CLINICAL REFERENCE

CLINICAL INSIGHT

When to Use

Differential diagnosis of hypotonic hyponatremia (Na < 135, Posm < 275).
Screening for inappropriate ADH secretion in euvolemic patients.
Evaluating suspected drug-induced (SSRIs, carbamazepine) or paraneoplastic SIADH.

CLINICAL INSIGHT

How it Works

The Bartter-Schwartz Criteria

Hypotonic hyponatremia (Serum sodium < 135 mEq/L, Plasma osmolality < 275 mOsm/kg).
Inappropriate urinary concentration (Urine osmolality > 100 mOsm/kg in the presence of hypotonicity).
Clinical Euvolemia (Absence of edema or dehydration).
Elevated Urinary Sodium excretion (> 40 mEq/L) with normal salt and water intake.
Exclusion of other causes (Adrenal insufficiency, Hypothyroidism, Diuretics).

Practical Pearls

Supplemental Features

Serum Uric Acid	< 4 mg/dL
BUN	Low (< 10 mg/dL)
Fractional Excretion of Na	> 1%
FE of Urea	> 55%

Differential Trap

Cerebral Salt Wasting (CSW) is the main mimic of SIADH in neurosurgical patients. Unlike SIADH, CSW patients are HYPOVOLEMIC and have an appropriately high urine sodium due to primary sodium wasting. CSW is treated with salt and fluid replacement, whereas SIADH is treated with fluid restriction.
