Program Overview:

Hyponatremia, the most common disorder of fluid and electrolyte balance encountered in clinical pharmacy practice, is associated with significant morbidity and, if not managed correctly, may lead\to death. Treatment choices are critical to the often complex management of this condition, and pharmacists play a pivotal corroborating function in support of the physician’s treatment plan. While the treating physician is guiding the overall course of therapy for the patient with hyponatremia, the pharmacist is typically more continually focused on the detailed efficacy, safety, and cost data of prescribed therapies, effectively helping the physician to bridge between available treatments and best-case outcomes.

Educational Objectives:

After completing this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Determine the causes, pathophysiologic mechanisms, and classifications of hyponatremia
  • Identify the clinical symptoms and underlying disease states associated with different levels of hyponatremia
  • Critically assess the indications, limitations, and confounding variables of available treatments for different patient types, particularly those at highest risk
  • Recognize potential cost and resource allocation issues in relation to treatment of hyponatremia
  • Evaluate available therapeutic agents, growing evidence of expanded clinical benefits, and the developing need for comprehensive treatment guidelines
