Pseudohyponatremia of Multiple Myeloma is True Hyponatremia

August 28, 2011 updated by: Meir Medical Center

a Study to Evaluate the Electrolyte Changes in Particular Sodium,in Multiple Myeloma and the Effect of the m- Proteins on the Strong Ion Difference

Hypothesis: the hyponatremia of multiple myeloma (m.m.)is true and not pseudohyponatremia by using the stewart approach to acid - base interpretation, would like to show that the positive charged m- proteins produced in m.m.result in true hyponatremia.
