The initial approach to emergency treatment of hypernatremia is presented. The differential diagnosis of diabetes insipidus is tabulated, and the importance of distinguishing between the various diagnostic possibilities and its impact on the ongoing management of the condition is emphasized. The pathophysiology of the most common causes of hypernatremia is explored in detail.",
