Unlabelled: The association between hyponatremia and osteoporosis was evaluated in humans. A significant association was found between low sodium levels, lower bone mineralization in the hip, and with several common conditions. Hyponatremia could be used as a marker of osteoporosis and systemic disease.
Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between hyponatremia and osteoporosis in humans through a cross-sectional study.
Methods: Patient information was gathered from regional and national Danish patient databases, both in- and outpatient settings, from 2004 to 2011. Patients with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans performed within this time were included if accompanied [Na+] was measured within 14 days prior or past the scan date. A total of 1575 patients were included.
Results: A total of 104 patients were hyponatremic (6.6 %). Total hip and lumbar spine bone mineral content (BMC) and densities (BMD) and T-scores were all significantly lower with hyponatremia. The odds ratio (OR) of osteoporosis significantly increased among hyponatremic patients at both total hip (unadjusted OR = 2.17, 95% CI = [1.40-3.34], p < .05) and lumbar spine (unadjusted OR = 1.83, 95% CI = [1.20-2.80], p < .05) regions. Dose-response found between increasing [Na+] and increasing total hip BMC (slope .174, adjusted p < .05), BMD (slope .004, adjusted p < .05), and T-score (slope .034, adjusted p < .05). Systemic disease was more prevalent in hyponatremia.
Conclusion: The presence of hyponatremia increases the risk of concurrent osteoporosis at both the total hip and lumbar spine in humans. Hyponatremia could be used a screening tool and marker of secondary osteoporosis.

The nonpathogenic role of hyponatremia in the onset of osteoporosis: A Mendelian randomization study.

The relationship between hyponatremia and osteoporosis is controversial, and it remains unclear if there is a causal link between the two. This study employed a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the potential causal relationship between hyponatremia and osteoporosis. The instrumental variables were derived from genome-wide association studies conducted in European populations.

Article Synopsis
- Hyponatraemia can adversely affect cognitive function and increase risks for falls, fractures, and even hospital mortality.
- The objective of the study was to identify safety signals related to drug-induced hyponatraemia and analyze cases reported in the Spanish Pharmacovigilance System.
- The analysis revealed 659 cases of suspected drug-induced hyponatraemia, with a significant increase over five years; most cases were serious, affecting primarily elderly women, and were commonly associated with diuretics and antidepressants.

Femoral neck fractures are a common complication of falls, particularly in the osteoporotic elderly female population. This case highlights the significance of properly radiologically evaluating elderly patients with falls. A 68-year-old White female with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation on anticoagulation, nicotine use disorder, chronic hyponatremia, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia presented to the emergency department (ED) in considerable pain four days after a previously diagnosed left pubic symphysis fracture.

Article Synopsis
- * Research using rat models shows that microglia, a type of brain cell, play a significant role in the development of ODS, but the effects of both rapid sodium correction and chronic low sodium on microglia are still unclear.
- * Studies demonstrate that low sodium levels decrease the expression of Nos2 mRNA and nitric oxide production in microglia, and that rapid sodium correction increases these levels, indicating that microglia may contribute to the neurological problems associated with chronic hypon
Context: Hyponatremia is associated with increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. The impact of hyponatremia on non-invasive indices of bone quality, however, is unknown.
Objective: To evaluate whether trabecular bone microarchitecture, assessed non-invasively by trabecular bone score (TBS), is altered in patients with hyponatremia.
