Hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia

Coding Tips

  • Distinguish between acute and chronic hyponatremia, as treatment approaches differ significantly
  • Document the underlying cause such as SIADH, excessive water intake, or diuretic use

Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together

  • syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (E22.2)
