In this study of a large cohort from a tertiary care hospital in a non-endemic area of TB, 0.07% of patients presenting with hyponatremia, but especially younger patients and patients with high CRP values, were diagnosed with TB. Crucially, patients with moderate to profound hyponatremia had a significantly higher mortality rate and thus required increased medical care.
