Does mannitol cause hypernatremia or hyponatremia?
I believe UWorld contradicts itself:
- "Common SEs of mannitol are N/V, headache, and hyponatremia"
- "Mannitol is not used as maintenace therapy for any indication because it causes a brisk free water diuresis that leads to hypernatremia with chronic use"
