Unlabelled: Hyponatremia is the most common hydroelectrolyte disorder in hospitalized patients. It is unclear whether there are differences between severe hyponatremia (<125 mEq/L) and very severe hyponatremia (<115 mEq/L) in terms of etiology, response to therapy, and mortality.
Aim: Describe the etiology, symptoms, response to treatment and mortality of hospitalized adults with severe and very severe hyponatremia.

Hypouricemia is defined as a serum uric acid concentration of ≤ 2.0 mg/dL or 119 μmol/L. Hypouricemia may occur secondarily to a number of underlying conditions, including severe hepatocellular disease, neoplasia, defective renal tubular reabsorption of uric acid, inherited metabolic defect in purine metabolism, and drugs.

Although some dietary supplements have been reported to cause renal dysfunction, there have been few reports of supplement-induced Fanconi syndrome. We present the case of a 56-year-old woman with Fanconi syndrome that developed after she consumed a red yeast rice supplement. She was referred to our hospital because of renal dysfunction, and was found to have electrolyte abnormalities, including hypophosphatemia and hypouricemia, renal diabetes, and hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, and was, therefore, diagnosed with Fanconi syndrome.

Serum urate levels are determined by the balance between uric acid production and uric acid excretion capacity from the kidneys and intestinal tract. Dysuricemia, including hyperuricemia and hypouricemia, develops when the balance shifts towards an increase or a decrease in the uric acid pool. Hyperuricemia is mostly a multifactorial genetic disorder involving several disease susceptibility genes and environmental factors.
