[Diagnosis and etiology of hyponatremia].
The unexpected finding of hyponatremia should prompt a clinical and biological investigation to find the etiology. Hyponatremia can be the first manifestation of hyperlipemia, unknown paraproteinemia or the Schwartz-Bartter syndrome. Indeed, a quick diagnosis and appropriate treatment are often necessary to reduce morbidity.
