Hyponatraemia during TVRP

ABSTRACT

Sixty patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia were selected for this study. Post-operative changes in serum sodium and incidence of TURP syndrome were studied. Results revealed that most of the patients experienced insignificant hyponatraemia after resection. Six [10%] patients had> 15mEq/L fall in serum sodium. Only two [3.3%] of them developed clinical features of TURP syndrome. Hyponatraemia had positive correlation with weight of the resectate
