Consumer:Osmotic demyelination syndrome is a risk associated with overly rapid correction of hyponatremia (> 12 mEq/L/24 hours). This syndrome can result in dysarthria, mutism, dysphagia, lethargy, affective changes, spastic quadriparesis, seizure, coma or death. Patients with advanced liver disease, alcoholism or severe malnutrition are at increased risk and require slower rates of correction. Serum sodium concentration and neurological status should be monitored appropriately during treatment administration. Vasopressin antagonists should be initiated and re- initiated in patients only in hospital settings were sodium levels can be monitored closely.
