Abstract
Sodium disturbances are common in patients with brain injury because of the major role that the central nervous system plays in the regulation of sodium and water homeostasis. In addition, treatment of the injured brain can itself disturb regulation of sodium and water. Sodium disturbances can lead to serious complications and adverse outcomes, including death. Complications can be minimized by a systematic approach to recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of the sodium disturbance.
