    In severe or acute hypoosmolar hyponatremia, swelling of brain cells causes various neurological abnormalities, which in severe or acute cases can result in convulsions, coma, and death. The symptoms of chronic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis are more vague, and may include cognitive impairment , gait abnormalities , or osteoporosis .

  3. Hyperglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperglycemia

    The leading cause of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes is the failure of insulin to suppress glucose production by glycolysis and gluconeogenesis due to insulin resistance. [39] Insulin normally inhibits glycogenolysis, but fails to do so in a condition of insulin resistance, resulting in increased glucose production. [ 40 ]

  4. Hyponatremia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyponatremia

    False or pseudo hyponatremia is caused by a false lab measurement of sodium due to massive increases in blood triglyceride levels or extreme elevation of immunoglobulins as may occur in multiple myeloma. [12] Hyponatremia with elevated tonicity can occur with high blood sugar, causing a shift of excess free water into the serum. [12]

  5. Hypotonic hyponatremia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotonic_hyponatremia

    Hypoosmolar hyponatremia is a condition where hyponatremia is associated with a low plasma osmolality. [1] The term "hypotonic hyponatremia" is also sometimes used. [2] When the plasma osmolarity is low, the extracellular fluid volume status may be in one of three states: low volume, normal volume, or high volume.

    Hyperglycemia alters lung dendritic cell function, leading to an increase in susceptibility to respiratory agents. [44] Several studies also show diabetes associated with a worse disease course and slower recovery from respiratory infections. [45] Increased risk of wound infections; Restrictive lung disease is known to be associated with diabetes.

  7. Isotonic hyponatremia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotonic_hyponatremia

    Isotonic hyponatremia is a form of hyponatremia with mOsm measured between 280 and 295. It can be associated with pseudohyponatremia, or with isotonic infusion of glucose or mannitol . [ 1 ]

  8. Adrenal crisis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_crisis

    Hyponatremia in primary adrenal insufficiency is caused by concurrent aldosterone deficiency, resulting in volume depletion, natriuresis, and hyperkalemia. Hypercalcemia is triggered by decreased calcium excretion and accelerated bone resorption throughout an adrenal crisis, which can be exacerbated by volume depletion.

    Maternal hyperglycemia due to diabetes or iatrogenic glucose administration; Sepsis; Prolonged fasting (e.g., due to inadequate breast milk or condition interfering with feeding) Congenital hypopituitarism; Congenital hyperinsulinism, [1] several types, both transient and persistent; Inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism such as glycogen ...
