To minimize the risk of central<unk>  myelinolysis developing from its most common cause, overly rapid reversal of hyponatremia, the hyponatremia should be corrected slowly. The<unk>  goals of treating hypernatremia are estimating the magnitude of water deficit, determining the proper rate of correction, addressing the concurrent electrolyte or volume deficits and calculating the fluid deficit regimen using the estimated water deficit and desired rate of correction. Correcting sodium level is vital in order to prevent any permanent brain damage.
