Syndrome of Inappropriate Secretion of Antidiuretic Hormone and Hyponatremia

Syndrome of Inappropriate Secretion of Antidiuretic Hormone and Hyponatremia. Jones, Deborah P. Pediatrics in Review Jan 2018, 39 (1) 27-35; DOI: 10.1542/pir.2016-0165

Knowledge Gaps

Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disturbance in hospitalized children that is often related to increased action of antidiuretic hormone; practitioners should be familiar with clinical characteristics of children at risk for syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), as well as approach to diagnosis. By knowing how to identify children with SIADH or those at risk for developing hyponatremia, modifications can be made in the prescription of intravenous fluid to avoid the development of hyponatremia or to treat hyponatremia.
