Abstract

Background: The occurrence of hyponatremia is a prevalent electrolyte anomaly observed commonly in individuals diagnosed with both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. The substance mainly exhibits hypoosmolarity and is indicative of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) or cerebral salt-wasting syndrome (CSWS). This study aimed to assess the clinical range, such as frequency, severity, and association, of hyponatremia in stroke patients.


Objective: The primary objective of the research is to analyze the factors that play a critical role in the identification of hyponatremia in ischemic stroke patients during hospital admission and treatment.


Method: The study chose a quantitative primary method to evaluate and extract responses. 100 patients have been selected to volunteer in the study. All of the patients admitted to Hospital for Ischemic Stroke or else have a prior history of Ischemic Stroke. SPSS has been used to examine the response and generate the results in graphical format. Respondents have been chosen on the basis of an abnormal sodium concentration in their blood.


Result: It has been found in the results that abnormal sodium concentration is not limited to only one cause. Moreover, it has been found that BMI, coexisting disease or disorder, age, and gender play critical roles in the development of hyponatremia.


Conclusion: It has been concluded that the association of sodium concentration with the frequency and severity of hypernatremia in stroke patients is closely related to serum osmolality, urine sodium, and urine osmolality in the patient, along with other factors.
