Persistent Symptomatic Hyponatremia Post-COVID-19 A Complex Case Study
Introduction: Hyponatremia, a common electrolyte disturbance, has been increasingly reported in patients recovering from COVID-19. Studies suggest that COVID-19-associated hyponatremia can be linked to acute kidney injury, the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), or secondary infections. This case study explores a 77-year-old patient with persistent symptomatic hyponatremia post-COVID-19, highlighting the multifactorial etiology and…
