Severe Hypernatremia in a Significantly Underweight Female Child
In this study, we present the case of a 5-year-old female who presented for evaluation of dehydration with labs that revealed significant hypernatremia concerning for diabetes insipidus (DI). Further evaluation revealed that she had underlying chronic malnutrition. Her diagnostic work up for DI prod...

description | In this study, we present the case of a 5-year-old female who presented for evaluation of dehydration with labs that revealed significant hypernatremia concerning for diabetes insipidus (DI). Further evaluation revealed that she had underlying chronic malnutrition. Her diagnostic work up for DI produced some evidence consistent with DI while other data indicated otherwise, bringing up the possibility of partial DI. She was ultimately diagnosed with sporadic vasopressin release secondary to her chronic malnutrition. This case illustrates another effect chronic malnutrition can have on pediatric patients along with the importance of a broad differential for patients with severe hypernatremia. |
