Sit back and grab some salty treats as you enjoy the mindful musings of master nephrologist Dr. Joel Topf (X: @Kidney_Boy) who joins Nick & Cyrus to chat about hyponatremia in critical illness - a very common condition. Here we discuss diagnosis and management of hyponatremia with special attention to those in the intensive care unit. Of course, no discussion is complete without plenty of time dedicated to osmotic demyelination syndrome (aka: central pontine myelinolysis) which gets plenty of face-time during this episode. Give it a listen and leave feeling confident in your ability to diagnose and manage a very prevalent condition in our patient population!
