AI Article Synopsis
- * This study investigates the impact of hyponatremia in asymptomatic individuals who have cryptococcal antigenemia (the presence of cryptococcal antigens in the blood).
- * It finds that having serum hyponatremia levels at or below 130 mmol/L independently raises the risk of developing meningitis and increases mortality in these individuals.
Article Abstract
Among persons with human immunodeficiency virus-associated cryptococcal meningitis serum hyponatremia is a risk factor for mortality; however, the role of hyponatremia in persons with asymptomatic cryptococcal antigenemia is unknown. We found that serum hyponatremia ≤130 mmol/L is an independent risk factor for progression to meningitis and death in asymptomatic persons with cryptococcal antigenemia.
