What this Trial Is About
Hyponatremia due to SIAD is frequently insufficiently corrected by fluid restriction alone, which remains the first-line therapy but is often poorly tolerated. Urea supplementation is recommended as second-line therapy. This prospective study evaluates the effectiveness of oral urea supplementation in patients with chronic SIAD and persistent hyponatremia despite fluid restriction.
