2023年5月29日 · Hypernatremia occurs when the balance of water and sodium in your blood is off: there's either too much sodium or not enough water. This can happen when too much water is lost or too much sodium...

2023年2月16日 · Hypernatremia refers to sodium levels in the blood being too high. Common causes include inadequate fluid intake, or fluid loss. Sodium plays an essential role in...

2023年8月24日 · Hypernatremia is defined as a serum sodium concentration of greater than 145 meq/L. [1] [2] [3] [4] The basic mechanisms of hypernatremia are water deficit and excess solute. Total body water loss relative to solute loss is the most …

Hypernatremia, also spelled hypernatraemia, is a high concentration of sodium in the blood. [3] Early symptoms may include a strong feeling of thirst, weakness, nausea, and loss of appetite. [1]

Because sodium and its anions make up most of the effective osmoles in the extracellular fluid, a high plasma sodium concentration (hypernatremia) indicates hypertonicity and a decrease in cell volume [1,2]. In most cases, hypernatremia results from water depletion.

Hypernatremia is a serum sodium concentration > 145 mEq/L (> 145 mmol/L). It implies a deficit of total body water relative to total body sodium, caused by water intake being less than water losses.

In hypernatremia, the body contains too little water for the amount of sodium. The sodium level in the blood becomes abnormally high when water loss exceeds sodium loss.
