sometimes every 2-4 hours during active correction.
Nýrna-, hjarta- og lifrarsjúkdómar: lágt natríum án SIADH
Heart failure, cirrhosis and advanced kidney disease cause hyponatremia through low effective arterial volume, not primary SIADH. These conditions can still produce concentrated urine, but edema, reduced perfusion, low albumin or impaired filtration usually change the overall picture.
In heart failure and cirrhosis, the body may contain excess total water and sodium but senses inadequate arterial filling, activating antidiuretic hormone and sodium-retaining pathways. Urine sodium is often below 30 mmól/L unless diuretics or kidney injury confound the result.
Advanced kidney disease limits both water excretion and urine concentration, so urine osmolality may sit near plasma osmolality around 250-350 mOsm/kg. In that situation, classic SIADH thresholds lose precision and nephrology input is more useful than repeated spot urine testing.
Proteinuria, casts, albumin, creatinine trend and edema are not side issues; they help identify the physiology. Our practical guide to þvagþéttni explains why a dipstick estimate cannot replace measured urine osmolality in a complex kidney case.
Edema does not rule out danger
A person with edema can still develop severe neurological symptoms at sodium below 120 mmol/L. Fluid status explains the cause but does not lower the urgency of acute symptomatic hyponatremia.
Sýnataka, IV vökvar og rannsóknarstofugildrur
Blood and urine should ideally be collected before IV fluids and within a few hours of each other, because treatment can rapidly alter SIADH lab results. A delayed urine sample may describe the response to therapy rather than the cause of hyponatremia.
A litre of saline, a dose of furosemide, anti-nausea treatment, pain relief, or stopping desmopressin can change urine output and osmolality within hours. Record the exact collection times, recent fluid intake, IV therapy and medicines; this mundane detail often resolves apparently contradictory SIADH lab results.
Hemolysis does not usually create a falsely low sodium, but major hyperlipidemia, hyperproteinemia and specimen contamination can. A sodium result that differs sharply from yesterday's value without a clinical explanation should prompt a redraw or direct ion-selective electrode measurement, not a diagnosis by spreadsheet.
Kantesti AI compares dates and flags implausible changes, but it cannot see an unrecorded saline infusion or a missed dose. Use a tímalínu blóðprófs to note illness, exercise, fasting, fluid intake and medication events beside each result.
Urine specific gravity is not osmolality
Specific gravity reflects particle mass as well as concentration and can be distorted by glucose, protein or contrast media. A value of 1.020 does not translate reliably into a particular mOsm/kg value in every patient.
Læknar sem venjulega panta, einbeitt SIADH rannsókn
A safe SIADH evaluation usually includes serum sodium, potassium, glucose, urea, creatinine, measured serum osmolality, urine osmolality, urine sodium, TSH, free T4 and morning cortisol. The objective is to confirm hypotonic hyponatremia and exclude reversible mimics before assigning the SIADH label.
Additional tests depend on context: uric acid, liver markers, lipid profile, total protein, ACTH, chest imaging, brain imaging or medication review may be appropriate. In an apparently euvolemic patient with sodium of 126 mmol/L, the simultaneous osmolality pair and cortisol are usually more informative than broad, unfocused testing.
Hoorn and Zietse's guideline comparison emphasizes that volume examination alone has limited diagnostic accuracy and supports a urine-first biochemical approach (Hoorn and Zietse, 2017). This is why a normal-looking examination should not overrule urine osmolality of 550 mOsm/kg and serum osmolality of 260 mOsm/kg.
Dr. Thomas Klein recommends taking a photograph of every result page, including collection time, reference interval and medication list, before a visit. Our AI medical report safety checklist explains how to preserve the source details an interpretation needs.
When imaging becomes relevant
New, persistent SIADH without a clear medicine or acute illness may prompt chest imaging, particularly in older people with smoking exposure or respiratory symptoms. Imaging is targeted by history and examination; it is not automatically required for every sodium of 132 mmol/L.
Hvað meðferðartölur þýða og hvers vegna natríum leiðrétting getur verið hættuleg
Severe symptomatic hyponatremia is treated in hospital with carefully monitored hypertonic saline, while chronic SIADH management targets the cause and controlled water balance. The danger is two-sided: untreated brain swelling and overly rapid correction can both cause permanent neurological injury.
For seizure, coma, profound confusion or severe vomiting due to hyponatremia, guidelines commonly use 100-150 mL of 3% saline as an intermittent bolus with repeat sodium checks. The initial objective is a small rise of about 4-6 mmol/L to reduce cerebral edema, not immediate normalization.
For chronic hyponatremia, many clinicians limit correction to 8 mmól/L á 24 klst. for people at high risk of osmotic demyelination, including alcoholism, malnutrition, severe liver disease, hypokalemia or very low starting sodium. Some guidelines allow 10 mmol/L in the first day for lower-risk patients, but I favor caution because a number can climb unexpectedly once antidiuretic hormone falls.
Fluid restriction often starts around 800-1,000 mL daily in stable SIADH, but its success depends on urine concentration and solute intake. Urea, loop diuretics with salt, or vasopressin antagonists are specialist decisions; Kantesti is an AI-knúið blóðprófunargreiningartól designed to flag the relevant pattern, not to prescribe or replace urgent care. Review our tæknilegu klínísku eftirliti when considering how automated interpretation is medically reviewed.
Potassium correction also raises sodium
Potassium is an effective osmole, so treating hypokalemia can increase serum sodium even without saline. This is easily missed when calculating the total 24-hour correction rate.
Hvenær lágt natríum eða mögulegt SIADH þarfnast bráðrar læknishjálpar
Seek emergency care now for seizure, fainting, new severe confusion, marked drowsiness, repeated vomiting, severe headache or breathing difficulty with known or suspected low sodium. Sodium below 120 mmol/L deserves same-day clinical assessment even if symptoms seem mild, especially when the fall may be recent.
Call the clinician who ordered the test promptly for sodium 125-129 mmól/L, new medication exposure, cancer treatment, pregnancy, adrenal symptoms, or a meaningful downward trend. Do not deliberately drink extra water, take salt tablets, or restrict all fluids before receiving individual advice; each action can worsen a different cause.
As of August 27, 2026, the most useful patient contribution is a precise history: daily fluids, alcohol intake, recent vomiting or diarrhea, all prescriptions and supplements, IV fluids, pain, nausea, lung symptoms and previous sodium values. That history often distinguishes transient antidiuretic hormone release from persistent SIADH more effectively than an additional isolated chemistry panel.
Kantesti's medical team uses pattern-based result review with physician oversight; readers can see the clinicians behind that process on our Læknisfræðileg ráðgjafarnefnd. If results are confusing, bring the original laboratory report and this paired-test framework to a licensed clinician rather than self-treating a sodium number.
Spurningar sem þú átt að taka með á viðtalið
Ask whether the hyponatremia is confirmed as hypotonic, whether urine was collected before treatment, whether cortisol and free T4 were checked, and whether a medicine or low-solute intake could explain the pattern. Those four questions keep the discussion focused on causes that change treatment.

Hvaða niðurstöður blóðrannsókna benda til SIADH?
SIADH er bentótt af natríum í sermi undir 135 mmol/L, mælt osmólalitet í sermi undir 275 mOsm/kg, osmólalitet í þvagi yfir 100 mOsm/kg og natríum í þvagi oft yfir 30 mmol/L. Sjúklingurinn er venjulega klínískt í rúmmáli, án sannfærandi ofþornunar, bjúgmyndunar, nýrnabilunar, nýrnaheilkennisskorts eða alvarlegs skjaldvakabrests. Lár þvagefni og þvagsýra í sermi undir um það bil 4 mg/dL getur bætt við stuðningi, en ekkert þeirra er greinandi eitt sér. Læknar verða að túlka þessar prófanir úr blóði og þvagi sem tekin eru næstum á sama tíma.
Hvaða þvagsértæknisgildi er dæmigert við SIADH?
Osmólaþæði þvags við SIADH er óviðeigandi hærri en 100 mOsm/kg þrátt fyrir lágt osmólaþæði í sermi, og margir sjúklingar eru með gildi á bilinu 200 til 600 mOsm/kg. Osmólaþæði þvags sem er 100 mOsm/kg eða lægra er á móti SIADH þar sem það sýnir að nýrun geta þynnt þvag á viðeigandi hátt. Deýðing getur einnig valdið osmólaþæði þvags sem er hærra en 100 mOsm/kg, svo þörf er á mati á natríum í þvagi og klínískt vökvarúmmáli. Sýni sem tekið er eftir meðferð með saltvatni, þvagræfilyfjum eða við meðhöndlun á ógleði getur verið villandi.
Getur ofþornun valdið lágum natríumgildi og líkt og SIADH?
Já, ofþornun vegna uppkasta, niðurgangs, svitamyndunar eða lítillar inntöku getur valdið ofnæmissjúkdómi með þvagi sem er þéttara en 100 mOsm/kg. Við einfaldri ofþornun er natríum í þvagi venjulega undir 20-30 mmól/L vegna þess að nýrun varðveita natríum, og þvagefni getur hækkað hlutfallslega miðað við kreatínín. SIADH hefur oftar natríum í þvagi yfir 30 mmól/L án skýrra merkja um vökvaskort. Lyf (þvagræsi) geta þokað þennan mun, svo lyfjasaga er nauðsynleg.
Af hverju er kortisól athugað þegar læknar gruna SIADH?
Kortisóli er athugað vegna þess að nýrnahettubilun getur valdið sömu lágu natríum-, lágu osmólalitets- og þéttvísisþvagmynd og SIADH. Morgun kortisóll yfir um það bil 15-18 míkrógrom/dL, eftir mælitækni og klínísku umhverfi, gerir marktæka nýrnahettubilun venjulega ólíklega; niðurstaða undir 3-5 míkrógrom/dL er áhyggjuefni. Miðlungs gildi þarfnast oft ACTH örvunarprófs. Að missa af nýrnahettubilun er hættulegt vegna þess að það krefst sterauppbótar, ekki bara vökvatakmarkana.
Getur SSRI eða vatnslyf valdið SIADH rannsóknarniðurstöðum?
SSRI-lyfjar, SNRI-lyfjar, karbamazepin, oxkarbazepin og desmopressín geta valdið vörnum vökva sem líkjast SIADH, á meðan þvagræðilyf (þíazíð) geta líkt rannsóknarniðurstöðum SIADH mjög eftir. Natríumskortur tengdur þíazíðlyfjum kemur oft fram innan 14 daga frá upphafi eða aukningu meðferðar, en millikommandi sjúkdómur getur kallað fram það síðar. Natríum í þvagi getur verið yfir 30 mmól/L í báðum tilfellum, þannig að tímasetning lyfjagjafar er læknisfræðilega afgerandi. Sjúklingar ættu ekki að hætta ávísaðri geð-, flogaveiki- eða blóðþrýstingslyfjum án samráðs við lækni.
Hversu hratt er hægt að leiðrétta lágt natríummagn á öruggan hátt?
Í langvinnu lágum natríumgildi í blóði stefna margir læknar að halda natríum leiðréttingu á eða undir 8 mmol/L á 24 klukkustundum fyrir sjúklinga með mikla hættu á osmótískum dýflinnismi, svo sem þá sem eru með vannæringu, alkóhólisma, alvarlegan lifrarsjúkdóm, blóðkalíumlækkun eða mjög lágt natríum. Neyðareinkenni geta krafist 100-150 mL skammta af 3% saltvatni á sjúkrahúsi til að ná fyrstu hækkun um 4-6 mmol/L. Nákvæmt markmið veltur á tímalengd, einkennum og áhættuþáttum. Natríummeðferð krefst endurtekinna blóðrannsókna því óviljug vatnslosun getur gert leiðréttinguna óvænt hraðari.
