AB Essentials  of  DiagnosisHyponatremia  develops  when  water  intake  exceeds  water  losses.Most  cases  of  hyponatremia  are  caused  by  impaired  water  excretion  due  to  excess  antidiuretic  hormone  (ADH).The  reason  for  excess  ADH  can  be  determined  by  a  clinical  assessment  of  extracellular  volume  status  and  measurement  of  urine  chemistries.
