Hyponatremia in Hypothyroid Disorders: Current Understanding - Abstract
The association of hyponatremia with primary hypothyroidism is well known but infrequent. Also in patients undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer, hyponatremia may arise. However, given the infrequency with which hyponatremia occur in patients with hypothyroidism, there are concerns that this may only be a coincidence. Here we review the available literature for the prevalence, pathologic mechanism and clinical implication of hyponatremia associated with hypothyroidism.
