What is Sodium and Water Balance Disorders about?
This document reviews disorders of sodium and water balance in hospitalized patients. It discusses how critical illness and medical interventions can interfere with normal sodium and water homeostasis. Disorders are categorized as hypo-osmolar or hyper-osmolar based on excess or deficit of total body water relative to sodium. Hyponatremia and hypernatremia are common and often iatrogenic, potentially worsening outcomes. Timely recognition and treatment of underlying factors can help reverse these disorders.
