  • Elderly patient with cerebral disease who has hypo-osmolar hyponatremic with increased urine sodium (>40) and urine osmolarity >100, consistent with SIADH
  • Key idea: Causes of SIADH include ectopic ADH (small cell lung cancer), pulmonary disease, CNS disorders or head trauma (such as infarction), and drugs (cyclophosphamide)
  • Dehydration โ€“> Low urine sodium (<40) because the body is trying to retain as much sodium and water as possible
  • Water intoxication โ€“> Low urine osmolality (often <100) because so much water is being consumed and excreted that the urine is very dilute
