TORONTO, Ontario, Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hyponatremia is a common condition in both hospitalized patients and in the community. It is associated with multiple adverse outcomes including an increased risk of falls and fractures which can be particularly devastating for elderly patients. In addition, hyponatremia in hospitalized patients has been associated with prolonged hospital stays and higher in-hospital mortality. Thus, the ability to accurately diagnose the cause of hyponatremia as well as determine the proper course of treatment is vital. Measurement of the serum and urine osmolality plays a key role in the management of patients with hyponatremia. The serum sodium level is a surrogate marker of the serum osmolality but has important limitations and cannot take the place of osmolality testing in making an initial diagnosis. Serial measurements of the urine osmolality and electrolytes is necessary to guide the treatment of hyponatremia as the character of the urine can change in response to fluid and diuretic administration.

Key Points: 
  • The featured speakers will discuss the specific roles that laboratory tests including urine and serum osmolality play in guiding clinical care.
  • Measurement of the serum and urine osmolality plays a key role in the management of patients with hyponatremia.
  • The serum sodium level is a surrogate marker of the serum osmolality but has important limitations and cannot take the place of osmolality testing in making an initial diagnosis.
