The electrolyte disturbance hyponatremia or hyponatraemia exists in humans when the sodium (Natrium in Latin) level in the plasma falls below 135 mmol/L. At lower levels water intoxication may result, an urgently dangerous condition. Hyponatremia is an abnormality that can occur in isolation or, as most often is the case, as a complication of other medical illnesses.
