Episode Notes

In this episode, we discuss the always daunting (but hopefully not anymore after listening) topic of hyponatremia - with our chief nephrology fellow Max Nutt. We get to hear a nephrologist walk us through how they think through the physiology and diagnosis of hyponatremia, and also how they approach management in the inpatient setting.

CORRECTION: At ~12:30 in the episode, it actually takes a total body water depletion of about 10% to result in hyponatremia, not 20%).
