Hyponatremia after Thyroid Hormone Withdrawal in a Patient with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Hyponatremia is an electrolyte abnormality commonly found in clinical practice. It is important to diagnose the underlying etiology of the hyponatremia and correct it appropriately because severe hyponatremia can cause serious complications and substantially increase the risk of mortality. Although...
