Glycerol,
mannitol, and occasionally urea can cause osmotic diuresis resulting in hypernatremia. The
most common cause of hypernatremia due to osmotic diuresis is hyperglycemia in patients
with diabetes

Correction with insulin and intravenous fluids can result in a rapid reduction in effective osmolarity,
reversal of the fluid shift and the development of cerebral edema. The goals for treatment should be a
combination of intravenous fluid and insulin that results in a gradual reduction of the effective
osmolarity over a 36- to 48-hour period, thereby avoiding rapid expansion of the ICF compartment and
brain swelling.
