SIADH or Syndrome of inappropriate anitidiuretic hormone secretion can cause fluid overload and hyponatremia. It can be caused by a number of different conditions such as meningitis, cancers, pneumonia, and even some drugs can cause SIADH like SSRI's or morphine.

What is the most common cause of euvolemic hyponatremia?

The most common cause of euvolemic hyponatremia is the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). In SIADH, excess antidiuretic hormone (ADH) leads to water retention, diluting sodium levels in the blood without significant changes in overall fluid volume. Other causes can include medications, adrenal insufficiency, and certain malignancies, but SIADH remains the primary etiology.


What is the purpose of water restriction in SIADH?

with SIADH, there is overproduction of ADH, Anti-Diuretic Hormone, which causes the kidneys to hold on to water. The goal is to decrease the amount of fluid in the body until the cause of the SIADH can be corrected. The excess fluid in the vascular due to the increased ADH causes the sodium in the blood to become diluted. Your patient then has hyponatremia.

What does the production of to much ADH by the pituitary gland can lead to?

Excessive production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by the pituitary gland can lead to a condition known as syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). This results in water retention, dilutional hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood), and potentially causes symptoms such as headache, confusion, and seizures. The kidneys reabsorb more water, leading to concentrated urine and decreased urine output. If left untreated, SIADH can lead to serious neurological complications.
