Safe Correction of Severe Hyponatremia in Patient with Severe Renal Failure Using Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration with Modified Sodium Content in the Replacement Fluid

Optimal treatment of severe hyponatremia in patients requiring dialysis is not known. Rapid correction with the use of different dialysis modalities can lead to osmotic demyelination syndrome. We described a safe correction of severe hyponatremia in a 42-year-old male patient requiring dialysis, who was treated with continuous venovenous hemofiltration using hypotonic replacement fluid which was prepared and adjusted on a daily basis.
