Vasopressin Dysregulation and Hyponatremia in Hospitalized Patients
Multz, A.S., et al. - Hyponatremia, which is often due to dysregulation of arginine vasopressin, occurs frequently in hospitalized patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Nonosmotic secretion of arginine vasopressin is central to the pathophysiology of hyponatremia in patients with euvolemic hyponatremia (due to, for example, the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone) and those with hypervolemic hyponatremia secondary to congestive heart failure or cirrhosis with ascites [more...]
