Unlabelled: Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte balance disorder, especially in the elderly and polymedicated population. The authors report the case of an 83-year-old man with symptomatic severe hyponatremia due to Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH) related to pantoprazole. Pantoprazole was discontinued and serum sodium levels reached normal values in two months. To the authors' knowledge, this is the second reported case of pantoprazole-related hyponatremia and, while most patients with hyponatremia related to proton pump inhibitors have mild symptoms, this patient had severe manifestations.
Learning Points: The association between hyponatremia and proton pump inhibitors should be kept in mind when evaluating a patient with hyponatremia, especially in the elderly population.Hyponatremia is associated with increased risk of morbidity, which includes risk of fractures and falls, increased length of hospital stay and mortality.Physicians should avoid unnecessary prescriptions and always weigh the advantages and disadvantages when prescribing medications on an individual basis.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), essential for controlling infections, can induce various pathologies when dysregulated. Known triggers for infection-independent NETs release exist, yet a comprehensive understanding of the conditions prompting such responses is lacking. In this study, we identify hyponatremia as an independent inducer of NETs release, a common clinical condition that disrupts sodium/calcium exchange within neutrophils.

Objectives: Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) exposure can lead to hyponatraemia, which is a common cause of delirium. An association between PPI exposure and delirium without hyponatraemia has been suggested in the literature. We aimed to describe the association between reports of delirium and PPI exposure and to assess the association between PPI and delirium with and without hyponatraemia.

Article Synopsis
- Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) use has been linked to serious electrolyte imbalances, particularly hypomagnesemia, which can lead to life-threatening conditions.
- An 80-year-old woman presented with generalized weakness and diarrhea, revealing severe electrolyte abnormalities that did not improve until her PPI medication was discontinued.
- Her hospital stay was complicated by a seizure, likely caused by electrolyte-induced changes in neuronal activity, and she also suffered from Takotsubo cardiomyopathy due to reduced heart function related to prolonged PPI use.

() is a Gram-positive, spore-producing bacterium that often leads to pseudomembranous colitis, typically manifesting as watery diarrhea. The risk factors for infection (CDI) include exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics, immunocompromised states, advanced age, usage of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), and comorbid conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). This report details a case involving a 23-year-old pregnant woman who presented with symptoms of abdominal pain and constipation.

Article Synopsis
- Drug-induced hypomagnesemia can have serious and potentially fatal consequences, particularly from long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which impair magnesium absorption in the intestines.
- The mechanisms involve reduced transport of magnesium through specific cellular channels (TRPM6 and TRPM7) and a decrease in paracellular absorption due to downregulated claudins.
- Two cases are highlighted where PPI use led to electrolyte disorders resulting in cardiac arrhythmia, cognitive changes, and seizures, emphasizing the importance of monitoring magnesium levels in high-risk patients.
