Hyponatremia
1. Admit to:
2. Diagnosis: Hyponatremia
3. Condition:
4. Vital signs: q4h. Call physician if BP >160/90, <70/50; P >140, <50; R>25,
<10; T >38.5
C.
5. Activity: Up in chair as tolerated.
6. Nursing: Inputs and outputs, daily weights.
7. Diet: Regular diet.
8. Special Medications:
Hyponatremia with Hypervolemia and Edema (low osmolality <280, UNa
<10 mmol/L: nephrosis, heart failure, cirrhosis):
-Water restrict to 0.5-1.0 L/d.
-Furosemide 40-80 mg IV or PO qd-bid.
Hyponatremia with Normal Volume Status (low osmolality <280, UNa <10
mmol: water intoxication; UNa >20: SIADH, diuretic-induced):
-Water restrict to 0.5-1.5 L/d.
Hyponatremia with Hypovolemia (low osmolality <280) UNa <10 mmol/L:
vomiting, diarrhea, third space/respiratory/skin loss; UNa >20 mmol/L: diuretics,
renal injury, RTA, adrenal insufficiency, partial obstruction, salt wasting:
- If volume depleted, give 0.5-2 L of 0.9% saline over 1-2 hours until no longer
hypotensive, then 0.9% saline at 125 cc/h or 100-500 cc 3% hypertonic
saline over 4h.
Severe Symptomatic Hyponatremia:
If volume depleted, give 1-2 L of 0.9% saline (154 mEq/L) over 1-2 hours until
no longer orthostatic.
Determine volume of 3% hypertonic saline (513 mEq/L) to be infused:
Na (mEq) deficit = 0.6 x (wt kg)x(desired [Na] - actual [Na])
Volume of sln (L) = Sodium to be infused (mEq)
Number of hrs (mEq/L in sln) x Number of hrs
-Correct half of sodium deficit intravenously over 24 hours until serum sodium
is 120 mEq/L; increase sodium by 12-20 mEq/L over 24 hours (1 mEq/L/h).
-Alternative Method: 3% saline 100-300 cc over 4-6h, repeated as needed.
9. Extras: CXR, ECG, head/chest CT scan.
10. Labs: SMA 7&12, osmolality, triglyceride, liver panel. UA, urine specific
gravity. Urine osmolality, Na.
