Severe hypernatremia and hyperglycemia in a breast–fed neonate.

Bandya Sahoo

Abstract :

Hypernatremia and hyperglycemia are potentially devastating conditions which warrants adequate and immediate treatment. We report a case of severe hypernatremia with severe hyperglycemia in a neonate who had a normal neurodevelopmental outcome at one year. Severity of hypernatremia or hyperglycemia cannot predict the long term outcome. Appropriate and prompt treatment, with a gradual fall in serum sodium could lead to a good neurological outcome.
