About

We aimed to investigate the role of bioimpedance spectroscopy for the diagnosis of hyponatremia

Full description

• Up to now, "Hyponatremia" differentially diagnosed by physical examination, plasma and urine osmolalities, Echocardiography and biochemical measurements.
• The purpose of this study is to determine whether bioimpedance spectroscopy can be used for the detection of hypovolemia and hypervolemia for the differential diagnosis of hyponatremia.

Enrollment: 58 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria
