The aim of this study was to determine whether decreased serum sodium concentration could be associated with the disease activity in SLE.

Hyponatremia was associated with serum chloride (p = 0.004), albumin (p = 0.002) and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) (p = 0.026) in children with SLE. Serum sodium levels were correlated negatively with ESR (p =0.001) and positively with seru ...[more]
