Table 2 Formulas for treatment of dysnatremias with saline or water infusions

Hypotonic hyponatremia

Change in sodium concentration after infusion of 1 L of saline. Adrogué-Madias formula[41]:

[Na]_Final - [Na]_Initial = ([Na]_Infusate - [Na]_Initial)/(TBW_Initial + 1)

Volume of saline required for a targeted serum sodium concentration[84]:

V_Infusate = TBW_Initial × ([Na]_Targeted - [Na]_Initial)/[Na](_Infusate - [Na]_Targeted)

Hypernatremia

Volume of D5/W required for a targeted serum sodium concentration[37]:

V_Infusate = TBW_Initial × ([Na]_Initial - [Na]_Targeted)/[Na]_Targeted

Volume of hypotonic saline required for a targeted serum sodium concentration[37]:

V_Infusate = TBW_Initial × ([Na]_Initial - [Na]_Targeted)/([Na]_Targeted - [Na]_Infusate)

[Na]_Final: Final serum sodium concentration after infusion of 1 L of saline with a sodium concentration higher than the initial serum sodium concentration; [Na]_Initial: Initial serum sodium concentration; [Na]_Infusate: Sodium concentration in the infused saline; TBW_Initial: Initial volume of body water; V_Infusate: Volume of infused saline or dextrose required for a targeted change in serum sodium concentration; [Na]_Targeted: Targeted value of serum sodium concentration.
