Hyponatraemia in older patients: a clinical and practical approach

Abstract: Hyponatraemia is frequent in older people and induces marked motor and cognitive dysfunction, even in patients deemed 'asymptomatic'. Nutritional status is worse than in euvolaemic-matched controls, and the risk of fracture is increased following incidental falls. Yet hyponatraemia is undertreated, in spite of the fact that its correction is accompanied by a clear improvement in symptoms. Both evaluation of neurological symptoms and classification by volaemia are essential for a correct diagnosis and treatment… Show more

“…En el caso del SIADH, la elección del tratamiento (restricción hídrica, furosemida, tolvaptan y urea) debe realizarse en base a la duración estimada del SIADH (transitorio o crónico), el resultado de la fórmula de Furst (sodio + potasio en orina / sodio sérico), la osmolalidad urinaria (OsmU) y la capacidad del paciente para cumplir la restricción hídrica (116,136). Independientemente del tratamiento seleccionado, hay que asegurar un consumo mínimo de sodio (136 mEq/día) para compensar las pérdidas renales de sodio secundarias a la hiperfiltración por el incremento del VCE.…”

“…La inestabilidad de la marcha en los pacientes hiponatrémicos mejora significativamente tras corregir la hiponatremia(114). Runkle et al observaron que en pacientes ancianos con hiponatremia crónica leve por SIADH su capacidad funcional mejoraba significativamente al corregir su hiponatremia y mantener la eunatremia con antagonistas del receptor V2(116).Hay receptores de vasopresina presentes en el hígado y en el páncreas. El hepatocito presenta receptores V1a que estimulan la glucólisis, por consiguiente, se eleva la glucosa en plasma.…”
