Hyponatremia is considered to be of acute onset if it develops in less than 48 hours. Patients who develop hyponatremia acutely almost always do so during hospitalization, and often during the postoperative period. Chronic hyponatremia is defined as that developing over a time course longer than 48 hours.
Severe hyponatremia is an emergency. To treat it, doctors slowly increase the level of sodium in the blood with intravenous fluids and sometimes with a diuretic. Newer drugs, called vaptans, are sometimes needed. Increasing the sodium level too rapidly can result in severe and often permanent brain damage.
