Abstract
Hypernatremia or high serum sodium levels can have many different causes, includinginsufficient free water intake, or excess free water losses. The management of hypernatremia focuses on resolving the underlying cause, replenishing free water deficit, and preventing further losses while closely monitoring serum sodium concentration. This systematic review was carried outusing medical databases such as PubMed, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar for relevant medical literature. The identified articles were reviewed, eligibility criteria were applied, and seven research articles were identified. The effect of the rate of hypernatremia correction on both short- and long-term outcomes in volume-resuscitated patients was the focus of our search for randomized or observational studies. Based on our analysis of the clinical evidence, we concluded that the present recommendations for treating acute and chronic hypernatremia in resuscitated patients do not stem from high-quality research.
