Abstract

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte imbalance observed in hospitalized patients and it is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. The management of hyponatremia is based on the underlying cause. The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is the most common cause of hyponatremia. Hyponatremia observed in patients hospitalized due to medical causes is usually related to an underlying tumor. SIADH cases are often reported to be caused by cancers, where the majority is linked to small cell lung carcinoma. In this report, we presented a SIADH case which developed in a patient with small cell lung cancer.
