- Abstract
The article presents a case study investigating the epidemiology of hyponatremia. As part of the study, a 76-year-old woman who developed hyponatremia after admission due accidental fracture of the femoral neck has been diagnosed. Discussion on the need to eliminate the restrictive and inappropriate term "cerebral" from salt wasting to expand our consideration of renal salt wasting beyond the cerebrum is also provided.
