Hyponatremia and the Thyroid: Causality or Association?

J Clin Med. 2014 Dec 26;4(1):32-6. doi: 10.3390/jcm4010032.

Abstract

Thyroid disorders, particularly hypothyroidism, have historically been implicated in the development of serum hyponatremia. However, in more recent years, this paradigm has been challenged, and it has been suggested that the link between hypothyroidism and hyponatremia may merely be an association. This review will focus on the thyroid and its link with serum hyponatremia, and review the available literature on the topic.

Keywords: electrolytes; hyponatremia; hypothyroidism; thyroid.
