I'm kind of amazed at how normal the other labs are.

This happened over a long period of time, so I think other things normalized.

I'm still voting that someone got her a salt-lick for the holidays.

My picture clipped the urine osmoles, which were 632 - not 63, and left out the urine sodium. Uploaded new pic which included the pertinent values.

Urine osmoles above 600 suggest dehydration or increased salt load. Differentiation can be made by looking at the urine sodium. Low urine sodium suggests dehydration, high urine sodium suggests high salt load. Her urine sodium was 21. Exogenous sodium load should increase urine sodium higher than 100. Had to look that one up.

Say hello to Jacque for me.

Did you pan scan? 😉

Always. Nothing like admitting for hypernatremia and getting dinged for missing the benign calcified nodule in the lung.

Don't forget: clinical correlation suggested.

No, it's the other way around. Her family was using her tied to a stake to lure deer into a clearing.

So sad. I really had that image of this old lady with a salt-lick next to her bed, complete with a red gift bow.

Thanks for including the other numbers. I always have to look that up too so I make sure I've got my arrows pointing in the right direction.
