Hyponatremia is one of the most common electrolyte disorders encountered in hospitalized patients, yet it remains frequently misdiagnosed and mistreated. This session will use real-world case discussions to highlight diagnostic pitfalls, differentiate key etiologies such as SIADH, hypovolemia, and drug-induced hyponatremia, and guide evidence-based evaluation strategies. Faculty will also review safe correction protocols, monitoring approaches, and prevention of complications like osmotic demyelination. Designed for internal medicine physicians and healthcare professionals, the webinar aims to provide practical bedside tools for confident and effective management of inpatient hyponatremia.
