Letter regarding "Evidence-based hyponatremia management in liver disease"

Because hyponatremia is multifactorial and complex, the clinical diagnosis and management of adverse effects of osmolar derangement are difficult, particularly in critically ill patients. On the T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images, osmotic demyelination lesions show in...

Description
Summary:Because hyponatremia is multifactorial and complex, the clinical diagnosis and management of adverse effects of osmolar derangement are difficult, particularly in critically ill patients. On the T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images, osmotic demyelination lesions show increased signal intensity with corresponding high signal intensity on DWI (and low ADC values), indicating restricted diffusion due to active cytotoxic edema in the affected brain areas [5,8,9].
