Lecture on hyperosmolar hypotonic hyponatremia

This is a formal lecture on the Tweetorial I posted about a patient with beer drinkers potomania but presented with increased serum osmolality due to ethanol intoxication.

Keynote • PowerPoint • PDF

Note: The presentations are designed to be displayed in KeyNote, the powerpoint version may be weird, especially the animations, and some of the icons maybe jaggy.

Dr. Topf @kidney_boy drops pearls on #hyponatremia: hypoNa + low ADH + low specific gravity can only be toast diet (b/c Carbs = H2O), beer drinker’s potomania (Carbs = H2O), or compulsive H2O ingestion. Rx: Soup, b/c soup is normal saline. @StonyBrookEM #FOAMed #MedEd #EMConf
