The term pseudohyponatremia is often erroneously used for hyponatremia caused by hyperglycemia, which increases the blood osmolality what results in the movement of water from the cells into the blood and therefore in dilutional hyponatremia, which is true hypertonic hypervolemic hyponatremia.
Listen. 1  Pseudohypoparathyroidism is caused by changes (mutations) in a number of different genes including the GNAS1 gene. When this gene is not working correctly, the body is not able to properly respond to parathyroid hormone, which increases the level of phosphorous in the blood and decreases the level of calcium.
