Abstract
The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and cerebral salt-wasting syndrome (CSWS) are in general associated to refractory hyponatremia especially in patients with neurologic disorders.Extracellular fluid (ECF) assessment is the key to distinguish between SIADH and CSWS.Nevertheless, measurement of the ECF volume is not sufficient to determine the correct etiology and more established diagnostic algorithms are required.
