Three-Month Prevalence Rate NSH Population (n = 328) 233 males 105 females Mean Serum Sodium X = 139.3 SD = 2.8 7.9% Hyponatremia No association with dose or class of anti- psychotic medication

Symptoms of Hyponatremia Depend on: Degree Rapidity Susceptibility age (young and old), CNS trauma, respiratory reserve, female gender

Symptoms of Hyponatremia In the Context of Schizophrenia Normal140 (mmol/L) ???135 Lethargy, Apathy130 Confusion Agitation Muscle Cramps Hallucinations120 Seizures Coma Pseudobulbar palsy110 Hypothermia Death

Symptoms of Hyponatremia Mostly CNS in nature : Acute Chronic

Day 1 104 mmol/L Seizures Comatose Day 2 121 mmol/L Day 3 140 mmol/L Kurokawa et al (2004)
11
Other morbidities include: impaired cognition impaired gait and balance leading to falls pathologic fractures and osteoporosis (Siegel, 2008)
12
Available Treatments for Hyponatremia Correct underlying disorder Diuretics Fluid Restriction Hypertonic Saline Off-label Demeclocycline Lithium carbonate Urea Clozapine
13
A recent review identified more than 30 pharmacologic studies of agents thought to: reduce fluid intake (e.g. beta blockers, alpha adrenergic antagonists, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) reduce stereotypic behaviors (e.g. opiod antagonists) increase water excretion (lithium, demeclocycline) directly increase plasma tonicity (e.g. salt, electrolyte containing beverages).
14
“…the trials offer little useful data to the clinician” to guide effective management of polydipsia or hyponatremia. (Brooks & Ahmed, 2006)
