[Dilution hyponatremia and conserved natriuresis in pulmonary tuberculosis (author's transl)]
Abstract:
Association of dilution hyponatremia and normal natriuresis produce an inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone. In this pulmonary tuberculosis case we report manifestations along with the other biological criteria of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone. All disturbances cease when pulmonary tuberculosis is cured. This syndrome may be due either to disturbance in the regulatory apparatus of antidiuretic hormone secretion or to the antidiuretic principle in tubercular lung tissue.
