Hyponatremia Treatment Algorithm

CHF, Cirrhosis - Fluid restriction
SIADH - Fluid restriction
 - Consider salt tablets if etiology is not quickly reversible
 - If Uosm > 500, consider adding loop diuretic
Reset Osmostat - Treatment not indicated
Any form of volume depletion - IV Fluids
  - CAREFUL for over-correction (improved volume status turns off ADH -> free water diuresis)
1° polydipsia - Normalize fluid intake
