Concept Map on Hyponatremia

Predisposing factors:
- Age
- Gender

Precipitating factors:
- SIADH
- Heart, Liver, and Kidney
problems
- Certain Medications
- Diet
- Lifestyle
- Recreational drugs
- Surgery

Low Level of
Sodium

Risk for Hyponatremia related

to unreplaced loss or limited
oral intake
