Abstract: Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH)is characterized by hy-po-osmolar hyponatremia and impaired urine dilution capacity.The etiology of SIADH is complicated.Water restriction is the main therapy.Here we reported a 65-year female patient suffered from transient SIADH.She was admitted due to mental tension for over 10 years,bilateral lower limb fatigue for 6 months,vomiting for 3 days and anxiety symptoms.The examination findings revealed hypo-osmolar hyponatremia,which was consist-ent with the diagnostic criterion of SIADH.After anti-anxiety therapy and physiological saline supplement,the level of serum sodium gradually returned to normal range.During the advanced stage,she could maintain elec-trolyte balance by normal diet.After 17 d-hospitalization,she was discharged with no recurrent symptoms. Therefore,the possibility of transient SIADH should be considered for the elderly patients with anxiety symp-toms,especially those complicated with gastrointestinal disorders.
