heal.abstractOBJECT: Electrolyte abnormalities are frequently observed in patients with hyponatremia. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of various electrolyte abnormalities encountered in hyponatremic patients admitted to an internal medicine clinic, as well as to investigate the possible pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for these abnormalities. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We prospectively studied 204 adult patients who either on admission to our clinic or during their hospitalization were found to have hyponatremia. RESULTS: Ninety-two patients (45.5%) had at least one additional electrolyte abnormality. Hypophosphatemia was the most frequent electrolyte disorder observed (35 patients, 17%). Hypokalemia was seen in 32 patients (15.8%), hypomagnesemia in 31 patients (15.2%) and hyperkalemia in 12 patients (5.9%). Moreover, 5 patients (2.5%) had hyperphosphatemia, 4 patients (1.9%) exhibited hypermagnesemia, 3 patients (1.4%) had hypercalcemia, and 6 patients (2.9%) had true hypocalcemia. There were no statistically significant differences regarding the incidence of these electrolyte abnormalities (as a whole) between the main subgroups of hyponatremic patients (diuretic-induced, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, hypovolemia-induced and edematous state-related). However, hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia were more frequently observed in patients with diuretic-induced hyponatremia, while hyperkalemia was more frequently seen in edematous state-related hyponatremia. CONCLUSIONS: Additional electrolyte abnormalities are frequently encountered in patients with hyponatremia of any origin admitted to an internal medicine clinic.en
