Sodium plays an important role in nerve function, fluid balance, and muscle activity. Severe hyponatremia can cause serious neurological complications if untreated. Careful correction is essential to prevent rapid fluid shifts and brain injury.
Introduction
Treatment includes: Sodium level monitoring Fluid restriction IV sodium correction when necessary Management of underlying kidney disease Medication adjustment Electrolyte monitoring Doctors carefully evaluate: Fluid status Neurological symptoms Kidney function Blood chemistry Medication history Correction is performed gradually to avoid complications related to rapid sodium changes. Continuous monitoring is important during treatment.
