Hypernatraemia over 160 mmol/L is considered to be severe. This case reports a patient who developed extreme hypernatraemia with a serum sodium concentration of 196 mmol/L. The patient was known to have chronic renal impairment and was admitted with acute deterioration of renal function secondary to dehydration. This was considered to be secondary to poor oral fluid intake (related to depression) and lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipiclus with salt-losing nephropathy. The patient had a high urinary sodium excretion but was also in a pure water losing state as evidenced by an inappropriately low urine osmolality for the plasma osmolality and was successfully treated with hypotonic intravenous fluid and desmopressin.
