4 DEFINING HYPONATRAEMIA Defined as a serum sodium concentration ([Na + ]) < 135 mmol/L 1,2 –May have low, normal or high total body sodium –Hyponatraemia may be caused by either depletion of body sodium or dilution of body sodium in excess water Onset can be rapid (i.e. acute, which develops in < 48 hours) or gradual (i.e. chronic) 1,2 Patients with hyponatraemia secondary to the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) are euvolaemic 1 1.

14 AT HOSPITAL DISCHARGE, HYPONATRAEMIA MAY NOT BE CORRECTED Prospective case control study of 104 hyponatraemic patients (serum [Na + ] < 125 mmol/L) in a large teaching hospital On average, serum [Na + ] was not corrected by the time the patients were discharged A group of high-risk patients were identified with a serum [Na + ] which fell during admission Mortality was greater in these high-risk patients than in patients who did not experience a further decline in serum [Na + ] (34% vs 16%, p < 0.001) In 73% of cases the cause of hyponatraemia was not recorded Serum [Na + ] during admission in patients admitted with hyponatraemia Serum [Na + ] (mmol/L) Adapted from: Gill G, et al.

17 SIADH* IS THE MOST FREQUENT CAUSE OF HYPONATRAEMIA 1 Characterised by the inappropriate secretion of, or response to, vasopressin 1 –Vasopressin is secreted despite hypotonicity (low plasma osmolality) 1 In most cases, inappropriate secretion of vasopressin results in: 1,2 –An inability to excrete dilute urine –Retention of water –Modest expansion of ECF volume –Dilution of serum [Na + ] –Ultimately hypotonic (dilutional) hyponatraemia 1. Ellison DH, et al. N Engl J Med. 2007;356:2064-2072. 2. Verbalis JG, et al. Am J Med. 2007;120(11A):S1-S21. * Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone

18 DIAGNOSING SIADH: ESSENTIAL CRITERIA Hyponatraemia < 135 mmol/L Plasma hypo-osmolality < 275 mOsm/Kg Urine osmolality > 100 mOsm/Kg Clinical euvolaemia No clinical signs of hypovolaemia (orthostatic decreases in blood pressure, tachycardia, decreased skin turgor, dry mucous membranes) No clinical signs of hypervolaemia (oedema, ascites) Increased urinary sodium excretion with normal salt and water intake > 30 mmol/L Absence of other potential causes of euvolaemic hypo-osmolality Exclude hypothyroidism, hypocortisolism, renal disease and recent diuretics 1. Ellison DH, et al. N Engl J Med. 2007;356:2064-2072. 2. Verbalis JG, et al. Am J Med. 2007;120(11A):S1-S21.

19 POOR INVESTIGATION LEADS TO UNDER-DIAGNOSIS OF SIADH 1 Significant discrepancies in the number of diagnoses of SIADH in a cohort of 104 hyponatraemic patients 1. Huda MSB, et al.

29 RAPID CORRECTION OF GRADUAL-ONSET HYPONATRAEMIA AND OSMOTIC DEMYELINATION SYNDROME 1. Adrogue HJ, Madias NE. N Eng J Med. 2000;342:1581-1589..

30 RAPID-ONSET SYMPTOMATIC HYPONATRAEMIA REQUIRES PROMPT TREATMENT In severe and symptomatic cases, rapid correction of serum [Na + ] is required with hypertonic saline 1,2 –Hypertonic 3% saline solution to raise serum [Na + ] by 1-2 mmol/L/hour 1,2 Serum [Na + ] should not be corrected to normal levels 1 –Correction of no more than 8-10 mmol/L in the first 24 hours 2 –18-25 mmol/L during the first 48 hours 2 Serum [Na + ] should be monitored every 2-4 hours 1 –A loop diuretic may be used to enhance water excretion 1,2 1. Verbalis JG, et al. Am J Med. 2007;120(11A):S1-S21. 2. Ellison DH, et al. N Engl J Med. 2007;356:2064-2072.

31 TREATMENT OF GRADUAL-ONSET HYPONATRAEMIA Fluid restriction has been the treatment of choice of patients with gradual-onset hyponatraemia 1,2 –Rapid correction of serum [Na + ] can precipitate osmotic demyelination Fluid restriction has been used as a treatment for hyponatraemia secondary to SIADH since 1957 3 –However: Even severe water restriction of < 500 ml/day produced correction rates of only 1-2 mmol/L/day 3 5-6 days of fluid restriction required to bring the serum sodium concentration into normal ranges 3 1. Ellison DH, et al. N Engl J Med. 2007;356:2064-2072. 2. Verbalis JG, et al. Am J Med. 2007;120(11A):S1-S21. 3. Schwartz WB, et al. Am J Med. 1957;23:529-542.

32 IN PATIENTS WITH A U/P ELECTROLYTE RATIO ≥ 1 THERE IS NO FREE WATER CLEARANCE Example: –Plasma [Na + ] = 120 mmol/L –Urinary [K + ] = 50 mmol/L –Urinary [Na + ] = 70 mmol/L This patient would have a U/P ratio of 1, and would not excrete any free water If there is no free water clearance and no provision to replace sodium and potassium lost in the urine, fluid restriction may result in a short-term worsening of the hyponatraemia 1 Furst H, et al. Am J Med Sci. 2000;319 (4):240-244.

35 SAMSCA DIRECTLY TARGETS THE MECHANISM OF SIADH TO PROMOTE FREE WATER CLEARANCE Mechanism of action of Samsca Blood Collecting Duct Principal Cell Collecting Duct Samsca blocks the binding of vasopressin to theV 2 receptors Synthesis & transport of aquaporin-2 proteins is reduced This prevents free water absorption 1. Verbalis JG, et al. Am J Med. 2007;120(11A):S1-S21.

42 Prescribing Information Samsca®▼(tolvaptan) Presentation: Tablets containing 15 mg or 30 mg of tolvaptan. Indication: Treatment of adult patients with hyponatraemia secondary to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Dosage: To be initiated in hospital due to need for dose titration with close monitoring of serum sodium and volume status. For oral use, 15 mg once daily, increasing to a maximum of 60 mg once daily as tolerated to achieve desired serum sodium correction. No dosage adjustment for elderly or in mild to moderate renal or hepatic impairment. No information is available in severe renal or hepatic impairment. There is no experience in children and adolescents under the age of 18 years. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to any component of Samsca. Anuria. Volume depletion. Hypovolaemic hyponatraemia. Hypernatraemia. Patients who can not perceive thirst. Pregnancy. Breastfeeding. Warnings and precautions: For patients with urgent need to raise serum sodium acutely, alternative treatment should be considered. Patients must have adequate access to water and not become overly dehydrated. Urinary outflow must be secured.Patients should be closely monitored for serum sodium and volume status, particularly in those with renal and hepatic impairment. Too rapid correction of hyponatraemia can cause permanent neurological sequelae, coma or death. Monitoring of serum sodium should start no later than 4-6 hours after treatment initiation. Over rapid correction should be considered if sodium correction exceeds 6 mmol/l during the first 6 hours of administration or 8 mmol/l during the first 6-12 hours. These patients should be monitored more frequently and administration of hypotonic fluid is recommended. In case serum sodium increases ≥ 12 mmol/l within 24 hours or ≥ 18 mmol/l within 48 hours, tolvaptan treatment is to be interrupted followed by administration of hypotonic fluid. Pseudohyponatraemia should be excluded, particularly in hyperglycaemic patients.Samsca may cause hyperglycaemia, therefore diabetic patients treated with Samsca should be managed cautiously, in particular poorly controlled type II diabetes. Samsca contains lactose as an excipient; patients with galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine. Caution when driving vehicles or using machines, occasionally dizziness, asthenia or syncope may occur. Drug interactions: Caution with: co-administration with CYP3A4 inhibitors, inducers and substrates, digoxin, and vasopressin analogues. Concomitant use with other treatments for hyponatraemia and medicinal products that increase serum sodium concentration is not recommended. Undesirable effects: The following adverse reactions were reported in clinical trials in hyponatraemia: Very common (>1/10): Thirst, nausea. Common (>1/100 to 1/1000 to <1/100): Dysgeusia. See Summary of Product Characteristics for further details and other undesirable effects. Overdosage: There is no information on overdosage but profuse and prolonged aquaresis is anticipated. Adequate fluid intake must be maintained. Legal category: POM Marketing Authorisation numbers/Basic NHS price: SAMSCA 15 mg (EU/1/09/539/001) £746.80 for blister pack of 10 tablets.
