Hyperglycemia is associated with a decrease in serum sodium concentration. Previous
methods of estimating the degree of decrease have not considered the fact that glucose will …

Hyperglycemia may lower the plasma sodium concentration. Theoretical analyses have
suggested that elevations in glucose concentration produce an invariant hyponatremic …

PURPOSE: There are no controlled experimental data that assess the accuracy of the
commonly used correction factor of a 1.6 meq/L decrease in serum sodium concentration for …

FOR at least 1/4 century clinicians have recognized that hyperglycemia depresses serum
sodium concentration. 1 Since glucose is largely restricted to extracellular fluid, an increase …

This study addresses the clinically important relationship between the decreases in plasma
Na+ and the increases in plasma glucose concentrations seen in diabetes and other …

Effects of acute hyponatremia, induced by intraperitoneal injection of isosomolar glucose
solution, on electrolyte distribution in various tissues of rats have been studied and the …

The hypertension that frequently accompanies diabetes mellitus is characterized by
abnormalities of sodium (Na) metabolism at all physiologic levels: whole-body, renal, and …

Physicians managing patients under hypothermia or after major operations, particularly
cardiac procedures, will observe with increasing frequency an acute, seemingly paradoxical …

Rats were made acutely hyper-or hyponatremic by infusion of hypertonic saline or water,
respectively. Other rats were maintained in these states from 1 to 7 days to observe the …

We shall provide a simple clinical approach to the difн ferential diagnosis and therapy of
patients who have hypernatremia. Two points will receive extra emphasis:(1) a case of …
