Brief Summary: Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte derangement occurring in hospitalized patients It is usually classified as hypovolemic euvolemic or hypervolemic The most common aetiology of euvolemic hyponatremia is the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis SIAD Hypervolemic hyponatremia is common in patients with congestive heart failure CHF 10-27 and liver cirrhosis up to approximately 50 In SIAD the regulation of arginine vasopressin AVP secretion is impaired which leads to free water retention In CHF and liver cirrhosis the effective arterial blood volume is decreased leading to non-osmotic baroreceptor mediated AVP release and consecutive free water retention

Current treatments of euvolemic and hypervolemic hyponatremia including the most used treatment fluid restriction are of limited efficacy Sodium-Glucose-Co-Transporter 2 SGLT2 inhibitors reduce glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule resulting in glucosuria and consecutive osmotic diuresis A placebo-controlled randomized trial of our group has shown that a short-term ie a 4-days administration of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin Jardiance in addition to fluid restriction was effective in increasing the serum sodium concentration in 87 patients with SIAD-induced hyponatremia The effect of empagliflozin Jardiance without additional fluid restriction is however not yet known Large randomized controlled trials have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors reduced hospitalization for heart failure in patients with and more recently without type 2 diabetes No studies have investigated the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors in hypervolemic hyponatremia

To evaluate the effect of empagliflozin Jardiance in eu- and hypervolemic hyponatremia a randomized placebo-controlled study is needed
