TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Disorders of Water Homeostasis: Hypo- and Hypernatremia A1 - Weisberg, Lawrence S. A2 - Lee, Kiwon PY - 2017 T2 - The NeuroICU Book, 2e AB - Critically ill patients are prone to a wide variety of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disorders. Two of those disorders are of particular relevance to patients with critical neurological illness: hypo- and hypernatremia. These are by far the most common electrolyte abnormalities in patients with central nervous system disease and have the most pressing diagnostic and therapeutic implications. This chapter therefore focuses exclusively on these disorders. Interested readers will find a recent, more comprehensive discussion of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base abnormalities in critically ill patients elsewhere.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/18 UR - neurology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1143957752 ER -
