Hyponatremia is a condition and it occurs when the concentration of sodium in the blood is at very low level. A low sodium level in the blood may be caused due to too much water or fluid in the body. Sodium is an electrolyte, and it regulate the amount of water around the cells. Hyponatremia ICD 10 Code is E87. 1, as per WHO it is also used for Hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia under Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases.

Hyponatremia is a medical condition where sodium concentration in the blood is abnormally low. Sodium, an essential electrolyte, helps maintain the balance of fluids inside and outside the body’s cells. When the sodium levels drop below the normal range (135-145 milliequivalents per liter), it can disrupt the body’s normal functioning.
In this disease when any one drinking too much water due to this reason the sodium in body become diluted body’s water level rise due to this cells begin to swell. Due to swelling many health problems arises.
