Background
- Constellation of electrolyte abnormalities that occur secondary to overconsumption of electrolyte-poor liquid with little other sources of nutrition (e.g. drinking a lot of beer and not eating much)
- Poor overall electrolyte intake limits formation of normal renal urea gradient-->inability to excrete sufficient free water
- Total body sodium may be depleted, yet still may have elevated urinary sodium/FENa due to dysfunction of water metabolism
- Attention to proper nutrition during acute illness may obviate need for hypertonic saline
Clinical Features
- History of chronic alcohol ingestion (in a hypotonic form like beer)
- Protein malnutrition
- Seizures
- Altered Mental Status
- Weakness
Differential Diagnosis
- Ethanol toxicity
- Alcohol use disorder
- Alcohol withdrawal
- Electrolyte/acid-base disorder
Evaluation
Work-Up
- Chem 10
- Osmolality
- ADH
Evaluation
- Signs, symptoms and laboratory values consistent with water intoxication
- Hyponatremia
- Hypochloremia
- Hypokalemia
- No evidence of another cause of hyponatremia (such as steroid] use, diuretic use, hyperlipidaemia, etc.)
Management
- If seizing or other severe symptoms, bolus hypertonic saline
- Otherwise, gentle replacement of electrolytes with close attention paid to diet is important
