What is dilutional?

dilutional hyponatremia occurs when there is an excessive amount of water intake, leading to a decrease in sodium concentration in the blood. This can be caused by excessive thirst, excessive sweating, or dehydration. Dilutional hyponatremia can lead to symptoms such as confusion, seizures, and coma. It can also be dangerous and potentially life-threatening, especially if left untreated. The treatment for dilutional hyponatremia involves limiting water intake, administering intravenous fluids containing sodium, and treating the underlying cause of the condition. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you may have dilutional hyponatremia.
