Furosemide-associated hyponatremia in internal medicine patients: Analysis of epidemiological and biochemical profiles
Original language description
This retrospective study evaluates epidemiological, biochemical and clinical characteristics of patients hospitalized with hypotonic hyponatremia who were treated with furosemide. A total of 504 patients were included, of whom 81 (16.1%) were receiving furosemide. These patients demonstrated higher in‑hospital mortality and markedly impaired renal function parameters, along with increased fractional excretion of sodium, potassium, chloride, and water. However, their biochemical profile did not correspond to the typical pattern of diuretic‑induced hyponatremia. A minority of patients treated with furosemide alone exhibited features of true hypovolemic hyponatremia, suggesting that furosemide may contribute to its development in selected cases. The study highlights the complexity of interpreting electrolyte disturbances in multimorbid patients frequently receiving combined diuretic therapy.
