Abstract
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality. Patho physiologically, hyponatremia are classified into two groups: hyponatremia due to non-osmotic hypersecretion of vasopressin (hypovolemic, hypervolemic, euvolemic) and hyponatremia of non-hyper vasopressinemic origin (pseudo hyponatremia, water intoxication, cerebral salt wasting syndrome). The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of hyponatremia in children with pneumonia and to investigated whether there is a link between hyponatremia and the severity and outcome of pneumonia. The present study was planned on 25 children diagnosed with pneumonia in department of Paediatrics in Nalanda Medical College and Hospital, Patna, from March 2016 to Dec 2016. At the time of admission, the patient’s clinical history was recorded in prefixed proforma. Serum sodium was measured by a process known as potentiometry. This method measures the voltage that develops between the inner and outer surfaces of an ion selective electrode. Based on the above findings it can be concluded that serum electrolytes should be measured in children hospitalized for pneumonia; the appropriate fluid therapy must be carefully arranged in children with hyponatremia, and both serum and urine sodium levels should be closely monitored. Regular follow up of serum sodium level during the period of hospital stay should be considered to pick up the high risk cases at an early stage. Keywords: pneumonia, sodium level, Hyponatremia, etc.
