What Causes Hypernatremia?
Discussion
Hypernatremia is a serum sodium of > 150 mEq/L. Basic causes are too much sodium or too little free water.
If body weight is normal or increased, there is an increase in total body sodium without an appropriate increase in total body water. Normally when the serum sodium is increased there is transient hypertonicity of the plasma which causes the thirst center to be stimulated and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to be released. The thirst center tells the person to drink more water and ADH causes the kidney to retain free water. This normally will allow the plasma tonicity to go back to normal. Treatment is by t...

State-of-the-art review of lithium poisoning: almost a must-read
4 out of 5 stars
Lithium Poisoning: State of the Art. Baird-Gunning J et al. J Intensive Care Med 2016 Aug 11 [Epub ahead of print]
Abstract
This is a very good paper, the best comprehensive review I can remember reading on lithium. It is up to date, with 78 references as recent as 2015. A major reason I liked it so much is that the authors are quire frank about how much we don’t know, and resist giving, for instance, mandates about when to start hemodialysis based on lithium levels. This is a temptation that the authors of the recent ExTRIP review succumbed to. Interestingly, the two papers share an author (So...
