title: [Correction of severe hyponatremia].
abstract: Profound hyponatremia is a life-threatening emergency which can result in permanent neurological damage. The rate at which severe hyponatremia should be corrected is the focus of clinical debate. It is important, however, to differentiate chronic from acute hyponatremia and to develop a plan for correcting hyponatremia. A treatment regime is suggested.
