Hyponatremia was not present in any burn patient with CPM. We conclude that severely burned patients, like alcoholics, are especially susceptible to CPM, and that in burn patients with CPM there is a striking association with serum hyperosmolality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Children with long-term steroid use and gastroenteritis are at increased risk. [ 2 ] Presentation [ 2 ] HHS usually presents in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [patient.info]

In the present study, we evaluated the role of the NOS/NO and HO (haem oxygenase)/CO (carbon monoxide) systems in the osmotic regulation of OT release from rat hypothalamus in vitro. [bioscirep.org]

• Inflammation

  Abstract Although ammonia modifies the third component of complement (C3) and activates the alternative pathway, inflammation is not seen in the renal medulla where ammonia concentrations are normally elevated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Likewise, they don’t all have the same signs—some have ocular inflammation or increased tear film breakup time, and some don’t. But one thing they do have in common is tear film hyperosmolarity. (See “What is Hyperosmolarity?” below.) [reviewofoptometry.com]

  Look in the mouth for dryness, check the pharynx for inflammation and perform auroscopy, looking for middle-ear infection. A quick screening cranial nerve examination may reveal visual field deficits, nystagmus or other cranial nerve palsies. [patient.info]

• Congestive Heart Failure

  Good clinical judgment should be employed, especially when the patient has comorbid conditions such as acute myocardial infarction, a history of congestive heart failure, or renal failure. In such cases, close hemodynamic monitoring is indicated. [aafp.org]

• Heart Failure

  Abstract Patients in the coronary care unit with acute pulmonary edema, heart failure, and other organic heart disease were studied. Blood and urine samples were taken on admission prior to any treatment and later at prescribed intervals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Risk factors include: A stressful event such as infection, heart attack, stroke, or recent surgery Heart failure Impaired thirst Limited access to water (especially in people with dementia or who are bedbound) Older age Poor kidney function Poor management [medlineplus.gov]

  Cardiac examination : This may reveal evidence of heart failure as the precipitant illness, or give reason to suspect myocardial infarction or infective endocarditis. Abdominal examination : This should look for signs of an acute abdomen. [patient.info]

  Good clinical judgment should be employed, especially when the patient has comorbid conditions such as acute myocardial infarction, a history of congestive heart failure, or renal failure. In such cases, close hemodynamic monitoring is indicated. [aafp.org]

• Tachycardia

  Vital signs : Tachycardia is common due to dehydration. Hypotension may be present due to severe fluid depletion or underlying sepsis/cardiac impairment. [patient.info]

• Seizure

  Patients with hyperosmolality showed disturbance of consciousness, convulsive seizures, hyperexcitability, and tachypnea. The latency of photo-evoked eyelid microvibration tended to be prolonged with an elevation of the plasma osmolality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  If not treated right away, seizures, coma, or death may result. [medlineplus.gov]

  Seizures are present in up to 25% of cases. Seizures may be generalised, focal, movement-induced or myoclonic-jerk type. [patient.info]

• Convulsions

  Patients with hyperosmolality showed disturbance of consciousness, convulsive seizures, hyperexcitability, and tachypnea. The latency of photo-evoked eyelid microvibration tended to be prolonged with an elevation of the plasma osmolality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Because phosphate replacement can cause severe hypocalcemia in this setting, serum calcium levels should be monitored closely. 25 Hypomagnesemia may manifest as arrhythmias, muscle weakness, convulsions, stupor, and agitation. [aafp.org]

• Headache

  Symptoms of high blood sugar including increased thirst (polydipsia), increased volume of urination (polyuria), and increased hunger ( polyphagia ). [5] Symptoms of HHS include: Altered level of consciousness Neurologic signs including: blurred vision, headaches [en.wikipedia.org]

• Urea Increased

  Although osmotic tolerance limits of renal IM cells are lower than physiologically necessary when exposed to either NaCl or urea increases, a mixture of NaCl and urea significantly increases osmotic tolerance limits ( 8 ). [pnas.org]

Blood and urine samples were taken on admission prior to any treatment and later at prescribed intervals. All the patients with APE were found to have elevated plasma osmolalities and hyperglycemia on admission which decreased with treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hyperosmolality complicating the management of burned patients has multiple etiologies. Sepsis, hyperglycemia, renal failure, electrolyte disturbances, shock, and substances absorbed from the burn wound may be contributing factors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
