Figure 1 Proposed algorithm based on determinations of FEurate to evaluate hyponatremic patients without the need to assess the volume status of the patient or determinations of UNa, plasma renin or aldosterone levels.
The dotted line connecting normonatremia and RSW with FEurate > 11% needs further verification. Modified from Ref. [28]. SIADH: Syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone; RSW: Renal salt wasting; HCTZ: Hydrochlorothiazide; CHF: Congestive heart failure.
