Sarcoma
Clinical Features
<120 mmol/l             <110 mmol/l
– Dysgeusia             • Drowsiness
– Lethargy              • Confusion
– Anorexia              • Depressed reflexes
– Nausea, vomiting      • Extensor plantar responses
– Irritability          • Seizures
– Headache              • Coma
– Cramps                • Death
– Muscle weakness
Criteria for SIADH
• Bartter and Schwartz (1967)
  – Hyponatraemia
  – Clinically euvolaemic
  – No diuretic use
  – Serum osmolality <275mOsm/kg
  – Urine osmolality >100 mOsm/kg
  – Urine sodium >40mmol/L
  – Normal thyroid, adrenal and renal function
Management - acute
• Benzodiapines
• Aim for 1-2mmol/L/hr initially
  – Resolution of neurology
  – Slow replacement (10 mmol/L/day)
• Frusemide (free water excretion)
• Find and treat cause
TBW = weight * 0.5 (girls)
    = weight * 0.6 (guys)

Na+ to replace = desired change in Na+ * TBW

Rate of Na+ replacement =
                 rate of desired change * TBW

Rate infusion =
   Rate of Na+ replacement / (conc of infusate)
As a rough guide
• To increase Na+ by 1mmol/L/hr
  – 1 ml/kg/hr of 3% saline
  – 1.7 ml/kg/hr of 1.8% saline


• Max. rate = 70 mmol of Na+/hr

• Monitor U&E 2 – 3 hourly
Management - Chronic
• Risk of osmotic demyelination if change is
  >12mmol/L/day
• Symptomatic
  – Aim for lower rate of correction (0.5mmol/L/hr)
• Asymptomatic
  – Fluid restrict
  – Demeclocycline
  – Oral urea
Fluid restriction
       (Urinary Na + Urinary K) / Plasma Na
• >1
  – <500ml/day
• 1
  – 500-700ml/day
• <1
  – <1L/day
Vasopressin Receptor Antagonists
• RCTs showed sustained increase in plasma Na
  compared to placebo
• Risk of hypotension with non-selective
  antagonists
• V2 selective antagonists in trials
• No reports of osmotic demyelination
Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome
• Central pontine + extrapontine
• Over-enthusiastic correction of Na+
• In chronic hyponatraemia
  – Brain tissue losses inorganic and organic solutes
  – Takes few days
• Predisposing factors
  – Alcoholism
  – Malnourishment
Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome
• Demyelination
• Pontine symptoms
  – Dysarthria, dysphagia, pseudobulbar palsy
  – Flaccid quaraparesis
• Extra-pontine
  – Tremor, ataxia, mutism
  – Parkinsonism, dystonia
• Reversible ?
  – 5% dextrose and desmopressin
