The incidence of hyponatremia in 34 patients following administration of high-dose L-phenylalanine mustard (L-PAM) and dianhydrogalactitol (DAG) was determined. Two consecutive daily levels of 133 mEq/l or less were observed in 12 patients. These episodes coincided with the advent of diarrhea about
Hyponatremia can be a marker of an underlying disease. We report a 52 years-old male with Diabetes Mellitus who consulted for an episode of nausea and vomiting lasting four days. His baseline serum sodium was 118 mEq/L. He had no neurological deficit. Hyponatremia was initially interpreted in
BACKGROUND
Hyponatremia is one of the commonest electrolyte disturbances encountered in medical wards and contributes to substantial morbidity and mortality. However, early recognition and management drastically alters prognosis. Therefore, this observational study was taken up to explore the
