Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium increases during acute kidney injury (AKI) recovery. Both hypernatremia and positive fluid balances are associated with increased mortality. We aimed to evaluate the association between daily fluid balance and daily plasma sodium during the recovery from AKI among critical patients. METHODS Adult patients with AKI were enrolled in four ICUs and followed up for four days or until ICU discharge or hemodialysis initiation. Day zero was the peak day of creatinine. The primary outcome was daily plasma sodium; the main exposure was daily fluid balance. RESULTS 93 patients were included. The median age was 66 years; 68% were male. Plasma sodium increased in 79 patients (85%), and 52% presented hypernatremia. We found no effect of daily fluid balance on plasma sodium (β -0.26, IC95%: -0.63-0.13; p = 0.19). A higher total sodium variation was observed in patients with lower initial plasma sodium (β -0.40, IC95%: -0.53 to -0.27; p < 0.01), higher initial urea (β 0.07, IC95%: 0.04-0.01; p < 0.01), and higher net sodium balance (β 0.002, IC95%: 0.0001-0.01; p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The increase in plasma sodium is common during AKI recovery and can only partially be attributed to the water and electrolyte balances. The incidence of hypernatremia in this population of patients is higher than in the general critically ill patient population.

Abstract
Objective Evaluate the impact of a sodium (Na) supplementation protocol based upon urine Na concentration on growth parameters and morbidities. Study Design Retrospective cohort study of infants 260/7-336/7 weeks gestational age (GA) cared for before (2012-15, n = 225) and after (2016-20, n = 157) implementation of the protocol. Within- and between-group changes over time were assessed using repeated measures generalized linear models. Results For infants 260/7-296/7 weeks GA, utilization of the protocol was associated with increased mean body weight z-score at 8-weeks postnatal age, increased mean head circumference z-score at 16-weeks postnatal age, and decreased time on mechanical ventilation (all p < 0.02). No impact on growth was identified for infants 30-336/7 weeks GA. Incidences of hypertension, hypernatremia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and culture positive sepsis were unaffected by the protocol. Conclusion Protocolized Na supplementation results in improved growth and reduced time on invasive mechanical ventilation in extremely preterm infants without increasing incidence of morbidities.

Abstract
Hypernatremia is an occasionally encountered electrolyte disorder, which may lead to fatal consequences under improper management. Hypernatremia is a disorder of the homeostatic status regarding body water and sodium contents. This imbalance is the basis for the diagnostic approach to hypernatremia. We summarize the eight diagnostic steps of the traditional approach and introduce new biomarkers: exclude pseudohypernatremia, confirm glucose-corrected sodium concentrations, determine the extracellular volume status, measure urine sodium levels, measure urine volume and osmolality, check ongoing urinary electrolyte free water clearance, determine arginine vasopressin/copeptin levels, and assess other electrolyte disorders. Moreover, we suggest six steps to manage hypernatremia by replacing water deficits, ongoing water losses, and insensible water losses: identify underlying causes, distinguish between acute and chronic hypernatremia, determine the amount and rate of water administration, select the type of replacement solution, adjust the treatment schedule, and consider additional therapy for diabetes insipidus. Physicians may apply some of these steps to all patients with hypernatremia, and can also adapt the regimens for specific causes or situations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend treatment of dysnatremias to be guided by formulas based on the Edelman equation. This equation describes the relation between plasma sodium concentration and exchangeable cations. However, this formula does not take into account clinical parameters that have recently been associated with local tissue sodium accumulation, which occurs without concurrent water retention. We investigated to what extent such clinical factors affect the Edelman equation and dysnatremia treatment. METHODS We performed a post-hoc analysis with original data of the Edelman study. Linear regression was used to examine the effect of age, sex, weight, edema, total body water (TBW) and heart and kidney failure on the Edelman equation. With attenuated correction, we corrected for measurement errors of both variables. Using piecewise regression, we analyzed whether the Edelman association differs for different plasma sodium concentrations. RESULTS Data was available for 82 patients; 57 males and 25 females with a mean (SD) age of 57 (15) years. The slope of the Edelman equation was significantly affected by weight (p=0.01) and edema (p=0.03). Also, below and above plasma sodium levels of 133 mmol/L the slope of the Edelman equation was significantly different (1.25 x0025vs 0.58x0025, p<0.01). CONCLUSION Edelman's equation's coefficients are significantly affected by weight, edema and plasma sodium, possibly reflecting differences in tissue sodium accumulation capacity. The performance of Edelman-based formulas in clinical settings may be improved by taking these clinical characteristics into account.

Abstract
The key message from the 1958 Edelman study states that combinations of external gains or losses of sodium, potassium and water leading to an increase of the fraction (total body sodium plus total body potassium) over total body water will raise the serum sodium concentration ([Na]S), while external gains or losses leading to a decrease in this fraction will lower [Na]S. A variety of studies have supported this concept and current quantitative methods for correcting dysnatremias, including formulas calculating the volume of saline needed for a change in [Na]S are based on it. Not accounting for external losses of sodium, potassium and water during treatment and faulty values for body water inserted in the formulas predicting the change in [Na]S affect the accuracy of these formulas. Newly described factors potentially affecting the change in [Na]S during treatment of dysnatremias include the following: (a) exchanges during development or correction of dysnatremias between osmotically inactive sodium stored in tissues and osmotically active sodium in solution in body fluids; (b) chemical binding of part of body water to macromolecules which would decrease the amount of body water available for osmotic exchanges; and (c) genetic influences on the determination of sodium concentration in body fluids. The effects of these newer developments on the methods of treatment of dysnatremias are not well-established and will need extensive studying. Currently, monitoring of serum sodium concentration remains a critical step during treatment of dysnatremias.

Abstract
PURPOSE To further elucidate the origin of early ICU-acquired hypernatraemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospective single-centre study, polytrauma patients requiring ICU treatment were analysed. RESULTS Forty-eight (47.5%) of 101 included polytrauma patients developed hypernatraemia within the first 7 days on ICU. They were more severely ill as described by higher SAPS III, ISS, daily SOFA scores and initial norepinephrine requirements as well as longer requirements of mechanical ventilation and ICU treatment in general. The development of hypernatraemia was neither attributable to fluid- or sodium-balances nor renal impairment. Although lower in the hypernatraemic group from day 4 onwards, median creatinine clearances were sufficiently high throughout the observation period. However, in the hypernatraemic group, urine sodium and chloride concentrations prior to the evolvement of hypernatraemia (56 (27-87) mmol/l and 39 (23-77) mmol/l) were significantly decreased when compared to i) the time after developing hypernatraemia (94 (58-134) mmol/l and 78 (36-115) mmol/l; p < 0.001) and ii) the non-hypernatraemic group in general (101 (66-143) mmol/l and 75 (47-109) mmol/l; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Early ICU-acquired hypernatraemia is associated with injury severity and preceded by reduced renal sodium and chloride excretion in polytrauma patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide more in-depth insight in the development of early ICU-acquired hypernatremia in critically ill patients based on detailed, longitudinal and quantitative data. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comparative analysis was performed using prospectively collected data of ICU patients. All patients requiring ICU admission for more than 48 h between April and December 2018 were included. For this study, urine samples were collected daily and analyzed for electrolytes and osmolality. Additionally, plasma osmolality analyses were performed. Further data collection consisted of routine laboratory results, detailed fluid balances and medication use. RESULTS A total of 183 patient were included for analysis, of whom 38% developed ICU-acquired hypernatremia. Whereas the hypernatremic group was similar to the non-hypernatremic group at baseline and during the first days, hypernatremic patients had a significantly higher sodium intake on day 2 to 5, a lower urine sodium concentration on day 3 and 4 and a worse kidney function (plasma creatinine 251 versus 71.9 μmol/L on day 5). Additionally, hypernatremic patients had higher APACHE IV scores (67 versus 49, p < 0.05) and higher ICU (23 versus 12%, p = 0.07) and 90-day mortality (33 versus 14%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Longitudinal analysis shows that the development of early ICU-acquired hypernatremia is preceded by increased sodium intake, decreased renal function and decreased sodium excretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subclinical volume overload in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient represents a debatable issue. Although many tools were used to detect volume overload in such patients, many non-specific results were due to presence of comorbidities. Bioimpedance spectroscopy is an objective fluid status assessment method, which is shown superior to classical methods in many studies. Combining some of these tools may improve their accuracy and specificity. Inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) with brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) can be combined for more specific volume assessment. This study was performed to assess the usage of combined IVCCI and BNP levels in CKD patients to predict subclinical volume overload. METHODS One hundred and ten patients with CKD (stages 4 and 5) not on dialysis and having normal left ventricular systolic function were included in this study. Exclusion criteria were: (1) patients with other causes of raised BNP than volume overload and (2) patients on diuretics. A complete medical history was obtained, and thorough examination and laboratory tests were performed for all included patients. IVCCI and BNP serum levels were evaluated. The patients who exhibited an overhydration (OH)/extracellular water (ECW) ratio of >15% were considered to have volume overload. RESULTS Twenty-six patients (23.6%) had subclinical hypervolemia as diagnosed by OH/ECW ratio of >15%. IVCCI ≤ 38% had higher diagnostic performance than BNP ≥ 24 pg/mL. Combining both IVCCI ≤ 38% and BNP ≥ 24 pg/mL increased the specificity and positive predictive value for detection of subclinical hypervolemia. CONCLUSION Combined elevated BNP level and decreased IVCCI are more precise tools for subclinical volume overload detection in CKD patients.

Abstract
Hypernatraemia is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is more common in patients of older age, nursing home residents and those with cognitive impairment and restricted mobility. The most common cause in hospital settings is water dehydration due to reduced intake although other causes should be identified. Once identified, prompt management is necessary to avoid delayed correction as prolonged hypernatremia is associated with increased hospital stay and mortality. Comprehensive history-taking and physical examination, basic investigations and medication review are essential to identify causative and remediable factors in those admitted with hypernatraemia. Accurate calculation of fluid deficit and ongoing losses is essential in order to ensure adequate fluid replacement, The administration of appropriate, usually hypotonic, fluids is also essential to the timely restoration of eunatraemia. Although evidence of definite harm resulting from rapid correction is lacking, a serum sodium reduction rate of <12 mmol/l day is advised with the caveat that close monitoring of electrolytes is required to ensure the desired correction rate is being achieved. Medical and nursing professionals should have access to a local hospital protocol to guide management of patients with hypernatraemia to improve patient outcomes and mitigate the risk of harm, particularly from under-recognition and slow correction.

Abstract
Background and Objectives The development of ICU-acquired hypernatremia (IAH) is almost exclusively attributed to ‘too much salt and too little water’. However, intrinsic mechanisms also have been suggested to play a role. To identify the determinants of IAH, we designed a prospective controlled study. Methods Patients with an anticipated length of stay ICU > 48 hours were included. Patients with hypernatremia on admission and/or on renal replacement therapy were excluded. Patients without IAH were compared with patients with borderline hypernatremia (≥ 143 mmol/L, IAH 143) and more severe hypernatremia (≥ 145 mmol/L, IAH 145). Results We included 89 patients, of which 51% developed IAH 143 and 29% IAH 145. Sodium intake was high in all patients. Fluid balances were slightly positive and comparable between the groups. Patients with IAH 145 were more severely ill on admission, and during admission, their sodium intake, cumulative sodium balances, serum creatinine and copeptin levels were higher. According to the free water clearance, all the patients conserved water. On multivariate analysis, the baseline serum creatinine was an independent risk factor for the development of IAH 143 and IAH 145. Also, the copeptin levels remained significant for IAH 143 and IAH 145. Sodium intake remained only significant for patients with IAH 145. Conclusions Our data support the hypothesis that IAH is due to the combination of higher sodium intake and a urinary concentration deficit, as a manifestation of the renal impairment elicited by severe illness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypernatremia is a major electrolyte disorder associated with death among critically ill patients. Glucocorticoid therapy may cause hypernatremia in refractory septic shock patients, but the association between glucocorticoid and intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired hypernatremia (IAH) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify whether glucocorticoid administration was associated with IAH. METHODS This was a nested case-control study using data from an established cohort including 121 IAH cases identified from 1756 patients who were admitted to ICU in a tertiary care facility in Japan. We included patients who were admitted with a normal range of serum sodium concentrations (130-149 mEq/L) from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015 and remained in ICU for ≥ 2 days. Hypernatremia was defined as serum sodium concentration ≥ 150 mEq/L. Each case was matched to one control. RESULTS Multivariable conditional logistic regression revealed high-dose glucocorticoid {odds ratio (OR), 4.15 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.29-13.4]}, acute kidney injury (AKI) [OR, 2.72 (95% CI 1.31-5.62)], and osmotic diuretics [OR, 3.44 (95% CI 1.41-8.39)] to be significantly associated with IAH. The contents and amounts of fluid infusion were not significantly associated with IAH. There were also significant duration-response effects between duration of glucocorticoid use and IAH; however, pulse glucocorticoid administration was not associated with IAH. CONCLUSION In this nested case-control study, we demonstrated a significant association between IAH and high-dose glucocorticoid with significant duration-response effects. Serum sodium concentrations should be monitored carefully in critically ill patients administered prolonged high-dose glucocorticoid.

Abstract
Hypertonicity causes severe clinical manifestations and is associated with mortality and severe short-term and long-term neurological sequelae. The main clinical syndromes of hypertonicity are hypernatremia and hyperglycemia. Hypernatremia results from relative excess of body sodium over body water. Loss of water in excess of intake, gain of sodium salts in excess of losses or a combination of the two are the main mechanisms of hypernatremia. Hypernatremia can be hypervolemic, euvolemic or hypovolemic. The management of hypernatremia addresses both a quantitative replacement of water and, if present, sodium deficit, and correction of the underlying pathophysiologic process that led to hypernatremia. Hypertonicity in hyperglycemia has two components, solute gain secondary to glucose accumulation in the extracellular compartment and water loss through hyperglycemic osmotic diuresis in excess of the losses of sodium and potassium. Differentiating between these two components of hypertonicity has major therapeutic implications because the first component will be reversed simply by normalization of serum glucose concentration while the second component will require hypotonic fluid replacement. An estimate of the magnitude of the relative water deficit secondary to osmotic diuresis is obtained by the corrected sodium concentration, which represents a calculated value of the serum sodium concentration that would result from reduction of the serum glucose concentration to a normal level.

Abstract
PURPOSE Thiazides are suggested as a treatment for intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired hypernatremia (IAH). The primary aim of the study was reducing serum sodium concentration (sNa) in patients with IAH with hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in comparison to placebo. Secondary end points were a difference in urine sodium concentration (uNa) and duration of severe IAH. MATERIALS A monocentric, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 50 patients with IAH and urine potassium + uNa less than sNa in a spot urine sample. Patients were randomized to HCT 25 mg or placebo 1 qd for maximal 7 days. Patients on renal replacement therapy, on medication inducing diabetes insipidus, or with recent use of diuretics were excluded. IAH was defined as sNa of at least 143 mmol/L. RESULTS At baseline, sNa and uNa were comparable between groups. During the study period, sNa decreased significantly with median 4 mmol/L in both groups, with no significant difference between groups (P=.32). Median uNa increased significantly in both groups (46 [16-86] mmol/L in the HCT-group; 20 [10-66]mmol/L in the placebo group), with no difference between groups (P=.34). Median duration of sNa of at least 145 mmol/L was 3 days in both groups (P=.91). CONCLUSION HCT 25 mg 1 qd did not significantly affect sNa or uNa in patients with IAH.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the potential physiological role of vasopressin and the incretin hormone of the gastrointestinal tract (glucagon-like peptide-1; GLP-1) in the regulation of the water-salt balance in a hyperosmolar state as a result of sodium loadings. In rats, the administration of hypertonic NaCl solution resulted in a significant increase in natriuresis, which correlated with the vasopressin excretion rate. Natriuresis following an i.p. NaCl load (23.2 ± 1.4 μmol/min/kg) was enhanced by inhibition of V2 receptors (51.6 ± 3.7 μmol/min/kg, P < 0.05) and was reduced by a V1a antagonist injection (6.3 ± 1.1 μmol/min/kg, P < 0.05). Compared to i.p. salt administration, oral NaCl loading induced a significant increase in the plasma GLP-1 level within 5 min and resulted in more prominent natriuresis and a smaller increase in blood sodium concentration. It was hypothesised that the basis for the fast elimination of excess sodium following an oral NaCl load could be the involvement of GLP-1 in osmoregulation combined with vasopressin. It was demonstrated that GLP-1 mimetic exenatide (1.5 nmol/kg) produced a significant decrease in proximal reabsorption and an increase in fractional sodium excretion (from 0.15 ± 0.04% to 9 ± 1%). It was also shown that vasopressin at doses of 1-10 μg/kg and the selective V1a agonist (1 μg/kg) induced an increase in sodium fractional excretion to 10 ± 2% and 8 ± 2%, respectively. Combined administration of exenatide and V1a agonist revealed their cumulative natriuretic effect, and sodium fractional excretion increased by up to 18 ± 2%. These data suggest that GLP-1 combined with vasopressin could be involved in the regulation of sodium balance in the hyperosmolar state as a result of NaCl loading. Vasopressin regulates the reabsorption of a significant portion of filtered sodium in the distal segment of the nephron and modulates the natriuretic effect of GLP-1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) is one of the most common endocrine forms of secondary hypertension. Among the most used confirmatory tests for PHA is urinary aldosterone determination after oral sodium loading test. The primary aim of our study was to investigate if sodium concentrations interfere with urinary aldosterone in an automated competitive immunoassay (Liaison®) as well as to verify the manufacturer's specifications. DESIGN AND METHODS 24-hr urine samples were collected and stored frozen until assayed. Two pools at low and high aldosterone concentrations were prepared. Verification of performance for precision was tested according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document EP15-A2 and interference with increasing concentrations of NaCl according to CLSI EP7-A2. RESULTS The assay met the quality specifications according to optimal biological variation. Our results show that sodium concentrations up to 200mmol/L do not interfere on urinary aldosterone quantification, but sodium concentrations above 486mmol/L negatively interfere with the test. CONCLUSIONS The Liaison® automated method is useful for aldosterone determination in the PHA confirmatory test, but interferences with NaCl may occur. It is therefore recommended to determine urinary NaCl before measuring urinary aldosterone to avoid falsely low results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High serum sodium (sNa) concentrations may be associated with hypertension, which deteriorates kidney function. However, it is equivocal whether high sNa concentrations are associated with impaired kidney function independently of blood pressure (BP) or serum chloride (sCl). Therefore, we addressed this issue in an apparently healthy population. METHODS Clinical variables including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were examined in 3603 men and women (aged 25-75 years) who underwent health-screening check-ups. sNa concentrations were classified into five categories. RESULTS Most parameters, including age and BP, increased with increasing sNa, whereas eGFR decreased. Logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with low-normal sNa (≤ 140 mEq/l), high sNa (≥ 144 mEq/l) was significantly associated with elevated BP (≥ 130/85 mmHg) even after adjustment for blood hematocrit, eGFR, serum potassium (sK) concentration and sCl. The highest sNa category was significantly associated with reduced eGFR (< 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2)) independently of elevated BP. Unlike adjustment for sK, adjustment for sCl strengthened the association between high sNa and elevated BP but attenuated the association between high sNa and reduced eGFR. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that high sNa concentrations, even within the normal range, are independently associated with elevated BP and impaired kidney function. These associations may be substantially modified by sCl.

Abstract
In this work, the mechanism of cell bleb formation upon the addition of cryoprotectants (CPAs) was investigated, and the role of cell blebs in protecting cells was determined. The results show that after adding CPAs, the hyperosmotic stress results in the breakage of the cortical cytoskeleton and the detachment of the cell membrane from the cortical cytoskeleton, causing the formation of cell blebs. Multiple blebs decrease the intracellular hydrostatic pressure induced by the extracellular hyperosmotic shock and alleviate the osmotic damage to cells, which reduces the cell mortality rate. In the presence of a low concentration of CPAs, cell blebs can effectively protect cells. In contrast, in the presence of a high concentration of CPAs, the protective effect is limited because of severe disruption in the cortical cytoskeleton. To determine the relationship between blebs and the mortality rate of cells, we defined a bleb index and found that the bleb index of 0.065 can be regarded as a reference value for the safe addition of DMSO to HeLa cells. The bleb index can also explain why the stepwise addition of CPAs is better than the single-step addition of CPAs. Moreover, the mechanism of the autophagy of cells induced by the hyperosmotic stress was studied, and the protective effect associated with the autophagy was compared with the effect of the blebbing. The findings reported here elucidate a self-protection mechanism of cells experiencing the hyperosmotic stress in the presence of CPAs, and they provide significant evidence for cell tolerance in the field of cryopreservation.

Abstract
Sodium disturbances are frequent and serious complications in neurocritically ill patients. Hyponatremia is more common than hypernatremia, which is, however, prognostically worse. The aim of this study was to analyse outcome and frequency of sodium disturbances in relation to measured serum osmolality in neurologic-neurosurgical critically ill patients. A 5-year retrospective collection of patients (pts) and laboratory data were made from the Laboratory Information System database in the Clinical Biochemistry Department. The criteria for patients' inclusion was acute brain disease and serum sodium (SNa(+)) <135 mmol/l (hyponatremia) or SNa(+) >150 mmol/l (hypernatremia). Hypoosmolality was defined as measured serum osmolality (SOsm) <275 mmol/kg, hyperosmolality as SOsm >295 mmol/kg. We performed analysis of differences between hyponatremia and hypernatremia and subanalysis of differences between hypoosmolal hyponatremia and hypernatremia. From 1,440 pts with acute brain diseases there were 251 (17 %) pts with hyponatremia (mean SNa(+) 131.78 ± 2.89 mmol/l, SOsm 279.46 ± 11.84 mmol/kg) and 75 (5 %) pts with hypernatremia (mean SNa(+) 154.38 ± 3.76 mmol/l, SOsm 326.07 ± 15.93 mmol/kg). Hypoosmolal hyponatremia occurred in 50 (20 % of hyponatremic patients) pts (mean SNa(+) 129.62 ± 4.15 mmol/l; mean SOsm 267.35 ± 6.28 mmol/kg). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that hypernatremia is a significant predictor of mortality during neurologic-neurosurgical intensive care unit (NNICU) stay (OR 5.3, p = 0.002) but not a predictor of bad outcome upon discharge from NNICU, defined as Glasgow Coma Scale 1-3. These results showed that hypernatremia occurred less frequently than all hyponatremias, but more often than hypoosmolal hyponatremia. Hypernatremia was shown to be a significant predictor of NNICU mortality compared to hyponatremia.
