Antidiuretic Principle in Tuberculous Lung Tissue of a Patient with Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Hyponatremia
TLDR
The tuberculous lung tissue and the urine from a 51-year-old white man with advanced pulmonary tuberculosis without renal or adrenal involvement, hyponatremia, and high urinary osmolality are analyzed for tuberculosis-like symptoms.Abstract:
A 51-year-old white man had advanced pulmonary tuberculosis without renal or adrenal involvement, hyponatremia, and high urinary osmolality. The tuberculous lung tissue and the urine from ...read more

Neurogenic disorders of osmoregulation
TL;DR: So-called essential hypernatremia due to primary resetting of the osmostat has been postulated, but unambiguous evidence for such an entity has not yet been reported.

Hyponatremia and inflammation: the emerging role of interleukin-6 in osmoregulation
TL;DR: Evidence for an important role for interleukin-6 in the non-osmotic release of vasopressin in hyponatremia is reviewed by exploring the immuno-neuroendocrine pathways connecting interleuko-6 with vasoppressin.

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Experience of a community hospital and review of the literature.
TL;DR: It is concluded that extrapulmonary tuberculosis remains an important infectious disease problem despite the overall decrease in the national incidence of tuberculosis.

Overview of Clinical Tuberculosis
TL;DR: The clinical expression of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is quite varied and depends on a number of identified factors, and vaccination with bacillus of Calmette and Guerin in persons with intact cell-mediated immunity minimizes the risk of early disseminated tuberculosis, especially in children.

The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone
TL;DR: The possible role of the inappropriate release of antidiuretic hormone in all these disorders and in the hyponatremia which can occur postoperatively or in congestive heart failure or cirrhosis, requires further definition by new, specific assay technics.

A syndrome of renal sodium loss and hyponatremia probably resulting from inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone
TL;DR: Study of patients with bronchogenic carcinoma in whom hyponatremia developed as the result of unexplained failure of renal sodium conservation indicate that sustained inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone was probably responsible for the disorder of sodium metabolism.
