Brief summary

Acute water load test has been using to diagnose renal ability to excrete water for decades. Latest recommendations for the diagnosis of hyponatremia do not recommend performing such a test. The investigators aim at, retrospectively, study the value of acute water load test in patients suffering from a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis.

Interventions

PROCEDUREAcute water load test

The acute water load test consists in administering orally 20 mL/kg (of body weight) of water (ingested in less than 30 min) and then follow (during 4 to 6 hours) blood and urine parameters.
