The risk of sodium overcorrections in severe hyponatremia and the utility of desmopressin: a large retrospective study
Overcorrections in severe hyponatremia are common, mainly when ADH is low. Initial urinary measurements anticipate this risk. Desmopressin effectively halted the rate of correction in a dose-dependent manner. Caution should be given when coadministrating water, which can significantly lower the sNa.
