Hyponatremia is caused by either (a) excess water intake (water intoxication) with normal renal capacity to excrete solute-free water or (b) continued solute-free water intake with a decreased renal capacity for solutefree water excretion. It occurs whenever free water intake exceeds free water losses. In subjects with normal renal function excessive water intake alone does not cause hyponatremia unless it exceeds approximately 1 L/h. As a general rule one’s maximal free water excretion is equal to approximately 10 to 15% of glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
