Exercise-associated hyponatremia and its more serious form, known as exercise-associated hyponatremic encephalopathy, are recognized as some of the most important medical problems seen in a variety of different forms of endurance exercise. We describe a case of exercise-associated hyponatremic encephalopathy presenting as altered conscious state and seizures in a woman who had completed a 20-km open ocean swim. Her serum sodium measured approximately 1 hour after her seizure was 119 mmol/L on point-of-care testing.

Objectives: To determine more conclusively whether intravenous (IV) administration of 3% saline is more efficacious than oral administration in reversing below normal blood sodium concentrations in runners with biochemical hyponatremia.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Methods: 26 hyponatremic race finishers participating in the 161-km Western States Endurance Run were randomized to receive either an oral (n=11) or IV (n=15) 100mL bolus of 3% saline.

Salt replacement is often recommended to prevent exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) despite a lack of evidence to support such practice. Exercise-associated hyponatremia is known to be a complex process resulting from the interplay of hydration, arginine vasopressin, and sodium balance. Although evidence suggests overhydration is the dominant pathophysiologic factor in most cases, the contributions of sweat sodium losses remain unclear.
