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.
The most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism is a benign tumor called an adenoma on one of the parathyroid glands that secretes too much PTH. In other cases, the excess PTH is produced by two or more enlarged parathyroid glands, a condition called hyperplasia.
