    Iatrogenic hyperosmolar state can occur in critically ill patients due to excessive salt solutions or fluid depletion. Careful monitoring and avoiding certain medical practices are crucial for prevention.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Iatrogenic hyperosmolar state is a serious metabolic disturbance.
    • Understanding its causes is vital for preventing patient harm.

    Observation:

    • Presents four cases of iatrogenic nondiabetic hyperosmolar state.
    • Highlights clinical presentation, biochemical findings, and management strategies.

    Findings:

    • Avoid infusing hypertonic solutions above patient tolerance.
    • Do not irrigate hollow viscera with hypertonic solutions or use salt as an emetic.
    • Stress, high cortisol levels, corticosteroids, excess salt solutions, water depletion, and IV nutrition without monitoring precipitate this state.

    Implications:
