The Syndrome of Inappropriate Secretion of AntiDiuretic Hormone in Patients With Brucellosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Various studies have shown that a number of infectious disease causes syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). However, the relationship between infectious disease and SIADH is not yet fully known. In this prospective study, we aimed to assess the presence of SIADH in patients with brucellosis.

Patients and methods

Thirty-five patients with acute brucellosis were retrospectively reviewed. The diagnosis of brucellosis was performed using the Wright test in connection with blood culture. SIADH was defined by euvolemic hyponatremia (serum sodium level lower than 135 mEq/l) with increased urinary sodium excretion (urinary sodium higher than 40 mmol/l).

Results

Of the 35 patients, 19 (54%) had SIADH; 20 (57%) also had hypouricemia (uric acid level lower than 4 mg/dl). Additionally, all of the studied patients had a high mean urinary sodium excretion rate (mean 132 mmol/l; range 40-224). Most importantly, the hyponatremic patients were more likely to have a lower albumin level (P < 0.01).

Conclusions

SIADH is a major complication of brucellosis. The presence of SIADH could be a diagnostic tool for diagnosing brucellosis. Further larger randomized studies may confirm these findings.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Tolvaptan effectively corrects hyponatremia due to the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), but undesired overcorrection can occur. We hypothesized that pretherapy parameters can predict the rapidity of response to tolvaptan in SIADH. STUDY DESIGN:Multicenter historical cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS:Adults with SIADH or congestive heart failure (CHF) treated with tolvaptan for a serum sodium concentration ? 130 mEq/L at 5 US hospitals. PREDICTORS:Demographic and laboratory parameters. OUTCOMES:Rate of change in serum sodium concentration. MEASUREMENTS:Spearman correlations, analysis of variance, and multivariable linear mixed-effects models. RESULTS:28 patients with SIADH and 39 patients with CHF treated with tolvaptan (mean baseline serum sodium, 120.6 and 122.4 mEq/L, respectively) were studied. Correction of serum sodium concentration > 12 mEq/L/d occurred in 25% of patients with SIADH compared to 3% of those with CHF (P<0.001). Among patients with SIADH, the increase in serum sodium over 24 hours was correlated with baseline serum sodium concentration (r=-0.78; P<0.001), serum urea nitrogen concentration (SUN; r=-0.76; P<0.001), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (r=0.58; P=0.01). Baseline serum sodium and SUN concentrations were identified as independent predictors of change in serum sodium concentration in multivariable analyses. When patients were grouped into 4 categories according to baseline serum sodium and SUN median values, those with both low baseline serum sodium (?121 mEq/L) and low baseline SUN concentrations (?10mg/dL) exhibited a significantly greater rate of increase in serum sodium concentration (mean 24-hour increase of 15.4 mEq/L) than the other 3 categories (P<0.05). Among patients with CHF, only baseline SUN concentration was identified as an independent predictor of change in serum sodium concentration over time. LIMITATIONS:Lack of uniformity in serial serum sodium concentration determinations and documentation of water intake. CONCLUSIONS:Baseline serum sodium and SUN values are predictive of the rapidity of hyponatremia correction following tolvaptan use in SIADH. We advise caution when dosing tolvaptan in patients with both low serum sodium and SUN concentrations.

Project description:Rationale & Objective:Euvolemic hyponatremia often occurs due to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Vasopressin 2 receptor antagonists may be used to treat SIADH. Several of the major trials used 15 mg of tolvaptan as the lowest effective dose in euvolemic and hypervolemic hyponatremia. However, a recent observational study suggested an elevated risk for serum sodium level overcorrection with 15 mg of tolvaptan in patients with SIADH. Study Design:A retrospective chart review study comparing outcomes in patients with SIADH treated with 15 versus 7.5 mg of tolvaptan. Settings & Participants:Patients with SIADH who were treated with a very low dose of tolvaptan (7.5 mg) at a single center compared with patients using a 15-mg dose from patient-level data from the observational study described previously. Predictors:Tolvaptan dose of 7.5 versus 15 mg daily. Outcomes:Appropriate response to tolvaptan, defined as an initial increase in serum sodium level > 3 mEq/L, and overcorrection of serum sodium level (>8 mEq/L per day, and >10 mEq/L per day in sensitivity analyses). Analytical Approach:Descriptive study with additional outcomes compared using t tests and F-tests (Fischer's Exact ?2 Test). Results:Among 18 patients receiving 7.5 mg of tolvaptan, the mean rate of correction was 5.6 ± 3.1 mEq/L per day and 2 (11.1%) patients corrected their serum sodium levels by >8 mEq/L per day, with 1 of these increasing by >12 mEq/L per day. Of those receiving tolvaptan 7.5 mg, 14 had efficacy, with increases ? 3 mEq/L; similar results were seen with the 15-mg dose (21 of 28). There was a statistically significant higher chance of overcorrection with the use of 15 versus 7.5 mg of tolvaptan (11 of 28 vs 2 of 18; P = 0.05; and 10 of 28 vs 1 of 18; P = 0.03, for >8 mEq/L per day and >10 mEq/L per day, respectively). Limitations:Small sample size, retrospective, and nonrandomized. Conclusions:Tolvaptan, 7.5 mg, daily corrects hyponatremia with similar efficacy and less risk for overcorrection in patients with SIADH versus 15 mg of tolvaptan.
