Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH): This condition is characterized by the excessive release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), leading to water retention and subsequently dilutional hyponatremia. It is a common cause of hyponatremia, especially in hospitalized patients.

Heart Failure: Decreased cardiac output can lead to increased ADH secretion and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, causing water and sodium retention.
Nephrotic Syndrome: Significant proteinuria can lead to hypoalbuminemia, which can cause a decrease in oncotic pressure, resulting in water retention and dilutional hyponatremia.
Liver Cirrhosis: Portal hypertension and decreased liver function can lead to an increase in ADH secretion and a decrease in the ability to excrete free water, resulting in hyponatremia.

Adrenal Insufficiency: This condition can lead to a deficiency in aldosterone, causing an inability to retain sodium and water, resulting in hyponatremia. It is crucial to diagnose and treat promptly, as it can be life-threatening.
Hypothyroidism: Severe hypothyroidism can cause a decrease in cardiac output and an increase in ADH secretion, leading to hyponatremia. Although less common, it is essential to consider, as treatment can significantly improve symptoms.
Cerebral Salt Wasting: This rare condition is characterized by the excessive excretion of sodium in the urine, leading to hyponatremia. It is often seen in patients with cerebral disorders and can be life-threatening if not recognized and treated.

Reset Osmostat: A rare condition where the osmoregulatory mechanism is reset, leading to a new equilibrium point for sodium levels, often below the normal range.
Pseudohyponatremia: A condition where the sodium level is artificially lowered due to the presence of high levels of lipids or proteins in the blood, which can interfere with sodium measurement.
Genetic Disorders: Certain genetic disorders, such as familial nephrogenic diabetes insipidus or Liddle syndrome, can affect sodium and water balance, leading to hyponatremia. These conditions are rare and often require specific diagnostic testing.
