Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a prospective randomised open label trial involving all medical patients admitted to North Shore Hospital from April to July 2015 with hyponatremia secondary to SIADH. Patients will be randomised to one of two management groups: Fluid restriction <800ml alone, or a combination of fluid restriction with oral urea powder (10gm oral urea powder dissolved in 200ml of water or orange jouce given three times a day). The primary end points include time to reach sodium >128, and time to hospital discharge. Once the sodium is >128mmol/L, the primary trial will end and the fluid restriction will be changed to 1000ml and urea stopped. The primary investigator will discuss the intervention (fluid restriction and urea) with the patient and family as well as nursing staff to ensure it is adhered to.

Comparator / control treatment
Control: Fluid restriction only (standard treatment). The patients will have a measuring jug left at their bed side to carefully measure all oral fluid intake. A sign stating "800ml fluid restriction" will be placed at each patient's bed so that other staff/family are aware of this fluid restriction. Nursing staff will be asked to carefully document all oral fluid intake on a daily basis. The fluid restriction will be changed to 1000 ml when sodium is >128mmol/L.

Treatment arm: Fluid restriction + Urea tablets

Summary
Brief summary
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disturbance encountered in the hospital setting, and is defined as serum sodium less than 135mmol/L. It is associated with an increase risk of patient mortality as well as a longer length of hospital admission. The Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH) is the most common cause of hyponatremia in hospital inpatients. Fluid restriction is widely accepted as the first line therapy for the management of hyponatremia secondary to SIADH. Other proposed treatments include urea, salt tablets and demeclocycline, however the evidence for their use is scarce and often limited to case series.

This is a prospective randomised open label trial involving all medical patients admitted to North Shore Hospital from April to July 2015 with hyponatremia secondary to SIADH. Patients will be randomised to one of two management groups: Fluid restriction <800ml alone, or a combination of fluid restriction with urea. The primary end points include time to reach sodium >128, and time to hospital discharge. Using a 2-sided alpha level of 0.05, to detect a 5mmol/L or greater difference in mean serum sodium after one day with 80% power, will require a minimum of 12 subjects per group.
