Hyponatremia - A new approach : part 1. Basic concepts.

Hyponatremia is possibly the topic you will read multiple times and still not be able to apply it to practice (at least I did when I was a resident). In this series we will discuss hyponatremia in a physiological way and understand why this happens and use that knowledge to figure out the cause. We will start with very basic physiology about aldosterone and ADH and understand some of the terms we will be using in later videos. I found the following video to be very simple in explaining basic physiology of aldosterone & ADH. Would highly recommend it if you have time. https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep...
