Background: Hyponatremia is a frequently observed electrolyte abnormality in patients with central nervous system disease. Several mechanisms, such as SIADH, hypopituitarism, and CSWS, have been proposed with varied incidences among several studies. We attempted to clarify the incidence and mechanism of hyponatremia for each type of TBI. We also assessed the efficacy of sodium supplementation and retention therapy. For sodium retention therapy, hydrocortisone was administered, expecting its mineralocorticoid effect, when the hyponatremia was associated with excess natriuresis.Methods: Retrospective analysis of 298 patients with TBI between January 2003 and December 2004 was performed. The incidence, background, clinical data, and outcome were evaluated.Results: Of the 298 patients, 50 (16.8%) presented hyponatremia during the time course. Hyponatremia was associated with longer hospital stay (P
