- When the cause is diuretics, interruption of treatment is recommended, sometimes in combination with sodium supplementation.
- An increase in the urinary excretion of water and salt. In the presence of clinical signs of a neurological nature (confusion, convulsions, coma), the correction of hyponatremia will involve the injection of a sodium solution intravenously and/or a diuretic to promote the excretion of liquids.
- An increase in salt intake. Some people, particularly those with the Syndrome of Inappropriate Secretion of Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH), require long-term treatment for hyponatremia. Fluid restriction alone is often not enough to prevent a recurrence of hyponatremia. Salt tablets can be used in people with mild to moderate chronic hyponatremia.
