To determine the incidence, clinical features, etiology, risk factors, and mortality in internal medicine patients with hyponatremia (P-Na).A prospective survey was conducted in patients with P-Na, diagnosed at admission in an Internal Medicine Department. 692 patients were then selected and subsequently divided into 3 groups based on the severity of P-Na. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to explore the factors associated with levels of P-Na.The prevalence of P-Na was 3.37%. Euvolemia P-Na was the predominant subtype in 3 types of P-Na (49.42%). Gastrointestinal and neurological manifestations were common hyponatremic symptoms. The leading 5 underlying diagnoses were chest infection (31.94%), malignancy (10.84%), cardiac disease (6.36%), liver cirrhosis (6.07%), and neurological disease (5.20%). Moderate and severe P-Na had higher mortalities than mild P-Na (P <.05). For the levels of serum Na, Age, and serum Cl were positively correlated while serum K, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and Glu were negatively correlated (P <.05).P-Na is common in internal medicine and accompanied by other electrolyte disturbances, various symptoms/diagnoses, and increased mortalities with decreasing Na, which requires special attention in clinical practice.
