About

The prospective clinical diagnosis of hyponatremia is often very difficult- but requirement for an appropriate and riskless treatment of hyponatremia. This study try to establish an algorithm handling a prospective clinical categorization of hyponatremia and approving together the start of an appropriate symptomatic therapy.

Enrollment: 138 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
