Abstract
A consistent association between hyponatremia and increased mortality has been shown in hospitalized patients. A new study investigating dysnatremia in non-dialysis-dependent patients with chronic kidney disease found that both hyponatremia and hypernatremia are associated with increased mortality, independently of other diseases known to cause hyponatremia.Entities:
