Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuresis (SIAD), is produced by an alteration in the hypothalamus-neurohypophysis axis due to a failure in the osmotic regulatory response or non-osmotic factors, with complications directly related to the degree of hyponatremia and impact on quality of life and patient mortality. Management consists of normalization of natremia, and the search for the underlying etiology. We present the case of an adult patient diagnosed with idiopathic SIAD and associated neurocognitive disorder, with a favorable response to treatment with urea.

Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre glucemia de ingreso y desenlaces adversos en pacientes hospitalizados con COVID-19 en un hospital nacional peruano. Estudio observacional Material y Métodos: tipo cohorte retrospectiva. Se revisaron historias clínicas electrónicas de pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19 en un servicio de especialidades. Los pacientes se clasificaron según niveles de glucemia al ingreso: ≤ y >140mg/dL; el desenlace primario fue mortalidad y el secundario un compuesto que incluyó mortalidad, shock séptico, ventilación mecánica o traslado a UCI. Se evaluó la estancia hospitalaria y se realizó un subanálisis de regresión logística multivariada en pacientes diabéticos. Resultados: Se evaluaron 169 pacientes, media de edad 61 años, 64.5% varones. 71% presentaban alguna comorbilidad, siendo las más frecuentes: hipertensión arterial (34%), obesidad (30%)...

Objective: Evaluate the association between glycemia on admission and adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID19 in a Peruvian national hospital.  Methods: Retrospective, observational cohort study. We collected data from electronic medical records of COVID19 patients in a medical specialties service. Patients were classified according to blood glucose levels on admission: ≤ and >140mg/dL. Primary outcome was mortality, and the secondary a composite that included mortality, septic shock, mechanical ventilation, or transfer to ICU. We also evaluated hospital stay and a multivariate logistic regression sub analysis was performed in diabetic patients. Results: 169 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 61 years, 64.5% were male. 71% had at least one comorbidity, the most frequent: arterial hypertension (34%), obesity (30%) and diabetes (26%). 70% presented tomographic g...
