초록

Objectives: This report aims to present the case of Korean medicine therapies including Samilsingi-hwan on recurrent hyponatremia in the elderly. Method: A laboratory test was conducted on a patient with general weakness, anorexia, and excess salivation. The patient was diagnosed with hyponatremia and so received intravenous fluid treatment. Results: We continued fluid treatment until electrolyte levels of sodium returned to normal, but the levels gradually dropped repeatedly when the fluid treatment was discontinued. After changing the herbal medicine to Samilsingi-hwan, recurrence of hyponatremia was not seen, even after stopping the fluid treatment. Clinical symptoms also improved during 35 days of hospitalization. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that Samilsingi-hwan may be effective in recurrent hyponatremia in the elderly. Further research is needed.
