This increase in total body water isgreater than the total body sodium level,resulting in edema. The three main causes ofhypervolemic hyponatremia are congestiveheart failure, liver cirrhosis, and renal dis-eases such as renal failure and nephrotic syn-drome.
Hypervolemic hyponatremia. Hypervolemic hyponatremia is characterized by an increase in both total body sodium (and thus ECF volume) and TBW with a relatively greater increase in TBW. Various edematous disorders, including heart failure and cirrhosis, cause hypervolemic hyponatremia. Rarely, hyponatremia occurs in nephrotic syndrome, although pseudohyponatremia may be due to interference with sodium measurement by elevated lipids.
