Episode 78: Hyponatraemia | Sodium Solutions
Update: 2025-03-31
Description
Hyponatraemia, the most common electrolyte disturbance in clinical medicine, is often subtle but can be serious.
In this episode, we trace the surprising history of fluid replacement back to the 1832 cholera riots in Liverpool, where experimental saline saved lives amidst chaos and mistrust.
We then bring the conversation into modern practice, exploring diagnostic steps, common causes, and when GPs should refer patients to hospital.
This is the story of Hyponatraemia.
Our special guest is:
Dr Michael Page, Chemical Pathologist and CEO of Clinipath.
