[1] The term " hypotonic hyponatremia " is also sometimes used
Our approach to treating patients with hyponatremia depends upon the duration of the hyponatremia, the severity of the hyponatremia, the presence and
If you have moderate, chronic hyponatremia due to your diet, diuretics or
Patients with extra-renal sodium loss have a low urinary sodium concentration (less than 30 mmol per L) as the body attempts to conserve sodium
Lasix (furosemide) works by inhibiting the reabsorption of salts, such as sodium and chloride, in the proximal and distal tubules, and also the loop of Henle

For patients with marked volume overload, furosemide is an excellent therapy
The loop diuretics are highly protein bound and therefore In heart failure, the urine produced by loop diuretics is hypotonic (sodium concentration ∼60 mEq/L) and the net effect of loop diuretics in hyponatremia is expected to be a gradual increase in serum sodium concentration while decreasing both total body water and sodium content
Yes and no: Typically Lasix (furosemide) more often can cause hyponatremia but theoretically if you did not drink any fluids and you became overly dehydrated by s Read More
The treatment of hyponatremia due to SIADH (including the reset osmostat variant) will be reviewed here
Individuals with severe hypovolemia, a significant decrease in blood volume, should not use furosemide
Descriptions
However, sodium chloride tablets are seldom helpful in treatment because hyponatraemia usually reflects an imbalance in total body water, rather than sodium depletion
Loop diuretics that are currently approved in the USA include furosemide, bumetanide, torsemide and ethacrynic acid (Table 1)
Third, the potentiation of Yes, a sodium of 125 is low, but sodium is something you never replace quickly, like you would potassium
infusion of 250 mg furosemide plus 150 mL 3% hypertonic saline twice a day and light sodium restriction (120 mmol) versus i
These sodium-retaining forces eventually equal the sodium-wasting activity of the diuretic
