The dangers of severe hyponatremia

Severe hyponatremia can cause inflammatory damage to the central nervous system. Symptoms include headache, drowsiness, and may trigger seizures; in severe cases, it can lead to coma and even patient death. Once hyponatremia is detected, prompt symptomatic treatment is essential. The underlying cause should be identified through systematic evaluation, and targeted therapeutic measures should be implemented. Patients with moderate hyponatremia require timely and active treatment to achieve early relief. These patients often have a high likelihood of suffering from other underlying medical conditions.
