Solution

Inappropriate antidiuretic hormone:

  1. It is a type of hyponatremia in which the amount of antidiuretic hormone produced isn't proportional to the volume of osmotic stimulation, similar to cranial diabetes insipidus.
  2. Ectopic secretions by tumours, particularly small cell carcinoma of the lung, tumours, central nervous system diseases, trauma, infection and pulmonary lesions, medications, and infections, such as carbamazepine, are some of the causes.
  3. The need for normovolemia, heart and hepatic function, and normal endocrine in urine osmolality higher than the osmolality of the plasma are all strict diagnostic criteria.
  4. Correcting hyponatremia to an appropriate onset speed in the treatment that eliminates the cause.
