    Hyponatremia is an electrolyte disturbance defined as a serum sodium concentration of less than 135 mEq/L. To determine the cause of hyponatremia, clinicians should first assess volume status and consider whether the patient has extracellular volume depletion, normal volume status, or extracellular volume expansion. Next, urine osmolality and sodium concentration are measured to distinguish between dilutional and non-dilutional hyponatremia.
