| Abstract |
We report a case of nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis caused by carbamazepine (CBZ). CBZ, an antiepileptic drug, is known to cause hyponatremia. The mechanism is generally considered to be inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone, whereas an experimental study suggests a direct effect of CBZ on the kidney by stimulating vasopressin receptor. An 18-year-old male with atypical autism and epilepsy has been treated with CBZ and clobazam since age 9 and 10 years, respectively. At age 11, he was found to have asymptomatic hyponatremia. He had the habit of drinking tea approximately 3 L/day. The low plasma osmolality and high urine osmolality and sodium concentration in the presence of normal thyroid and adrenal function were compatible with syndrome of inappropriate excretion of antidiuretic hormone. His plasma vasopressin level, however, was undetectable. Urine cyclic AMP level was higher than expected from urine osmolality despite the suppressed plasma arginine vasopressin. With fluid restriction, hyponatremia improved. CBZ tapering begun later in the course maintained normal serum sodium concentrations with less strict water intake. This case demonstrates the direct effect of CBZ stimulating vasopressin receptor in the kidney leading to nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate diuresis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 December 2017.
All research outputs
#20,458,307
of 23,015,156 outputs
Outputs from CEN Case Reports
#176
of 247 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#377,698
of 442,076 outputs
Outputs of similar age from CEN Case Reports
#6
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,015,156 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 247 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,076 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
