Brief Summary:
This study is looking at two new parameters, aSID and ChU, to see if these can help physicians to distinguish between different causes of low sodium levels (hyponatremia) in Patients taking a medicament against high blood pressure (thiazide). Researchers also want to see if using these new parameters to decide on treatment works just as well, or better, than the current standard treatments.
Detailed Description:
Thiazide or thiazide-like diuretics associated hyponatremia (thiazide associated hyponatremia, TAH) has a high prevalence in hospitalized patients. Patients might present either with a hypovolemic hyponatremia due to volume loss as a diuretic effect of thiazide, or with a syndrome of inadequate antidiuresis (SIAD) like hyponatremia in need of fluid restriction. Canonical urine indices are not useful in differential diagnosis, being directly influenced by thiazide itself. Current guidelines suggest the use of a clinical volume status assessment, but this approach has a poor diagnostic performance, with less than 50% of patients being rightly diagnosed thru that. The investigators showed in a retrospective analysis the possible role of strong apparent ion difference (aSID) and of chloride and potassium levels in urine (ChU) in differential diagnosis of TAH. The goal of this study is to investigate prospectively whether implementation of aSID and, in case of inconclusive aSID, ChU, allows a correct differential diagnosis and treatment of TAH.
