A quiet weekend on call begins with the retirement of Dr. Flow, a urologist who made the difficult look simple.  A search for the perfect farewell wine—Pee No More—is abruptly interrupted by a sodium of 122.  At the bedside, memorized algorithms begin to unravel under real clinical pressure.   Through conversation, we explore ADH, aquaporins, and the physiology behind hyponatremia.

Why does volume override tonicity—and how can treatment itself become dangerous?

In Part 1 of Sodium Doom, we move beyond flowcharts and begin to truly understand sodium.
