Abstract
In older adults, hyponatremia often represents a medical emergency and is frequently associated with neurological manifestations or symptomatic pictures that the clinician mistakes for other pathologies. This paper deals with some practical considerations in the assessment and management of hyponatremia in older adults in the acute care setting, following the clinical discussion that took place at the Soave (Italy) meeting convened by the scientific committee of the Italian Society of Geriatrics Hospital and Territory.
