I recently saw a patient with hyponatremia and cirrhosis. He had been started on salt tablets to try to correct the hyponatremia. In a limited number of diagnosis salt tablets can help hyponatremia. Cirrhosis is not one of them. I created this Tweetorial to teach some basic hyponatremia physiology and clear up when they may work and when they will not.
I’m going to throw my hat in the Tweetorial ring.
Sometimes salt tablets work for hyponatremia and sometimes they don’t. How can you figure out when to use them and when not to?

This is my first shot at a Tweetorial. I wrote out the tweets in Apple Notes. I think I will use a spreadsheet with a character counter next time. Too many of my Tweet-length thoughts ended up being a bit too wordy. Having a counter during creation would help.
I also should have more links and pics.
Additionally, I bought the domain Tweetorial.org. Any ideas what I should use it for?
