Guillain-Barrè syndrome and inadequate antidiuretic hormone secretion syndrome
Autor(es): Pöschl P, Kohl Z, Thoden U, Winkler J, Jakob W
Resumo: Several neurologic disorders including Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) are associated with hyponatremia. Hyponatremia and its overly fast correction have major implications to the course of the underlying neurologic disease. We report a case of GBS complicated by hyponatremia secondary to the development of inadequate antidiuretic hormone secretion syndrome. Differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, and therapeutic approach of hyponatremia in association with GBS are discussed.
