Hyponatremia available in many areas of the world. Raising the serum sodium concentration too rapidly may cause central pontine myelinolysis. Avoid correction that leads to a serum sodium rise of more than 12 mEq/L/day. Hyponatremia is the most commonly seen water–electrolyte imbalance. The disorder is more frequent in females, the elderly, and in people who are hospitalized. The incidence of hyponatremia depends largely on the patient population. A hospital incidence of 15–20% is common, while only 3–5% of people who are hospitalized have a serum sodium level (salt blood level) of less than 130 mmol/L. Hyponatremia has been reported in up
Serum sickness an alternate antitoxin if it's appropriate or continue with prophylactic measures. Serum sickness Serum sickness in humans is a reaction to proteins in antiserum derived from a non-human animal source, occurring 5–10 days after exposure. It is a type of hypersensitivity, specifically immune complex hypersensitivity (type III). The term serum sickness–like reaction (SSLR) is occasionally used to refer to similar illnesses that arise from the introduction of certain non-protein substances, such as penicillin. It was first characterized by Clemens von Pirquet and Béla Schick in 1906. When an antiserum is given, the human immune system can mistake the proteins present
