Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy With Adjusted Dialysate Sodium Concentration for Severe Hyponatremia in Beer Potomania: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Beer potomania is a condition characterized by severe hyponatremia in chronic alcoholics with poor nutritional intake. When complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI), it presents a significant management challenge. We report a case of a 32-year-old male with a history of alcoholism who presented with malaise, nausea, and vomiting. Laboratory tests revealed severe hyponatremia (serum sodium 104 mEq/L) and AKI. Conventional treatment approaches posed risks of overcorrection and osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). We implemented continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) with meticulously adjusted dialysate sodium concentrations. This approach enabled gradual, controlled correction of serum sodium without precipitating ODS. The patient was successfully liberated from hemodialysis on the twelfth day of illness. Our findings highlight the potential of CKRT as an effective treatment modality for severe hyponatremia in beer potomania with AKI, offering a means of gradual sodium correction while addressing renal dysfunction. This case underscores the importance of tailored management strategies in complex clinical scenarios involving electrolyte imbalances and kidney injury.
