Although preliminary studies indeed showed a higher degree of AKI and RRT in patients treated with normal saline compared to balanced crystalloids [ 46 , 47 ], a recent large randomized controlled trial failed to confirm these Hyponatremia, defined as a decrease in serum sodium below 136 mmol/L, is a common occurrence in both inpatients and outpatients and can be found in up to 15% of the general hospital populations
symptoms Severe: It can be induced by a marked increase in water intake (primary polydipsia) and/or by impaired water excretion due, for example, to advanced kidney failure or persistent release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

Great care is required to avoid rapid correction of severe hyponatremia
Hypertonic saline is a crystalloid intravenous fluid composed of NaCl dissolved in water with a higher sodium concentration than normal blood serum
As a pharmacist, it's easy to overlook normal saline as a "drug," but if you see a patient getting high doses of Lasix at the same time they have a bag of NS running, it's probably worth at least a question

A nurse is caring for a patient whose hemodynamic monitoring indicates a blood pressure of 92/54 mm Hg, a pulse of 64 beats/min, and a high when it is diluted with water or saline is counter-intuitive
This has led to the common notion that LR should be avoided in a patient with hyperkalemia
