ABSTRACT

The cerebral salt wasting syndrome and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion are frequent in hyponatremia in patients with intracranial disorders.There is a major problem about the incidence,diagnosis,and differentiation of cerebral salt wasting syndrome and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone in patients with acute central nervous system disorders.Clinical presentation of cerebral salt wasting syndrome is similar to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion,but the therapy is different.So differential diagnosis is essential for appropriate management.This paper differentiate two kinds of diseases from the pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment.
