Medical Conditions
The liver, kidney, and heart issues can all increase the risk of hyponatremia. These are essential organs that ensure that the body can absorb and get rid of sodium properly. Thus, when there is any problem with them, the overall balance can be severely affected. Studies have shown that congestive heart failure would cause fluids to build up in the body, which eventually dilutes the levels of sodium and reduce ist overall contents. Some other medical conditions with high risk include gastrointestinal illnesses, severe burns, high blood sugar, hypothyroidism, and liver cirrhosis. [7]
