Prevalence, predictors and patterns of postoperative polyuria and hyponatraemia in the immediate course after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas

Abstract: The analysis illustrates that disturbances in osmoregulation resulting in polyuria and pertubations of serum sodium concentration are of very high prevalence and need observation even after selective transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas, especially in patients with Cushing's disease.

“…Therefore, it should be kept in mind that the cortisol level measured on the 2nd or 3rd postoperative day might not reflect, and may be higher than that at 1 week. Patients with cortisol levels lower than 220-270 nmol/l (8-10 mg/dl) on the 2nd or 3rd postoperative day are discharged and recommended for low-dose glucocorticoid replacement therapy (26)(27)(28)(29). The results of this study are consistent with these practices.…”

“…Post-operative hyponatremia occurred in 30.7% of patients from postoperative day 4 to 7. Previously reported risk factors influencing post-operative hyponatremia [1,3,4,[6][7][8][9] showed insignificant effects in this study. Emergence of hyponatremic symptoms depended on the severity of post-operative hyponatremia, and the degree of post-TSS serum Na reduction.…”

“…Predicting hyponatremia, especially symptomatic hyponatremia, is useful for providing pertinent care to these patients who may opt for a short post-operative length of hospital stay. In previous studies where the elderly age-bracket (mean: ≥ 50 years), female gender, pre-existing microadenoma, and/or presence of transient diabetes insipidus (DI) were adopted as the predicting factors for hyponatremia [1,3,4,[6][7][8][9], the results were however controversial. These previous papers defined the post-operative hyponatremia simply as post-operative low serum Na, not concerned with the serum Na decline after TSS.…”

“…16 The timing of the DPH after TSS has been generally consistent, occurring on PODs 4-7 and resolving within 2-3 weeks. 15,18,20,27,30,32,33 Factors associated with the development of DPH vary in previous reports and include age, 16,18,30 female sex 33 or estrogen use, 22 tumor size, 15,26,30 early diabetes insipidus after surgery, 33 Cushing disease, 14,24 and surgical trauma to the neurohypophysis. 22 Some of these factors were also identified in our univariate analyses, including female sex (p = 0.027).…”
