HYPONATREMIA made easy!!

A detailed overview of hyponatremia (hyponatraemia) including classification, investigations and management. Also we discuss the essential topic of osmolality which will help you to have a better understanding of hyponatremia. Enjoy ^_^

FAQs
1. What is transcellular fluid?
Transcellular fluid is the smallest proportion of extracellular fluid making up less than 3%. This fluid is 'walled off' from blood plasma and interstitial fluid by epithelial cells (however is not contained within cells). Examples include CSF (cerebrospinal fluid), aqueous & vitreous humour (eye fluid), synovial fluid (joint fluid), endolymph (ear fluid)...

It is very delightful to have you back!
Excellent video

Very good, detailed and awareness video on hyponatrema. It has very good graphical illustrations\demonstrations with very good explanations on the treatment of hyponatremia based on the understanding sodium content in the body. Well delivered and well done!!

So glad to have you back! You are amazing Ruz!! 🤗 I'm so excited to rock the merch! Xx

I had a Sodium level of 99 and was in ICU for 10 days but survived. Apparently it was due to combination of prescription medication. I was told it was one of the lowest levels ever recorded but I am fine now. Had a close call!

Great video but one small comment. Molality refers to the amount of moles of solute per 1 kg of solvent (in this case water), not per kg of solution.

[lesleygreene]

Nice and clear, both video and dialogue

Welcome back Ruz!!! Thank goodness ❤️❤️❤️

[negasiweldu]

Welcome back Ruz!...how can I get more videos (more than the seven videos in here) of you pls?

How much fresh water would one have to drink to get this condition from a severely dehydrated state? Can other salts in normal ground water substitute for sodium? There is the old advice to not drink fast, but it didn't seem to matter for me.

such a good vid, i like the graphics. Also easy forget that we have TRILLIONS of cells! how can this be?!
