Diagnostic assistance provided by a pharmacist for the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion caused by carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy in an elderly patient with lung cancer: a case report

We encountered a case in which the patient developed chemotherapy-induced SIADH but was able to continue chemotherapy because of early pharmacist intervention. In elderly patients without genetic mutations and few treatment options, even if they develop SIADH, chemotherapy should be continued with monitoring of serum sodium levels by physicians and pharmacists.
