Lee LMY, Tan SYT, Loh WJ. High Urinary Sodium Concentrations in Severe SIADH: Case Reports of 2 Patients and Literature Review. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:897940. [PMID: 35602488 PMCID: PMC9114638 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.897940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
We present two cases of severe hyponatremia secondary to syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) with very high urine sodium concentrations (>130 mmol/L). The first patient had hyponatremia from traumatic brain injury (TBI) while the second case had a history of recurrent SIADH triggered by various causes including gastritis. In both cases, fluid administration and/or consumption worsened the hyponatremia. Although a low urine sodium of <30 mmol/L is highly suggestive of hypovolemic hyponatremia and good response to saline infusion, there is lack of clarity of the threshold of which high urine sodium concentration can differentiate various causes of natriuresis such as SIADH, renal or cerebral salt wasting. Apart from high urine osmolality (>500 mOsm/kg), persistence of high urine sodium concentrations may be useful to predict poor response to fluid restriction in SIADH. More studies are needed to delineate treatment pathways of patients with very high urine osmolality and urine sodium concentrations in SIADH.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is a commonly encountered electrolyte imbalance with varied etiology. Hyponatremia can be broadly classified as hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic hyponatremia based on the tonicity of plasma. Hypotonic hypovolemia is further classified as hypovolemic, euvolemic, and hypervolemic hyponatremia based on the volume status. Gastrointestinal fluid and electrolyte losses, secondary to vomiting and diarrhea, is an important predisposition to hypotonic hypovolemic hyponatremia. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) play a pivotal role in maintaining intravascular volume and serum sodium concentration. Dexamethasone is a potent glucocorticoid with minimal mineralocorticoid activity. It negatively affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, particularly with prolonged administration. In the index case, acute severe hypovolemic hyponatremia ensued on the third post-procedure (endovascular embolization of traumatic carotico-cavernous fistula (CCF)) day while the patient was on intravenous dexamethasone. This case underscores that even small fluid and electrolyte imbalance in the setting of dexamethasone therapy may lead to severe hypovolemic hyponatremia, which requires specific therapy.

TSCI with Concurrent TBI: Pathophysiological Interaction and Impact on MSC Treatment. Cells 2021; 10:2955. [PMID: 34831179 PMCID: PMC8616497 DOI: 10.3390/cells10112955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Revised: 10/08/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), commonly caused by high energy trauma in young active patients, is frequently accompanied by traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although combined trauma results in inferior clinical outcomes and a higher mortality rate, the understanding of the pathophysiological interaction of co-occurring TSCI and TBI remains limited. This review provides a detailed overview of the local and systemic alterations due to TSCI and TBI, which severely affect the autonomic and sensory nervous system, immune response, the blood-brain and spinal cord barrier, local perfusion, endocrine homeostasis, posttraumatic metabolism, and circadian rhythm. Because currently developed mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapeutic strategies for TSCI provide only mild benefit, this review raises awareness of the impact of TSCI-TBI interaction on TSCI pathophysiology and MSC treatment. Therefore, we propose that unravelling the underlying pathophysiology of TSCI with concomitant TBI will reveal promising pharmacological targets and therapeutic strategies for regenerative therapies, further improving MSC therapy.

Abstract
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSWS) as the two most common neuroendocrine diseases, have been recognized and understood by many neurologists. Although SIADH and CSWS are the common causes of central hyponatremia after traumatic brain injury (TBI), a few cases are mixed, with the coexistence of the two pathological pathomechanism. However, the mixed type of both SIADH and CSWS has not been clearly reported in any literature. Here, we present the first description of the concurrent syndrome of SIADH and CSWS after TBI in four patients who underwent standard diagnostic procedures, treatment and follow up. Our findings further support that this rare neuroendocrine disease may exist in clinical practice, in which the traditional-conventional treatment shows poor efficacy.
