Central pontine myelinolysis scenario the CPM is caused by polydipsia leading to low blood sodium levels (hyponatremia). In schizophrenic patients with psychogenic polydipsia, inadequate thirst reception leads to excessive water intake, severely diluting serum sodium. With this excessive thirst combined with psychotic symptoms, brain damage such as CPM may result from hyperosmolarity caused by excess intake of fluids, (primary polydipsia) although this is difficult to determine because such patients are often institutionalised and have a long history of mental health conditions. It has been observed following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. CPM may also occur in patients prone to hyponatraemia affected by: The currently
Human serum albumin domain. Serum albumin is commonly measured by recording the change in absorbance upon binding to a dye such as bromocresol green or bromocresol purple. Serum albumin concentration is typically 35–50 g/L (3.5–5.0 g/dL). Hypoalbuminemia means low blood albumin levels. This can be caused by: Hyperalbuminemia is an increased concentration of albumin in the blood. Typically, this condition is due to dehydration. Hyperalbuminemia has also been associated with high protein diets. Human albumin solution or HSA is available for medical use, usually at concentrations of 5–25%. Human albumin is often used to replace lost fluid and help restore blood volume in
