Serum sodium level is inversely correlated with body temperature in children

Background Several studies have demonstrated that non‐osmotic antidiuretic hormone activity contributes to the development of hyponatremia in children with common febrile diseases. However, the relationship between hyponatremia and body temperature has remained unclear. We therefore examined this re...

Description
Summary:Background Several studies have demonstrated that non‐osmotic antidiuretic hormone activity contributes to the development of hyponatremia in children with common febrile diseases. However, the relationship between hyponatremia and body temperature has remained unclear. We therefore examined this relationship in children with common diseases. Methods In this retrospective case study based on a chart review, 1,973 children presenting with acute illnesses at Hirakata City Hospital between November 2008 and October 2009, and for whom blood test data were available, were enrolled. The median age of this cohort was 2.7 years and the mean serum sodium concentration was 136.4 mEq/L; 454 patients showed hyponatremia (
