Core Tip	In euvolemic hyponatremic patients, controlling the underlying reason of excessive vasopressin secretion may lead to sudden, large-volume free water diuresis and rise of serum sodium exceeding 10 mmol/L per day. Polyuria after presentation with symptomatic hyponatremia is a serious warning sign and should not be ignored. These patients need frequent electrolyte monitoring and, in case of excessive rise of serum sodium, pure water replacement with 5% dextrose in water to achieve a targeted reduction in serum sodium levels. Early addition of an antidiuretic hormone analog, such as desmopressin, can limit urine output and improve patient outcome.
