Algorithm for the diagnosis of hyponatremia.

If you start with the osmolalities, urinary sodium etc first and leave the fluid status assessment til the end you are more likely to make a correct diagnosis - this is because fluid status assessment is unreliable even when perfomed by experienced doctors and has poor interrater agreement.
