Abstract
Background/objectives Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder, and is associated with high-morbimortality
rates. The true prevalence of hyponatremia in patients on parenteral nutrition (PN) is unknown, and the relationship between
PN composition and development of hyponatremia has yet to be studied. Hypoproteinemia, a common ﬁnding in patients
receiving PN, induces an overestimation of serum sodium (SNa) levels, when using indirect electrolyte methodology. Thus,
SNa should be corrected for serum total protein levels (TP).
The objective was to accurately determine the prevalence of hyponatremia (indirect SNa corrected for PT) and evaluate
the relationship between the composition of PN and the development of hyponatremia.
Subjects/methods Medical records of 222 hospitalized patients receiving total PN during a 7-month period were reviewed.
Composition of PN, indirect SNa-mmol/l-, and SNa corrected for TP (SNa-TP)-mmol/l-, both upon initiation and during PN
administration, were analyzed.
Results Hyponatremia (SNa < 135 mmol/l) was present in 81% of subjects when SNa was corrected for TP, vs. 43%
without correction (p = 0.001). In total 64% of patients that were eunatremic upon initiation of PN developed hyponatremia
during PN administration, as detected by SNa-TP, vs. 28% as detected by uncorrected SNa (p < 0.001). There were no
signiﬁcant differences in volume, osmolarity, sodium or total osmols administered in PN between patients who developed
hyponatremia and those who remained eunatremic.
Conclusions A majority of patients receiving PN present hyponatremia, when indirect SNa levels are corrected for TP. The
development of hyponatremia during PN is not related to the composition of the PN.
