Neonatal Hyponatremia
Symptoms and Signs of Neonatal Hyponatremia
Symptoms and signs of neonatal hyponatremia include nausea and vomiting, apathy, headache, seizures, hypothermia, weakness, and coma. Infants with hyponatremic dehydration may appear quite ill, because hyponatremia causes disproportionate reductions in extracellular fluid volume. Symptoms and signs are related to duration and degree of hyponatremia.
