Hyponatremia in Marathon Runners
Arch Fam Med. 2000;9:517.
The authors report on 7 individuals who developed serious hyponatremia during marathons, leading to one death. Five were women. Four additional women were identified after the paper was submitted. In marathon runners who develop nausea, vomiting, headache, seizures, or coma, the authors recommend considering the possibility of hyponatremia. (Ann Intern Med. 2000;132:711-714).
